TREE HAZARDS TREE DEFECTS

Recognizing Tree Hazards

HAZARD TREES are trees with parts that are likely to fail, especially during periods of high stress events such as wind and ice storms.

Not all potential hazards and tree problems will be obvious to the untrained eye.

Trees or parts of trees may fall and cause injury to people or damage to property. We call trees in such situations “HAZARDOUS“. Regular tree care will help identify hazardous trees and the risk they present.

Once the hazard is recognized, steps may be taken to reduce the likelihood of the tree falling and injuring someone.

More severly damaged trees will need pruning and even additional support such as cables or braces.

A Certified Arborist is a specialist in the care of trees.

Certified Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees, and are trained and equipped to provide proper care.
