Remove dead or dying trees immediately. Signs include missing bark, dead branches, mushrooms at the base, or hollow trunks, indicating potential for unexpected falls. Structural issues also warrant removal, such as significant leaning, large trunk cracks, or root damage from construction. In Central Islip’s wind-prone environment, structurally compromised trees are particularly hazardous. Location is also a factor; trees too close to your house, interfering with power lines, or with roots damaging your foundation may need removal even if healthy. We assess your situation to recommend the best course of action, whether removal, trimming, or other treatment.
