Trees that have been damaged are a potential hazard to residents, and it is the Property Manager's or the Homeowners Association Rep's responsibility to call Crabapple LandscapExperts to eliminate danger.
- Tree limbs partially broken by strong winds, ice or even lightning strikes may be hanging above, just waiting to fall on an unsuspecting resident
- Trees with major branches cut out (sometimes the utility companies will chop a tree to clear their power lines) may become weakened
- Upright trees with narrow branch crotch angles are subject to splitting, as is the case after strong winds with Bradford Pears planted in the 80s - 90s
- Insect pests like tent caterpillars or progressive tree diseases such as blight can weaken a tree making it susceptible to further damage, death and toppling
- Construction cuts are sometimes made too near to tree roots and can undermine its support system. Examples are road cuts, paving, curbing, foundation or swimming pool excavation, grade changes or underground utility work
Call Crabapple LandscapExperts to set up routine inspections evaluate your landscape trees before an incident happens, and to correct landscape problems we discover. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
