With a strong El Niño developing this winter, homeowners should take a closer look at the trees around their properties.
After extended dry conditions, heavy rainfall can saturate the soil and put additional stress on trees with existing root problems, structural weaknesses, or heavy overextended limbs.
Don't wait until a tree is leaning toward your home or a large limb comes crashing down. If you have concerns about a tree, now is a good time to have it evaluated.
