Dead branches, a new lean, cracks in the trunk, fungus at the base, or a tree crowding your home are common signs a tree may need to come down. Have it looked at in person before deciding.
What are the most common warning signs?
Look for large dead limbs, bark falling away, deep cracks or splits in the trunk, mushrooms or fungus near the base, and a lean that has recently changed. Any of these can point to a tree that is weakening.
In Land O' Lakes, laurel oaks and pines are common in residential yards, and summer storms put extra stress on trees that already have problems.
When is location the main concern?
Even a healthy tree can be a problem if it grows too close to your home, roof or driveway. Roots and branches crowding structures are a common reason homeowners consider tree removal.
What should I do next?
Avoid climbing or cutting a damaged tree yourself. Note what you are seeing, take photos from a safe distance and request an estimate so the tree can be reviewed.
