Is My Tree Dangerous? Send a Photo and Find Out
Take one photo of the whole tree and one of the base, send it over, and a Spokane crew that removes hazard trees for a living will tell you straight: remove it, prune it, or leave it alone. No cost, no pressure, and we will say "leave it" when that is the honest answer.

Six Things We Look At First
Is it leaning — and did the lean change?
A new or increasing lean means the root plate is moving. Look for cracked, heaved, or mounded soil on the side opposite the lean. That is root failure, and it does not reverse.
Are there mushrooms or conks at the base?
Fungal fruiting bodies on the root flare or lower trunk mean decay is already established inside the wood. The tree can look full and green and still be hollow where it matters.
Is there a vertical crack or open seam in the trunk?
A seam that runs with the grain, especially one that opens and closes as the tree moves in wind, is a structural failure in progress. Trees with these fail at the crack, not at the ground.
Is the top dead while the rest is green?
Crown dieback from the top down usually points to root damage, drought stress, or beetle activity. In Spokane's Ponderosa pines this pattern often shows up a season before larger failures.
Are large dead limbs hanging in the canopy?
Suspended deadwood falls on calm days as often as windy ones. If those limbs hang over a roof, driveway, deck, or play area, that is the hazard — and it is often fixable by pruning instead of removal.
What would it hit?
Risk is hazard times target. The same dead pine in an open field and above a bedroom are two completely different jobs, and only one of them is urgent.
