When a dead tree looms over your home, safety and aesthetics clash. Look for brittle branches, trunk cracks, or fungal growth at the base—these are SOS signals from nature. If the tree leans after a storm or sheds large limbs, it's time to act. Options include hiring an arborist for removal or grinding the stump, but consider replanting a native species to restore shade and wildlife habitat. Timing matters: tackle it before winter winds or summer storms turn your tree into a hazard.
