Avoiding Property Damage from Trees
Tree Pruning
Pruning is often associated with aesthetics and the health of a tree. Overgrown trees are unsightly and can attract pests. One of the biggest hazards of not pruning is the tree developing weak branches. In a storm, these branches could fall on your property. Regular tree pruning keeps the tree healthy to prevent accidental tree falling.
Monitor for Diseases
Diseases can weaken and kill trees on your property. Sometimes, diseases are not noticeable. Common signs are cracks, molding, and decaying. If a dying tree is near a structure, it can cause serious damage.
Remove Weakened and Dying Trees
Weakened or dying trees should be removed from your property immediately. Not only can their disease spread to other trees but they are also likely to fall. If the tree is located near a dwelling, contact a tree service expert immediately.
