It depends on the type of tree. You are going to start noticing first of all, branches that start dropping and foliage drop. It's natural for a pine tree when the lower limbs start falling, so don't be alarmed if that happens. The same thing happens with pecan trees, they naturally shed their limbs. Some of your ornamental trees and some of the other trees though, you'll notice a heavy foliage dropping, lots of limbs start to drop, and bark starts cracking.
The best thing to do in that case is to contact an arborist to come out and check it. First of all, they are going to check for insect damage. They are going to check the leaves to make sure that the tree is not being affected by insects. They are going to check the water drainage to make sure that the tree is not staying too wet, and to make sure that you know the rest of your lawn is not draining to that one tree. They will check the trunk to make sure there are no open wounds that may be decaying, but usually that is left to the tree specialist.
