Spotting Hazard Trees: Signs to Know Before Something Happens

Post Copy

A hazard tree doesn't announce itself. It might look fine from a distance, but up close, there are warning signs: cracks in the trunk, bark peeling away, large dead branches, leaning or tilting, hollow sections, or visible disease. Any of these signal that a tree could fail in wind or weather.

Hazard trees near your house, driveway, or fence are especially risky. A failure could cause property damage or injury. The best time to deal with a hazard tree is before it fails, not after a storm. A professional assessment identifies problems early and keeps your family safe.
