What to Do If You Have a Hazardous Tree
If you have a tree that may be hazardous, here’s what to do:
1. Keep Your Distance
Stay away from the tree and any hanging branches. A hazardous tree can fall without warning.
2. Call a Professional
Contact a professional tree service for an immediate assessment. Don’t attempt to remove a hazardous tree yourself. For urgent situations, our Emergency Tree Service provides fast response.
3. Document the Tree
Take photos of the tree and any visible damage. This is useful for insurance purposes if the tree falls or needs removal.
4. Secure the Area
If possible, rope off the area around the tree. Keep children and pets away from the hazard.
5. Contact Your Insurance Company
If the tree is threatening a structure, contact your homeowner’s insurance provider to understand your coverage for hazardous tree removal.
Can a Hazardous Tree Be Saved?

Frequently Asked Questions About Hazardous Tree Removal

A tree is considered hazardous when it has structural defects that increase the risk of failure. Common signs include dead limbs, cracks in the trunk, hollow sections, root damage, and a sudden lean.
