Safety First

by Day Tree Service Inc. on 03/17/11

Trees are an important asset to our homes, our cities, and our environment.  They offer us beauty, oxygen, shelter, and shade.

But when trees, or their branches fall, they can become a liability.  Trees can cause injury and damage, and taking care of our trees is essential.  Proper maintenance will minimize hazards, ensuring the safety of your property and prolonging the life of your trees.

Having your trees evaluated by a professional will help you to identify hazards and minimize the risk they may present so that the proper steps can be taken to reduce these risks.

There are some things you may want to look for when faced with deciding whether to call a professional.

-Does the tree have any visible rotten wood or cavities?

- Have branches fallen from the tree?

-Does the tree have any splits or cracks in the trunk or branches?

-Are there many branches arising from the same point on the tree?

- Have the roots been damaged due to a change in the environment surrounding the tree?

-Have any nearby trees fallen or recently died?

If you can answer yes to any of the above questions, or if you are unsure and would like to have your tree evaluated, please contact us for a free estimate.
