A dead tree looks stable right up until it isn't. Decay weakens the trunk and root system from the inside, branches become brittle and prone to sudden failure, and there's often no visible warning before a large limb — or the whole tree — comes down.
We assess dead and dying trees for how they'll come down: whether the wood is solid enough for standard rigging or too decayed to trust, and whether nearby structures mean a crane-assisted or sectioned approach is safer. Standing dead trees are one of the more dangerous removals in the business, which is why experience and the right equipment matter.
Common signs: no leaves during the growing season, brittle branches that snap cleanly instead of bending, peeling or missing bark, fungal growth (like conks) at the base or trunk, and a hollow sound when tapped. If you're unsure, a quick assessment can confirm it before it becomes urgent.
Often, yes. Decayed wood can fail unpredictably under normal cutting stress, and the tree's structural integrity is harder to judge from the outside. Our crews assess decay carefully and use sectioned, rigged removal rather than a standard fell whenever there's doubt about the wood's strength.
It's worth assessing regardless of location — dead trees can fall in any direction, and their root systems weaken too, making them a hazard even from a distance in high wind.
