5 Signs It's Time to Remove a Tree

Not all trees are meant to stay. While we love the beauty and benefits trees bring, sometimes they become more of a hazard than a help. If you’re unsure whether a tree on your property needs to go, here are five common signs it’s time to call LS Trees for a professional evaluation.

1. The tree is leaning A sudden or severe lean is often a red flag. It may indicate root damage or structural instability—especially if the lean is recent.

2. Visible signs of disease or decay Mushrooms, hollow trunks, dead branches, or peeling bark can all signal internal damage that may not be fixable.

3. It’s too close to your home or power lines Trees that grow too close to structures or utilities can cause costly damage and become dangerous in high winds or storms.

4. The tree hasn’t bounced back after a storm If your tree lost large limbs or shows signs of stress after recent weather events, it may be too damaged to recover.

5. It’s impacting other plants or trees Overcrowding can reduce sunlight, water, and nutrients for surrounding greenery, causing your entire landscape to suffer.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best not to wait. At LS Trees, we offer safe, professional tree removal in Cumming and across North Georgia. Our team can assess your tree’s condition and walk you through your options with honesty and care.
