Signs that Your Trees Need to Be Inspected
Trees, while beautiful, can develop issues over time that may not be visible to the untrained eye. Monitoring your trees and scheduling timely inspections can prevent potential hazards and preserve their beauty. By being aware of certain warning signs, you can decide when to seek professional help from our skilled tree inspectors.
Call our tree inspectors if you’ve noticed:
- Dead or dying branches: If you observe branches that are brown, brittle, or lacking leaves during the growing season, this may indicate disease or a dying tree.
- Cracks or cavities in the trunk: Large cracks or cavities can suggest structural weaknesses or internal decay, posing a risk to the tree's stability.
- Fungal growth: The presence of mushrooms or fungi at the base of the tree or on the trunk often signals rotting wood, which can compromise the tree’s structural integrity.
- Leaning or instability: A sudden or noticeable lean can signify root issues or loss of anchorage, increasing the likelihood of the tree falling.
- Pest infestations: Look for signs of insect activity, such as holes in the bark, sawdust piles, or visible insects, which may weaken or damage your trees.
- Wilting or discolored leaves: Leaves that appear wilted, yellow, or discolored could suggest a lack of nutrients, dehydration, or disease.
If any of these signs are present, it’s important to contact our professional tree inspection services to address and rectify any issues.

How Tree Inspections Help Prevent Storm Damage
Tree inspections are a valuable preventative measure in safeguarding your landscape against storm damage. By assessing your trees' health and structural integrity, our arborists can identify potential hazards that might worsen during inclement weather. Trees with weak branches, disease, or poor root systems are especially vulnerable to storms, risking significant damage if not addressed in advance. By detecting these issues early, we can recommend targeted interventions such as pruning, bracing, or even removing hazardous trees to protect your property from falling branches or uprooted trees during high winds and heavy rain.
Regular inspections also foster your trees' overall resilience, helping them better withstand the stresses of severe weather. By promoting strong root growth and balanced canopies, healthy trees are better equipped to endure storms. Our inspections even consider environmental factors – such as drainage, soil compaction, and light availability – that can affect your trees’ ability to weather future storms.
