Everyone is familiar with trees as most of us have grown up with them around us, be it in the countryside or the town parks. We get asked regularly if a tree is dangerous or 'will it fall?'. All trees die in the end. So common sense is all that is needed much of the time, you might not always need to call us.
However there are times when a tree might look fine but is not. These are the dangerous ones because they might fall when you don't expect. There are signs that qualified tree experts like us will see that you would not. Large trees have to be regularly observed to make sure that they are safe and secure. Any tree can fall whether it is healthy or not, but we can point out hazards to you.
Branches and Limbs, root issues and many more things that we would look for to form an educated judgement. Some biological problems manifest suddenly. A fungal bracket (mushroom like fruiting body) might appear suddenly on the outside of the stem but was destroying your tree inside for years. By the time you have the fungal bracket it is far too late and extremely dangerous but you might not even notice this, we would. There might be bio-mechanical signs and structural defects that would be obvious to us but you would never even know. Maybe you have trees that you just want to know more about, their names and general statistics.
