Aberdeen Homeowners: Spotting a Problem Tree Before It's Too Late

The Risk of Problem Trees in Aberdeen, SD

Living in Aberdeen, we know the weather can turn fast. High winds and heavy snow are common. That means a problem tree isn't just an eyesore; it's a hazard. Dead branches, leaning trunks, or cracks can lead to serious property damage or worse. Ignoring these signs is a gamble no homeowner should take. We see it all the time: a tree that looked fine one day becomes a major emergency the next. Proactive removal or trimming saves headaches and keeps your property safe.

Key Warning Signs You Can't Ignore

How do you know if a tree is a threat? Look for these red flags. Deep cracks in the trunk or major limbs indicate structural weakness. A tree leaning significantly, especially after a storm, is unstable. Dead or decaying branches, particularly those hanging over your house, garage, or power lines, are prime candidates to fall. Also, watch for signs of disease, like unusual growths or missing bark. One customer had large dead branches over their house and shed, worried about them falling in a storm. They knew it was a problem that needed handling.

Tackling Tough Jobs with the Right Equipment

Sometimes, the biggest challenge isn't just the tree, but getting to it. Tight backyard spaces or trees close to structures make for difficult removals. That's where our specialized equipment comes in. Our 87-foot self-propelled aerial lift can navigate through gates as narrow as 36 inches, climb stairs, and maneuver in the tightest spots. This allows us to safely access and remove problem trees that other companies might turn down. We prioritize safety for our crew and your property, especially with these complex jobs.

When we take on a tree removal or trimming project, safety and efficiency are our top priorities. Our team is trained to handle high-risk situations, ensuring the tree comes down without damaging your property. Once the job is done, we don't leave a mess. Customers consistently praise our thorough cleanup, often saying their yard looks better than before we started. We get in, get the job done right, and get out, leaving your property spotless.

Customer review

I would highly recommend Matt's tree service for any of your tree trimming/removal needs. We have a large tree that had numerous dead branches that overhang our house and shed. For the last couple years my wife and I were nervous that during a storm one of those branches would fall through our roof. Our problem was that we didn't think anyone would be able to get into our back yard to trim it. Matt and his team was able to get back there with ease and did an amazing job trimming our tree. We have had several neighbors compliment the job and we even got to keep the bigger logs for firewood!
