Trees are an invaluable part of our landscape, offering beauty, shade, and a habitat for wildlife. However, severe weather, disease, or age can turn them from majestic landmarks into potential hazards overnight. When disaster strikes, knowing what to do can be the difference between a quick resolution and a prolonged, possibly dangerous situation. At Above Ground Tree Services, we specialize in emergency tree removal and are here to guide you through the process.
Recognize the Signs of a Tree Emergency
The first step in dealing with a tree emergency is recognizing the signs that a tree or its limbs might pose a risk. Look out for:
- Significant leaning towards a structure or area of activity
- Cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs
- Decay, fungal growth, or hollow sections in the trunk
- Sudden loss of leaves outside of autumn season
- Hanging or broken branches after severe weather
Identifying these signs early can prevent damage to property and ensure the safety of everyone around.
Stay Safe
In the event of a tree emergency, prioritize safety above all else. Keep a safe distance from the affected tree and avoid trying to remove or support it yourself, as this could result in injury or further damage. Secure the area if possible, to prevent others from entering a potentially dangerous zone.
