Why Dead Trees Must Come Down Quickly
A dead tree loses structural integrity rapidly - within 1–2 years of death in Georgia's humid climate, wood decay makes the trunk unpredictable under wind load. Dead trees near structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas should be removed as soon as possible. Many homeowner's insurance policies require removal of hazardous trees to maintain coverage.
Identifying a Dead or Dying Tree
Bark peeling away in large sections, no leaf growth in spring, brittle branches that snap rather than bend, fungal growth at the base, or visible decay cavities are all signs a tree may be dead or structurally compromised. A certified arborist can confirm and document the hazard status if needed for insurance purposes.
