Is This Tree Dangerous? - How to Tell If a Tree Near Your House Is Going to Fall, Spot Root and Storm Damage, Compare Arborist and Tree Removal Quotes, and Decide Whether to Prune, Cable or Remove It #1009987

You look at the big tree beside your house every day. Is that lean new? What are those mushrooms at the base? Will the limb over the bedroom come down in the next storm? You post a photo online and get twenty opinions. You call tree services and get quotes from $800 to $4,600 for what sounds like the same job. And you still don't know whether the tree is fine or about to fall. Is This Tree Dangerous? is a plain-English guide for homeowners who need to judge a tree they did not plant and cannot climb. It teaches you to see what arborists look for, sort what you find by urgency, and walk into every conversation with a tree professional knowing what to ask. This is not a tree-identification field guide, a professional arborist manual, or a book about suing your neighbor. It stays on the three questions homeowners actually face: Is my tree likely to fail? Who can I trust to tell me? And should I prune it, cable it, or take it down? Inside, you'll learn: Walk outside with this book and your phone, and trade storm-night dread for a clear, proportionate plan for every tree you own.
