A mature pecan can carry tons of wood over a roof, a driveway, or a backyard, and most of the warning signs are easy to miss from the ground. That is why a formal tree risk assessment matters before anyone decides to prune or remove.
During an assessment, our ISA Certified Arborist examines the root flare for decay and girdling roots, checks the trunk for cavities and cracks, and studies how weight is distributed across the major limbs. Pecans are known for dropping large limbs without warning, especially after long stretches of Texas heat and drought.
The goal is an honest picture of the tree. Sometimes that means reducing weight on a single overextended limb, and sometimes the right answer is that the tree is healthy and needs nothing at all.
A pecan that has shaded your home for decades deserves a careful look before any cut is made. An assessment gives you facts, not guesswork, to base that decision on.
