Why You Shouldn’t DIY Hazardous Tree Removal

Frequently Asked Questions

How to determine if a tree is hazardous?

A tree is hazardous when it possesses a structural defect and is within striking distance of a “target” such as a person, home, or vehicle. You determine this by checking for dead branches, deep cracks in the trunk, and fungal growth at the base which indicates internal rot.

Removal is necessary when more than 50% of the tree is damaged or diseased because it rarely recovers its structural integrity beyond that point. You should also remove it if the main trunk is hollowed out by more than one-third or if its roots are causing foundation damage.

A hazardous tree is defined by the combination of a physical flaw and a potential target. A rotten tree in the middle of a remote forest is not a hazard, but a rotten tree next to a public sidewalk is a high-priority risk.

A dead tree eventually loses its structural strength and will fall during high winds or heavy rain. Beyond the physical risk, it becomes a major attractant for wood-boring pests like termites and carpenter ants which may eventually migrate to your home.

Worry when you see a sudden change in the tree’s lean or if you notice large cavities forming in the main stem. If the leaves on only one side of the tree turn brown or fall off prematurely it often indicates a serious root or vascular problem.

A hollow tree often has visible cavities or “bleeding” sap from the trunk and may sound empty when struck with a mallet. Rot is often signaled by the presence of mushrooms at the base or bark that peels away easily to reveal soft damp wood underneath.

You should consider removal if the tree has large dead branches in the upper canopy that cannot be safely pruned or if it has “included bark” where two stems grow into each other. If the tree is a non-native invasive species that is also leaning it is often better to replace it.
