Your home is often your safe space that you care for, clean and want to look nice. The great thing is that you can make changes as you please and update the look and the feel with a few minor tweaks. The house is one part of your property and the surrounding shrubs, trees and plants is the other. You want to make sure you are aware of the trees that are around your house and that have the potential to fall on the home. This might be the trees that are on your property or the property that is surrounding yours. The trees should be cared for and taken care of so that they do not become a hazard. If they are not watered correctly, trimmed, pruned and maintained they can have shallow roots or disease that goes unnoticed. When a bad storm rolls in there is always a potential that the tree can come down. If you hear a crash and realize that a tree has come down it is important to react the right way.
