Trees are beautiful, but they can also become a hazard or eyesore if not properly maintained. Knowing when to call a tree expert can save you time, money, and stress. If you live in the Greater Columbus area, keep an eye out for these signs that it’s time to contact AMCO Tree Services.
1. Dead or Dying Branches
If limbs are brittle, leafless during the growing season, or visibly decaying, it’s time for pruning or removal. Dead branches can fall anytime and damage property.
2. Leaning or Shifting Trees
A sudden lean or ground heaving near the trunk can indicate root damage or instability. A strong wind or heavy storm could bring it down fast.
3. Power Line Proximity
Branches growing near overhead lines are dangerous. Even a slight touch in the wind can spark electrical hazards or cause outages.
4. Insect Infestation or Disease
If bark is falling off, sap is oozing, or you notice strange growths or holes in the trunk, your tree may be sick. Early intervention can save it or prevent the spread.
5. Overgrown Canopy
An overly dense canopy blocks sunlight, weakens branches, and prevents airflow. It’s also more likely to catch wind like a sail and snap during storms.
