Trees add beauty, shade, and value to your property but sometimes, they can also pose serious risks. Whether it’s a hazardous tree threatening your home or a sick tree that’s struggling to survive, knowing when it’s time to remove a tree is critical for both safety and curb appeal.

At Capasso Landscaping & Tree Removal, we’re not arborists, but we specialize in evaluating potentially dangerous or declining trees to help you make the best decision for your property.

A tree that looks healthy at first glance could actually be weak or rotting on the inside. Severe storms, heavy winds, or even the tree’s own weight can cause branches or the entire tree to come crashing down without warning. By scheduling an evaluation, you’ll know whether your tree is safe to keep or if removal is the best option.

Signs You May Need a Tree Removed

While every situation is unique, here are some common red flags:

• Leaning or unstable posture – A tree that’s tilting more each year may be losing root stability.
• Visible rot or hollow areas – Decay inside the trunk can compromise the entire tree.
• Large dead branches – Dead or broken limbs hanging overhead can fall at any time.
• Cracks or splits in the trunk – These weaken the tree’s structure and increase the risk of collapse.
• Diseased or pest-infested growth – Fungal infections, boring insects, or widespread dieback may indicate the tree can’t recover.
• Storm damage – Lightning strikes, heavy winds, or fallen limbs may leave a tree unsafe.
