Fall is an important time for tree maintenance because trees need to be ready to endure the harsh winter. Some tree tasks can be managed by homeowners, but some may require professional care. Here are some signs your tree needs professional care:
- Root Damage: Roots are a vital part to the tree, but are often overlooked. Soil upheaval and exposed roots are big signs of root damage. Professionals can evaluate the extent of the damage and fix it.
- Dead Branches: Dead branches are one of the most common and biggest signs that a tree needs professional care. Dead branches can be a safety hazard to people. A professional can remove these branches and evaluate the tree’s overall health.
- Unusual Leaf Drop: While all trees shed their leaves in the fall, if they have a premature or abnormal drop, the tree needs care. A professional can come in and diagnose what could be causing this.
