Trees can serve an important purpose in your yard. However, they can also become nuisances that jeopardize your property’s appearance and safety. Learn why you may need professional tree removal services for your landscape.

Storm Damage

Storms can heavily damage the trees on your property. High winds can knock off branches that then land in your yard. Heavy rain and hail can tear off leaves and bark.

Trees with heavy storm damage look unappealing and pose a hazard to your property’s safety. When they have damage such as splitting, missing branches, or cracking, or they are partially uprooted, hire a professional to remove them safely for you.

Disease

Diseased trees also pose a hazard to the rest of your landscape. Tree-borne diseases compromise a tree’s structural integrity and can spread to nearby healthy trees. They may also attract pests to your property. Some common tree diseases include:

• Powdery mildew
• Tar spot
• Apple scab
• Root rot

Structure Risk

Trees that grow close to or over structures pose a risk to your property. Branches could fall off and land on vehicles or buildings. Likewise, trees with weakened trunks could fall over, damaging property or injuring someone.

Even more, tree roots can grow into and crack structures like building foundations, sidewalks, and sewer lines. Sap can also drip onto your vehicles and ruin the vehicles’ paint and windows.

Obstruction of Natural Light

Overgrown canopies can make the inside of your building darker and prevent light from reaching your landscape. Vegetation in your garden might fail to thrive because it cannot get natural sunlight. When the trees on your property are so thick that they block out light, consider removing a few of them.

Fire Prevention

Old and dying trees may increase the risk of fire on your property. Dried trees catch fire easily during high winds or lightning storms. The fire could then spread to your home or business and other trees on your property. Removing decaying and dried trees is the best way to lower the risk of fire.

Code Violations

Your HOA or local municipality might require you to remove trees for safety or aesthetic reasons. If you receive a notice that you must remove trees on your property, hire a professional service to handle the job promptly.
