A tree that starts leaning after a summer storm does not always need to come down. In many cases, the root system is still sound and the lean is caused by a weak union or a heavy lateral limb pulling the canopy off balance.
Bear Creek's certified arborists assess root plate movement, trunk condition, and limb structure before recommending a course of action. When the tree is structurally sound, cabling and bracing can redistribute the weight and stabilize the canopy for years to come.
Removal is the right call when the roots have lifted or the trunk is compromised, but it should never be the default answer. A proper assessment protects both the tree and your property, and it often saves homeowners the cost of removal and replanting.
