How to Know When It’s Time to Call
When it comes to the trees in your yard, you can never be too careful. It might seem like an easy task, but trees are heavy creatures that aren’t as easy to maneuver as you might think. That is why it is always highly encouraged to have a certified arborist from General Tree Service around.
It doesn’t matter how small the issue might seem at first. If you notice the trees in your yard suffering from an injury or growth problems, do not hesitate to call. There are a few other red flags to watch out for as well.
If your trees experience any number of these symptoms, it is time to call in a certified arborist to come and take a look:
- Damaged bark
- Damaged trunk
- Broken branches
- The tree is leaning
- There are mushrooms around the base
