Not every dangerous tree looks obviously sick. Hazard trees in Hampton Roads yards can appear green and healthy right up until a branch fails or a trunk cracks in a storm. Knowing what to look for can save you a lot of trouble, and expense.
A few signs that a tree may need professional attention: large dead branches in the upper canopy, a noticeable lean that wasn't there before, cracks or splits in the trunk, mushrooms or fungal growth at the base, and soil heaving or lifting near the root zone. Any one of these can indicate a structural problem that gets worse under wind load.
Hampton Roads sees serious storms, and coastal soil conditions add a layer of risk. Trees with weakened root systems don't need much wind to fail. A professional assessment from Simpson Tree can give you a clear picture of what's a concern and what's fine to leave. We've been doing this work in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and northeastern NC since 1999.

Authentic job photo preferred: a tree showing visible signs of concern, such as a leaning trunk, split bark, or a removal in progress. A close-up of a crew member inspecting a tree at the base or in the canopy also works well. Avoid generic stock images of falling trees.
