Trees may become hazardous for a number of reasons, such as poor health and severe weather events. Generally viewed as fixed, stable plants, trees frequently sustain damage during storms that prove detrimental to their stability. High winds from winter storms and hurricanes, heavy loads of snow during a blizzard, lightning strikes, and the soil being washed out by rain and flooding are all common occurrences that result in hazardous tree conditions.
Fallen trees can block access to homes and cause road closures as well as damage power lines and lead to injury. Winters can be particularly difficult times for trees due to extreme weather events such as blizzards, ice storms, and heavy rain. Having damaged, fallen, or at-risk trees on a property can be stressful and inconvenient at best, but can also be dangerous depending on the situation. Individuals just weathering a storm can become overwhelmed at the task of clearing away the damage. Hiring a reliable, responsive service is imperative for families and businesses to get back on their feet.
However, winter is not the only time of year that trees can pose a threat. Damage due to drought, decay, and insect infestation can lead to hazardous situations. Soil erosion may result in a tree leaning toward a person’s home or other structure. A tree may grow into a power line or its roots may begin to damage water lines and other infrastructure or cause damage to sidewalks and roadways.
Removing fallen or at-risk trees may not seem particularly difficult to a do-it-yourselfer, but so-called DIY tree removal efforts can lead to unforeseen consequences, sometimes resulting in the tree falling into a home, causing significant damages or resulting in injuries.
