Recognizing Tree Hazards |
Trees provide significant benefits to our homes and cities, but when they fall and injure people
and damage property, they are liabilities. Taking care of tree hazards makes your property safer
and prolongs the life of your trees.
The advise of a professional tree care practitioner, cannot only make your property safer but
can increase the long-term value of your property. Remember that the wrong advise and the
application of incorrect pruning methods can lead to a myriad of tree complications that can cost
you a fortune in the future.
Examples of defects present in urban trees:
- Re growth from topping, line clearance or other pruning.
- Electrical line adjacent to tree.
- Broken or partially attached branch.
- Open cavity in trunk or branch.
- Dead or dying branches.
- Branches arise at one point on the trunk.
- Decay and rot present in old wounds.
- Recent change in grade, soil level or other construction.
