Trees are a beautiful and valuable part of any property, but like every living thing, they require care and attention to stay healthy. While trees may seem self-sufficient, regular inspections by professionals can make all the difference in preventing potential hazards, disease, or structural issues. At Promier Landscapes, our certified tree care team specializes in helping property owners throughout Kingsport, Johnson City, and Bristol keep their landscapes safe and thriving.
So how do you know when it’s time for a tree inspection? Here are some key signs to look for.
1. Visible Damage or Dead Branches
If you notice large dead limbs, cracked bark, or fallen branches, it’s time to take a closer look. These signs could point to internal decay, disease, or storm damage that may not be immediately obvious. Weak or broken limbs can also pose a serious safety risk, especially during storms or high winds.
2. Leaning or Unstable Trees
While some trees naturally lean, a sudden shift in posture or a noticeable tilt can indicate root issues or an unstable trunk. Trees growing too close to structures or power lines should always be evaluated for safety. Our tree experts at Promier Landscapes can assess the risk and recommend the right solution—whether it's support cabling, trimming, or, in some cases, removal.
3. Signs of Disease or Pest Infestation
Discolored leaves, unusual growths, and oozing sap can all be symptoms of disease or infestation. Early detection through routine tree inspections can prevent the spread to other trees and potentially save the affected one. Our team is trained to identify these issues and suggest environmentally safe treatment options.
4. Fungal Growth at the Base
Mushrooms or fungal growth near the roots can signal internal rot or a compromised root system. This kind of structural weakness may not be visible above ground but can lead to sudden tree failure if left unchecked. A professional inspection can uncover the extent of the damage and determine if the tree can be saved.
5. Seasonal Maintenance Needs
Even healthy trees benefit from seasonal inspections. Pruning, trimming, and root zone evaluation help promote strong growth and prevent overcrowding. Whether you're managing a residential backyard or a commercial landscape, routine checkups ensure your trees stay healthy and visually appealing year-round.
