Don’t Ignore these Warning Signs a Tree Is at Risk of Blowing Over in Strong Winds

by Elevated Tree Care • 26 September 2026
Strong winds can put significant stress on trees, especially those that are already weakened by disease, structural problems, or root damage. While it’s impossible to predict exactly when a tree will fall, certain warning signs can indicate that a tree may be more vulnerable during a severe windstorm. Recognizing these signs can help you take action before a hazardous tree causes injuries or property damage. At Elevated Tree Care, we provide expert hazardous tree removal in the greater Pittsburgh, PA area. Here are four signs that a tree may be at an increased risk of crashing down in high winds. Leaning Significantly A noticeable lean can indicate that a tree has structural instability, particularly if the lean is new or has become more pronounced over time. A tree leaning toward a house, driveway, road, or other frequently used area can present an especially serious hazard. Strong winds can increase pressure on the tree and potentially cause it to fall. The Trunk Has Splits Large cracks, deep splits, or other significant damage in the trunk can weaken the tree's structure. These problems may become particularly concerning during high winds because the trunk must withstand considerable bending and twisting forces. Cracks should be evaluated by a professional, especially when they are large, spreading, or located where major branches attach to the trunk. The Roots Are Damaged or Exposed A healthy root system provides much of a tree's stability. Construction activity, soil erosion, severe weather, and physical damage can affect the roots and make it harder for the tree to remain firmly anchored. Exposed or damaged roots around the base of a tree can be a warning sign that it may be more susceptible to being blown over. Signs of Decay Decay can weaken the trunk, branches, or roots without always being immediately obvious from the outside. Mushrooms near the base, cavities, soft wood, peeling bark, and extensive dead areas may indicate underlying deterioration. A tree affected by significant decay may be less capable of withstanding strong winds, making professional evaluation especially important.

4 Reasons to Be Proactive About Removing Dead Trees from Your Pittsburgh Property

by Elevated Tree Care • 29 August 2026
When a tree dies, it can quickly become a serious liability. Dead trees weaken over time as decay spreads through the trunk, branches, and root system, increasing the likelihood of failure. Waiting too long to remove a dead tree can result in property damage, safety hazards, and expensive emergency services. Being proactive about dead tree removal protects both your property and the people on it. At Elevated Tree Care, our local ISA-certified arborists can identify dead trees and safely remove them as necessary. Here are four important reasons to remove dead trees before they become a bigger problem. Improve Safety Around Your Property The most important reason to remove a dead tree is to reduce the risk of injury. Dead branches can snap without warning, and weakened trunks are more likely to fall during storms or periods of high wind. If the tree is located near your home, driveway, sidewalks, or patio, it poses an even greater hazard. Removing a dead tree before it fails is crucial for safety. Prevent Costly Property Damage A falling tree or large branch can cause extensive damage to roofs, vehicles, fences, sheds, utility lines, and landscaping. Even if the tree doesn't fall completely, dropping limbs can result in expensive repairs. Proactively removing a hazardous tree is often far less costly than dealing with the aftermath of a tree-related accident. Protect Healthy Trees and Landscaping Dead trees often become breeding grounds for insects such as termites and bark beetles. They may also harbor fungal diseases that can spread to nearby healthy trees and shrubs. Removing a dead tree helps prevent pests and disease from affecting the rest of your landscape. Enhance Curb Appeal A dead tree can make an otherwise attractive property look neglected. Bare limbs, peeling bark, and visible decay detract from your home's overall appearance and may even reduce its perceived value. Removing the tree improves your landscape's appearance and creates an opportunity to plant a healthy replacement tree or redesign the area with new landscaping features.
