A healthy tree is an asset to your property—but a declining tree can become a serious safety risk. Knowing the warning signs can help you take action before it causes damage or injury.
Watch for these red flags:
-
Cracks in the trunk or major limbs – These can signal structural weakness.
-
Dead or hanging branches – They can fall without warning, especially in high winds.
-
Mushrooms or fungi at the base – Often a sign of internal rot or root decay.
-
Leaning suddenly – A recent change in posture may indicate root damage.
-
Sparse or discolored leaves – Could point to disease, pests, or declining health.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have a certified arborist assess the tree’s condition. Waiting too long can lead to property damage, emergency removals, and higher costs.
At Executive Tree Care, we offer professional tree health assessments and can recommend whether pruning, treatment, or removal is the safest option.
