Tree Risk FAQs: Melissa, TX
What are the signs a tree is dangerous?
The biggest red flags are a new or worsening lean, large dead branches, cracks or cavities in the trunk, mushrooms or fungus growing at the base (which can signal root decay), and major root damage from construction or storms.
My tree is leaning. Will it fall?
Not necessarily. Some trees grow at a natural lean and are stable. But a lean that is new, increasing, or showed up after a storm is a serious warning sign. Only an on-site assessment can judge the real risk, so do not wait on a new lean.
Who do I call about a dangerous tree in Melissa, TX?
Call Melissa Tree Service at (469) 545-0844 for a free on-site assessment, or send photos of the tree through our storm damage form. If the tree is touching a power line, call your utility company first.
Can a dangerous tree be saved, or does it have to come down?
Sometimes it can be saved. Corrective pruning, cabling, or deadwood removal can reduce risk while keeping the tree. But a split trunk, lifted root plate, or advanced decay usually means removal is the safe choice. An honest on-site assessment will tell you which.
