How far can a tree lean before it falls over? Your tree might remain stable until it reaches a 15-degree angle, but waiting until this happens is dangerous. People in the tree's path can get seriously hurt, so call an arborist before this happens.
All it takes is a few strong winds to knock over your tree or make it lean even further to one side. If lightning strikes, it's also at risk of falling over from internal damage that will usually worsen over time.
A tree's age and health may also impact its chances of falling. Working with an arborist for tree care maintenance and inspections will help this issue become less of a surprise. These professionals can bring tree problems of all sizes to book before they become irreversible.
The Dangers of Neglecting a Leaning Tree
Having healthy and mature trees on your property can boost its curb appeal and property value. On the other hand, leaning trees are a serious problem that no home buyer wants to handle. Trees can do more harm than just falling; they take up a lot of room when they fall over and potentially land on cars, houses, and even people.
A leaning tree that falls can block a street or driveway. Fallen trees also frequently contribute to expensive damage that insurance might not want to cover. Taking action ahead of time is key for safety and cost savings, so don’t delay in calling a professional like Top Tier Trees in Marietta, Georgia.
If you’re wondering about the cost of the tree care solutions you’ll find, put your mind at ease. Besides, paying for expensive damages will be far more of a commitment than proactive tree services if your leaning tree decides to fall over. Taking preventative measures and caring for your tree can prevent a disastrous (and expensive!) situation.

SINGAPORE - 17 FEB 2026: A fallen 6 -year-old yellow frangipani tree which is top heavy has been PROPPED UP using ROPES to anchor the tree to the back gates. The ropes are wound around the upper half of the branches. Image is taken using the Honor Magic7 Pro smartphone.
The tree appears to be top heavy. May need to trim away the right top half. It was grown in a pot six years ago. It outgrew the pot and hence the tree is seen so near the back wall.
My images of the beautiful yellow frangipanis on 17 Feb 2026 are:
