4 Indications that a Big Tree Is Dying & Needs Professional Removal

by Canyon Falls Tree Works • 14 August 2025
When a large tree begins to die, it can quickly shift from an attractive property feature to a serious safety risk. Dying trees are often structurally unstable, making them more likely to drop heavy limbs or fall entirely, especially during storms or high winds. If you suspect a big tree on your property is in decline, it's important to recognize the warning signs and hire a professional arborist to assess and remove it if necessary. At Canyon Falls Tree Works, we provide expert tree removal in the greater Rapid City area. Here are four signs that a big tree is dying and should be removed for safety purposes. Large Dead Branches One of the most noticeable signs of a dying tree is the presence of large, dead branches—especially those located in the upper canopy. These limbs are dry, brittle, and prone to snapping off without warning. Dead branches may no longer produce leaves during the growing season and can become dangerous as they deteriorate. A tree with several dead or dying limbs is often in decline and needs expert evaluation to determine if it can be saved or should be removed. Bark That’s Falling Off or Peeling Away Bark serves as the tree’s protective layer, and when it begins to fall off in large patches or peel away without regrowing, it may be a sign that the tree is no longer healthy. This condition can expose the inner wood to pests, disease, and weather damage. In severe cases, large sections of missing bark are a clear indication that the tree is in serious trouble and could pose a hazard. Fungus at the Base of the Tree Fungal growth near the base of a tree or along its trunk often signal internal decay. While not all fungi are necessarily harmful, certain types feed on decomposing wood and indicate that the tree is rotting from the inside out. A decaying core significantly weakens a tree’s structural integrity, making it more likely to fall without warning. Sudden or Severe Leaning If a big tree suddenly begins to lean or has developed a pronounced tilt, especially with visible lifting of the roots or cracked soil at the base, it’s a major red flag. Trees can lean slightly without issue, but a new or worsening lean often indicates a compromised root system, which can lead to a catastrophic fall.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Tree for Your Rapid City Property

by Canyon Falls Tree Works • 12 July 2025
Planting a new tree on your Rapid City property is a great way to improve curb appeal and enjoy long-term benefits like shade, privacy, and seasonal beauty. However, the Black Hills region presents unique challenges when it comes to choosing trees, including a wide range of temperatures, occasional drought, and strong winds. To help ensure your new tree thrives for years to come, it’s important to make a thoughtful selection. At Canyon Falls Tree Works, we provide expert tree planting services in the greater Rapid City area. Here are five tips to help you choose the right tree for your Rapid City property. Take Local Climate Conditions Into Account Rapid City experiences all four seasons, including cold winters and hot, dry summers. Choosing a tree that can withstand these fluctuations is essential. Look for species that are hardy in the area and can handle occasional drought and windy conditions. Native or well-adapted trees often do well in the area and are more likely to thrive with minimal maintenance. Evaluate Your Yard’s Space and Sunlight Before planting, assess how much space you actually have for a mature tree. Some trees grow tall with wide canopies, while others stay compact and narrow. Make sure there’s enough room for roots to expand and branches to grow without crowding buildings, driveways, or power lines. Also, consider the amount of sunlight the planting spot receives throughout the day, as some trees prefer full sun while others do better in partial shade. Understand Soil Type and Drainage The soil across Rapid City properties can vary significantly. It’s a good idea to test your soil’s drainage and pH level before planting. Trees like green ash and linden are more adaptable to different soils, but other species may require specific conditions. Decide on the Tree’s Purpose Think about why you want to plant the tree. Do you want shade over your patio? A burst of color in the fall? Different trees serve different purposes, so narrowing down your goals will make it easier to find the right match. Plan for Long-Term Maintenance All trees require some level of maintenance, but some are more demanding than others. Consider how much time you’re willing to spend pruning, watering, or cleaning up leaves and fruit. Low-maintenance species can be great choices for homeowners who want beauty without a lot of extra work.
