Hazardous Tree Assessment
The most useful way to analyze the health of trees is to have experienced personnel do a visual inspection where sick trees can be easily inspected. In some cases, a sick or damaged tree may not need to be removed. DLI Tree Experts have the technology and skilled personnel to determine if your tree can be saved. Special equipment can measure factors that impact survival rates including the hollowness of a tree.

Tree Pruning
Pruning is the process of removing select branches from a tree. Pruning is done for a number of reasons including to make the tree safer, healthier and more attractive or to improve your view. Pruning improves the health and appearance of trees, prolonging their useful life by removing undesirable branches, whether they are dead, weakened, diseased or insect-infested. |
Depending on your goals, a number of pruning options are available:
|
Thinning
Maintains the tree's natural shape but removes foliage throughout. A good option for improving your view without sacrificing your trees.
|
Skirting
Removes the lower limbs of the tree. Also a good choice for enhancing views.
|
Windowing
Removes branches to form a window, thus improving the view.
|
Crown Reduction
A specialized pruning technique frequently performed on large trees, especially dense pine trees, located near buildings. Generally not more than a third of the total area is removed in a single operation. The process allows wind to move through the tree, which reduces the chance of tree failure. In addition, more light and air can reach the inner portion of the tree, which reduces needle drop. Overall, crown reduction can make for a healthier, safer, more attractive tree.
|
Crown Cleaning
The removal of problematic branches from the tree's crown including dead, dying, diseased, crowded or dangerous branches. Very little of the live crown is removed.
|
|
Stump Grinding
A quick, clean and efficient way to remove stumps from your landscaping. First the stump is ground down 6 to 8 inches below ground level. Stumps in many instances will last for decades and become very unsightly as they age. Suckers and shoots can continuously become a problem until the stump dies. Grinding the stump allows immediate use of the area where a stump used to be. |
Shrub Pruning
Proper pruning improves the health and appearance of shrubs. It prolongs their useful life by removing undesirable branches, such as dead, weakened, diseased or insect-infested. We know the proper pruning procedures to help promote healthy growth. |
Storm Damage
Storms can rip through an area and leave major damage in their path. Our qualified technicians provide the expertise needed to carefully clear trees, branches and debris to help alleviate further damage to life and property.

Recognizing Tree Hazards |
Trees provide significant benefits to our homes and cities, but when trees fall and injure people or damage property, they are liabilities. Taking care of tree hazards makes your property safer and prolongs the life of the tree.
Trees are an important part of our world. They offer a wide range of benefits to the environment and provide tremendous beauty. However, trees may be dangerous. Trees or parts of trees may fall and cause injury to people or damage to property. We call trees in such situations hazardous, to signify the risk involved with their presence. While every tree has the potential to fall, only a small number actually hit something or someone.
It is an owner’s responsibility to provide for the safety of trees on his or her property. This brochure provides some tips for identifying the common defects associated with tree hazards. However, evaluating the seriousness of these defects is best done by a professional. Regular tree care will help identify hazardous trees and the risk they present. Once the hazard is recognized, steps may be taken to reduce the likelihood of the tree falling and injuring someone.
Hazardous Trees and Utility Lines
Trees that fall into utility lines have additional serious consequences. Not only can they injure people or property near the line, but hitting a line may cause power outages, surges, fires, and other damage. Downed lines still conducting electricity are especially dangerous. A tree with a potential to fall into a utility line is a very serious situation.
Tree Hazard Checklist
Consider these questions when evaluating your trees:
- Are there large dead branches in the tree?
- Are there detached branches hanging in the tree?
- Does the tree have cavities or rotten wood along the trunk or in major branches?
- Are mushrooms present at the base of the tree?
- Are there cracks or splits in the trunk or where branches are attached?
- Have any branches fallen from the tree?
- Have adjacent trees fallen over or died?
- Has the trunk developed a strong lean?
- Do many of the major branches arise from one point on the trunk?
- Have the roots been broken off, injured, or damaged by lowering the soil level, installing pavement, repairing sidewalks, or digging trenches?
- Has the site recently been changed by construction, raising the soil level, or installing lawns?
- Have the leaves prematurely developed an unusual color or size?
- Have trees in adjacent wooded areas been removed?
- Has the tree been topped or otherwise heavily pruned?

Eight Signs of a Sick Tree |
Your trees provide shade, beauty and character to your home and yard. The last thing you want is to cut down a treasured tree that doesn't need to be removed. But a sick tree can be a danger to both your house and your family.
If you suspect that one of your trees is sick or damaged, check to see if it displays any of the following indicators of a tree in trouble:
- Mushroom-type fungi growing at the base of the tree
- Sawdust along the trunk base or root zone
- Cracks in the trunk or major limbs
- Hollow or decayed areas
- Wilted or discolored leaves
- Insect damage
- Dead branches
- Man-made wounds
If you have a sick tree and want it removed, call a reputable insured company like DLI tree experts offering custom removal services that match your needs and budget.
Even if the tree can be saved, it's important to prune dead, diseased or damaged branches promptly. Not only can diseased branches cause further problems with the tree, a large falling branch can cause considerable damage in its own right. |
