7 Signs Your Trees May Need Professional Maintenance
Trees can look healthy from a distance while developing maintenance issues that aren’t immediately obvious.
Regular attention can help property owners identify problems and manage trees before they become more difficult to deal with.
Here are seven signs that your trees may need professional maintenance.
1. Dead Branches
Dead branches can become weak and may eventually fall.
Large dead branches should be professionally assessed, particularly when they are located above frequently used areas.
2. Broken Branches
Branches can become damaged by storms, wind or other environmental factors.
Broken or hanging branches may require professional removal.
3. Excessive Growth
Trees can eventually grow beyond the space available to them.
Branches may extend toward buildings, fences, driveways or neighbouring properties.
4. Dense Canopy
An excessively dense canopy may require professional assessment to determine whether selective pruning or canopy reduction is appropriate.
5. Storm Damage
After severe weather, trees should be checked for broken branches and other visible damage.
Some damage may not be immediately obvious from ground level.
6. Branches Near Structures
Branches growing close to roofs, buildings, fences or other structures may eventually create clearance problems.
Professional pruning can help manage problematic growth where appropriate.
7. Overgrown Hedges
Trees aren’t the only plants that require maintenance. Overgrown hedges can also make gardens look untidy and may block pathways or windows.
Professional hedging can help restore a neat appearance.
