As the leaves start changing colors and the weather cools, many homeowners are busy prepping for the holidays. However, sometimes the health of our trees is forgotten.
Dead or dying trees may not seem like an urgent issue in the fall, but it can quickly become a serious hazard once winter begins. At Green Pine Tree Services, we can help you understand the risks, and how to take action, before it’s too late and on time for safe holidays.
Dead Trees Will Fall
Dead trees will become less structurally dependent over time. Wood becomes dry; this makes it unable to support the overall weight of the trunk and branches. Especially during wind, rain, frost, or even snow.
What looks harmless can be a serious problem. Anything such as a storm or heavy rain can trigger a dead tree in minutes. In Texas, we know weather is unpredictable. Fall storms and cold fronts can bring winds and strong breezes enough to trigger unstable trees or snap off weak branches. Falling tree limbs can cause major property damage, and can even injure people or our pets.
Damage to your Home, Car & Power Lines
If you think you have a dead tree, please contact Green Pine Tree Services for a further evaluation. If a dead tree is located near your house, garage, driveway or anywhere close it can cause potential damage, the risk increases. A tree falling the wrong direction can cause damage on a roof, vehicles, and even power lines. Proactive maintenance is the best smart financial decision a homeowner can do.
Pests & Diseases
A dead tree can be home to many pests. Pests such as termites, ants, beetles and other insects are drawn to rotting wood. It only takes one tree to attract more pests and insects to your healthy nearby trees, and before you know it, even infest your home.
Deadly trees can also commence fungal growths or diseases that can easily spread to other healthy trees in your yard.
Easy & Safe To Remove danger
Fall is the ideal season to take care of a dead or dying tree, Cooler temperatures make it easier to spot structural issues or signs of tree decay. Removing a tree before winter is also ideal and can prevent complications of a frozen ground, ice branches, or even emergency services.
