Are Your Trees a Liability?

Trees can be one of the most valuable assets of your landscape. Mature trees offer visual appeal as well as needed shade on your property. However, not recognizing a damaged or dying tree could pose a major threat. In fact, a tree that you assume is a luxury may actually be a liability. When a tree falls down, it can not only damage your property, but it can also cause serious injuries to your family, visitors or neighbors. If your tree causes damage to another person or property, you are held responsible. According to OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration), there are over 100 landscape and tree fall fatalities every year.

At Woodburn Landscapes, we want to help you avoid the costly damage and devastating personal injury that a fallen tree can cause. While there is no way to completely prevent a tree from unexpectedly toppling down during a bad storm, there are ways to ensure your trees are as healthy and strong as they can be. Our tree service experts can detect a dying tree and remove it before it causes harm.
