Does Your Tree Need Fixing?
Are you knowledgeable enough to tend to your trees, or should you call a professional? Some preventative tree care techniques are best left to specialists. Arborists diagnose whole trees. Homeowners who repair a tree issue may damage the tree, themselves, or their property. We’ve listed a few major indicators you should call a tree contractor to take care of your tree problem ASAP.
They Are Reaching Power Lines
Leaves, twigs, and branches growing in and through power lines are significant fire hazards and should be reported immediately. This past year, some fires in Northern California were blamed on trees that touched power lines. If someone who isn’t trained tries to trim trees near power lines, they, their neighbors, and the property around them are all at a high risk of fire, injury, or death. When a tree on your property is touching a power line, you should call a professional to eliminate the danger. If you see trees on the city, state, or federal land or on your neighbor’s property that might be a problem, you should report it as soon as possible.
Branches Beginning to Break
Weak branches often break, split, or fall when there are storms or strong winds. It might be tempting to grab a friend and a ladder to help the branch drop, but branches can also cause serious injuries. Many professional tree services offer emergency services and can be at your door in minutes. Don’t try to break off a branch because you could hurt yourself, a friend, your property, or the tree itself.
The Branches Are Scratching Your Windows or Your Exterior Paint
You hear a tap, tap, tap on your window. The branches of your tree are about to break the glass with the next gust of wind. Even though you might want to take a pair of loppers to a branch hanging over your house, we recommend you call a professional. Lousy pruning can lead to more significant tree problems in the future, and falling branches can hurt people, animals, and property very severely. Don’t try to remove a tree’s branch yourself if it is touching or to rest on your house.
