Introduction

Trees provide shade, beauty, and value to any property—but when they become hazardous, knowing when to call a professional tree removal service is essential. At Artmire’s Forestry, we’ve been serving Tyler and surrounding Texas communities since 1995 with expert tree removal services designed to keep your property safe and looking its best.

In this blog, we’ll highlight the top signs that indicate it’s time to remove a tree before it becomes a liability.

1. The Tree is Dead or Dying

Dead trees can pose a serious risk to your home, driveway, and power lines. Without leaves, dead trees may also attract pests or fungi.

Signs of a dying tree include:

• Brittle branches that break easily

• Cracked or peeling bark

• No leaves during growing season

If you notice any of these, contact Artmire’s Forestry for a safe and professional tree removal service.

2. The Tree is Leaning

While some trees naturally grow at a slight angle, a sudden lean may suggest root damage or structural instability. This is especially dangerous after storms or high winds.

Immediate tree removal service may be necessary if:

• The lean increases quickly over time

• Soil around the base appears lifted

• The roots are visibly exposed

3. The Tree Has Large Dead Branches

Large dead limbs—especially those over your home, cars, or pathways—are a serious safety hazard. Tree pruning may not be enough if the tree is extensively damaged.

Let professionals inspect the tree and determine if full removal is required.

4. The Tree is Too Close to Structures

Trees planted too close to your house, garage, or utility lines can cause major issues over time, such as:

• Root damage to foundations

• Branches scraping rooftops

• Interference with electrical wires

Artmire’s Forestry uses specialized equipment to remove such trees safely and cleanly.

5. The Tree is Infected or Infested

Diseased trees can spread infections to nearby healthy trees. Common diseases include oak wilt, root rot, and cankers. Insect infestations from beetles or termites can also compromise the tree’s stability.

Symptoms to look for:

• Discolored or spotted leaves

• Fungal growth around the base

• Sudden thinning or leaf drop

6. The Tree Was Damaged in a Storm

Texas storms can bring heavy winds and lightning, often breaking limbs or splitting tree trunks. If your tree suffered storm damage, immediate inspection is key.

Emergency tree removal service may be required if:

• A tree is cracked down the middle

• Large limbs are hanging loose

• The tree is partially uprooted

Artmire’s Forestry offers 24/7 emergency tree removal services.
