Yes. Trees with significant lean (especially recent lean from root failure or wind events) can fail without warning, particularly in saturated soil or under load. Lean alone does not always indicate imminent failure — some trees grew leaning naturally and are stable. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists in Hastings evaluate root condition, lean angle, and trunk integrity to assess actual risk.
Hazardous trees in Hastings have compromised wood that cannot bear normal rigging loads. We use smaller sections, more conservative cuts, frequent crane support, and additional safety personnel. The result is a slower, more deliberate takedown — worth the cost to protect property and people, but more labor-intensive than healthy-tree work.
Standard homeowner policies in Michigan usually do not cover removal of hazardous trees that have not yet failed. They cover removal AFTER the tree falls on a structure. Some policies cover hazardous tree removal if the tree is imminently threatening insured structures. B.
