The Hidden Risks of Neglected Trees
- Structural failure & limb drop: Weak branches or cracks can lead to falling limbs during storms—posing danger to people, property, or vehicles.
- Disease spread: Pests or fungal pathogens left untreated can spread to other trees or plants on your property.
- Root damage: Overcrowded or unhealthy root systems might interfere with foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities.
- Reduced aesthetics & property value: Dead limbs, overgrowth, or dead trees detract from curb appeal and can lower property value.

Tree Care Best Practices & Tips for Homeowners
1. Prune at the right time
Late winter or early spring is best for most deciduous trees. Avoid heavy pruning during active growth.
2. Don’t top your trees
Topping shortens lifespan and weakens regrowth. Use proper crown reduction or thinning instead.
3. Mulch properly
Apply 2–4 inches of mulch around the root zone, but keep it away from the trunk.
4. Water wisely
New trees need consistent watering; mature trees need supplemental deep watering in drought.
5. Monitor your trees
Check for bark splitting, fungal growth, leaning, dead branches, or cavities. Call a pro if you notice issues.
6. Professional inspections
Schedule arborist inspections every few years to protect your property’s most valuable trees.
