Most garden owners pay good attention to garden maintenance and waste removal. However, many people tend to overlook their trees. This can be a big mistake as overgrown trees can be hazardous to homes.
As the owner of 4 Waste Removals, a company that specialises in garden waste removal in Brisbane, I’ve seen plenty of homes that have been damaged due to overgrown trees. Today, I’ll outline some of the tell-tale signs that a tree is dangerous. If you spot any of these signs, make sure you eliminate threats before they occur. And of course, take advantage of our garden waste removal service to remove the tree once it has been brought down.
1. Trees with multiple trunks
If any of your trees have multiple trunks, get rid of the tree immediately. This is because trees with multiple trunks face the risk of splitting right at the point of attachment. Given the weight of a tree, splitting trunks can cause a tree to fall suddenly.
2. Leaning or shifting trees
It is natural for trees to lean on one side and not all leaning trees face the risk of falling. However, if you notice that your trees have suddenly started leaning or shifting, it is a sign of danger. Trees start leaning abruptly because their roots can’t hold up the massive weight. It is only a matter of time before such trees fall, so make sure to remove any leaning or shifting trees from your garden before a hazard occurs.
3. Branches drop for no apparent reason
Tree branches may fall due to a storm or strong winds. But, if you notice that branches are dropping for no apparent reason, it is a sign of concern. Trees that drop branches are often decaying at the site of breakage. This decay can spread to other parts of the tree and cause it to fall completely. Make sure to get such decaying trees removed from your garden.
4. Rotten or decayed base
If you notice that the base of your trees is rotten or decayed, it is a big warning sign. Decayed and rotten bases can be caused because of waterlogging problems or because of insects. Such trees are always at the risk of falling and you must get them removed immediately.
5. Deformations on tree trunks
Deformations or bulges can be seen quite commonly on tree trunks. However, large deformations can cause improper stress on a tree and weakens the trunk. Deformations and bulges can easily become a point of failure and cause trees to break. If you notice any large deformations or bulges in your garden trees, make sure to remove the trees as soon as you can.
