When to call an Aborist

Trees often grow and change so slowly that it’s hard to notice when something is wrong — until it’s too late. A small issue today can often be fixed with simple pruning, but if left alone, it can turn into a dangerous and costly tree removal later.

At White Hawk Tree Care, our goal isn’t just to cut trees down — it’s to help you understand when action is needed and what solutions are available.

  • Branches hanging low over your roof or driveway

  • Cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs

  • Areas of the tree that look dead or diseased

  • A tree that suddenly leans or shifts after a storm

  • Visible fungus, mushrooms, or decay at the base

  • Thinning leaves or bare sections in the canopy

Signs Your Tree May Need Attention:

A large tree has fallen onto a residential property, damaging part of the gate and patio area. A few children are standing nearby, looking at the scene.
  • Pruning can save a struggling tree. Catching issues early often means the tree can recover and live for years to come.

  • Waiting can create hazards. A dead or unstable tree poses danger to your home, vehicles, and family — and is much riskier (and costlier) to remove.

  • Prevention saves money. Regular checkups and small fixes are always cheaper than full removals after a problem gets out of hand.

Why Early Action Matters

A man wearing sunglasses, a black shirt, and gray pants with reflective stripes is standing on a grassy area near a river, tying a rope to a tree. There are ropes on the ground, a dock on the left, water with a fallen tree branch, and a boat tied to the shore in the background, with green trees and a blue sky.
