For the most part, trees are typically safe. However, there are times when trees can fall over, drop limbs, house harmful pests or rodents, cause electrocution and create other hazardous conditions. Trees are an important part of our society, and provide significant benefits to the Boca Raton environment, but they must be properly maintained and potential threats identified quickly, to prevent harm to people or damage to Boca Raton property.

As a property owner, there are times when you can be liable for harm or damage caused by trees. With the information on this page, we hope to help you identify some of the common tree hazards you should be aware of. Use this list to check your trees at least once per month, and more often during stormy weather. Once you have identified any anomalies, it is a good idea to contact a Professional Palm Beach County Tree Service to evaluate the seriousness of the defect.
