A leaning tree raises a fair question: is this something to act on, or is it just the way the tree grows? The answer depends on factors that take training to evaluate correctly.
ArborSafe arborists assess leaning trees by examining the root plate for signs of recent movement, reviewing the tree's lean history, evaluating the species' typical growth pattern, and considering what the tree is leaning toward. A tree that has held a consistent angle for decades with a stable root system is very different from one that has shifted recently after a storm or nearby excavation work.
The goal of every assessment is an accurate picture of what the tree is actually doing, so that property owners in Nampa, Caldwell, Meridian, Eagle, and across the Treasure Valley can make informed decisions. Removal is sometimes the right call. Often, it isn't. Our arborists won't push you toward an outcome that isn't warranted.
If a tree on your property has you concerned, schedule a consultation and get a clear answer from a certified arborist.
