Trees offer a wide range of benefits, from protection from the sun to enhanced air quality. Given their importance, tree removal is not something which everyone thinks. But you have situations when removal is important for people’s and property’s safety. Here are a few reasons why you should go for tree removal:
Diseased trees
Usually, tree diseases and infections are treatable, especially when diagnosed early. When a disease has spread through the tree or is untreatable, it may weaken with time and get hazardous, working out best to be removed.
If the tree is diseased or infested, you will notice a change in its appearance, like how the leaf looks or the bark comes out. Sometimes the color of the foliage also changes. Hence, fixing an appointment with an arborist and assessing it is recommended.
Woodpeckers and tree health
If you notice woodpeckers sitting too much on a tree, it is a sign that there is some decay present, and you should contact an arborist for a consultation.
Woodpeckers like feeding on trees with insects; you will often find them on damaged trees. It is majorly a sign of pest infection within a tree.
Damaged trees
Several reasons can damage a tree, including:
- Age of the tree
- Weather
- Bad pruning
- Big wounds
- Pests, infestation, and diseases
If a big part of the tree has been damaged, majorly in the trunk, it gets irreparable and can cause toxic decay. Hazardous trees threaten the surrounding areas as they can fall and damage the home structure. So, as soon as you notice damage to a tree, you must schedule a consultation with an arborist to assess the tree and carry out the tree removal process.
Dead tree removal
Trees that have died threaten the surrounding area and attract pests. Because of their weakened structure, it gets unstable, so it is suggested to remove them as soon as possible.
Bad location
Usually, every tree is planted at the right location for lightning and nutrients, providing sufficient space to grow. But too often, trees are planted in places where they cannot grow properly because they are too close to power lines and buildings. Sometimes the root hinders the sewer lines. When the tree’s location is incorrect, removal is the only option to keep the people and surrounding area safe.
Tree removal for construction
If you’re looking forward to expanding your property or you wish to create another living space, you may consider tree removal to get sufficient space. The tree may not be dangerous here, but it simply stands in the path of your construction and should be removed to use the area.
Messy
Some trees, such as cottonwood or black walnut tree, produce a lot of mess, such as dropping seeds, nuts and leaves. Cleaning up and maintenance may be tough which calls for their removal.
So, if you have a tree on your property which you want to remove, then hire an arborist to suggest the best plan for it.
