A dead tree on your property poses more risks than you might think, especially when it’s over 20 feet tall. Beyond being an eyesore, it’s a potential disaster waiting to happen. These trees are heavy, and if they fall, they can cause severe damage to your home’s roof, exterior, fence, and landscaping. Even worse, heavy branches can unexpectedly break off, turning an already risky situation into a sudden threat. If the tree dies due to disease, the problem doesn’t end there. The illness that caused the death can spread to nearby healthy trees. Additionally, as the wood decays, it attracts termites and other pests, which can infiltrate your home. A dead tree also poses an increased fire risk, as dried wood is highly flammable.

Their arborists are well-equipped to assess the health of your tree, offer guidance on treatment options, or recommend removal if necessary, ensuring the safety of your property and loved ones.
