Many property owners do not recognize the signs of danger and should have their properties inspected for liabilities as a result of deteriorating tree conditions.

If you have old trees within 15 feet of your house, you might consider a free email consultation.

Sometimes only part of a tree needs attention. If a large limb is in danger of splitting away, the best solution may be preemptive surgery. Often the tree can be saved by removing only the offending limb and dressing the trunk after removal. But if you allow nature to take its course, the entire tree may split in an unrecoverable manner, or the resultant split repair may be unsightly.

The trick, of course, is not to wait until something bad happens. Chris will inspect any tree and give you some options that you may not have considered. Some trees benefit from supporting structures, or wire guides. Others may only need pruning, or shortening of long limbs.

Damaged trees near houses or streets should be evaluated by an experienced tree expert on a regular basis to ensure the safety of people and property. If a tree is on your property, it is your responsibilty to see that it is not a safety hazard.

Call Chris is you have any doubts or questions about the condition of a tree.

Mrs. Gottring called Chris to remove the old leaning split willow on her property. Upon inspection, Chris found that the roots of this tree were wrapped around the gas line going into the house, and over the years had bent the line to make room for more roots. A further collapse of the tree could breach the gas line. Chris called the local utility company,and they decided to redo the underground pipes as a precaution. In this case, the tree posed a double hazard - an above ground eyesore in danger of collapse, and a below ground hazard that would not have been discovered otherwise.
