4 Reasons To Remove A Tree On Your Property

Trees are a beautiful addition to any yard, but there may come a time when a tree becomes a hazard or a liability. If you have a problem tree in your yard, it is best to have it removed by a professional sooner than later. Some situations where a tree may need to be removed include:

Tree is Dying or Diseased

Unfortunately, there are a number of things that can kill a tree as well as diseases that can decimate different types of trees. If your tree is in poor health, you can try to have a tree professional diagnose it and make recommendations on how to save it. But if it quickly dying and rotting or has an untreatable disease, it should be removed. Some diseases can be spread to other trees, so if you have a sick tree make sure to arrange for its removal before other trees in your yard become infected.

Tree is Causing Structural Damage

A tree may seem to be in a good position when it is first planted, but as it grows its roots may begin to cause structural damage to your property. If you have a tree that is damaging the foundation of your home or threatening your main sewer line it will need to be taken out before extensive and costly damage can occur. You may also need to remove a tree if its roots are damaging a sidewalk, deck, or fence.

Storm Damage

Sometimes strong storms can damage a tree or partially uproot it. When this happens, the tree typically can't be saved. If you have a tree that has been partially uprooted during a storm, make arrangements to have it completely removed as quickly as possibly in order to prevent property damage or injury, since a partially uprooted tree can fall at any time.

Too Close to the House

Having large trees planted too close to the house can be dangerous. Branches from a large tree that is too close to the house can snap off during a storm and damage your roof or the windows of your home. There is also the risk that a large tree next to the house can be knocked down during adverse weather which can cause extensive damage to your home. Talk to a tree removal professional to see if the trees located on your property pose any risk to your home or property.
