When a Tree on Your Property Should Be Taken Down

 

Should it seem like you have a tree that needs to come down, you need to think about moving fast, it is a good idea to get the opinion of an expert to confirm whether or not it should be removed and then the next step can be taken. Any tree that is not stable could fall down. It can put your house and personal safety at risk.

Should a Dead Tree Be Removed?

 

If you have a tree that is completely dead then the answer is yes. It is a good idea to make arrangements so that the tree can be taken down quickly.

If a tree is mature, it can be a large, hefty object. For example, a singular post oak tree might weigh up to 4,400 lbs.

This means that if it came down, there would be a ton of damage to your home, your neighbor’s home, and anything that is on the property in the surrounding area.

There could also be the potential issue of having to pay for your damage out of pocket if this is not an expense that is covered by your homeowner’s insurance.

To make a long story short, if you have a tree that is dead, it is crucial that you mitigate any risk before it turns into a dangerous situation.

By the same token, if you are not sure that the tree is completely dead, you should think about having a certified arborist take a look at it to form a diagnosis.

Even if a tree looks dead to you, there could be methods that an arborist would know about that could save the tree.

 

What About Painting or Decorating a Dead Tree?

 

If there is the possibility that the tree could fall and damage your home or any objects nearby, you have to have it removed.

 

If you have a tree that is isolated, you can decorate it or paint it. However, for the sake of safety, we recommend that you save some of the dead branches for decorating and then removing the tree.

It can be difficult to tell how long it would take a dead tree to fall, so it is never a good idea to wait too long to find out. This is a timeframe that could be days or it could take a dead tree year to fall.

Some trees may even seem healthy yet fall during a storm.

It is better to be safe than sorry and have any potentially dead or dying tree completely removed.
