Trees are a beautiful addition to your landscape. They provide shade, lush scenery, and sometimes even bear flowers, nuts, and fruits. While trees usually enhance property value, there are occasions when they need to be removed. Learn more about the situations in which it might be best to cut down your trees, and then call us to handle the heavy lifting.

Overgrown and Interfering

Many trees continue to grow year after year. That tree that once looked great next to the house may now be too close. If trees, especially their roots, grow too near your house, driveway, sidewalk, or other structures, they could cause damage. Roots can push against your home’s foundation or create bumps in the sidewalk. When these trees become a nuisance, it’s often best to just remove them.

Dead or Dying

Dead trees serve no purpose and often look unsightly. Some trees may die off slowly, and there may be no way to save them. Rather than allow them to detract from the beauty of your property, consider having them taken down and planting new ones in their place.

Significant Damage Due to Storms and Wind

High winds can have a serious impact on trees, particularly on their upper limbs. Strong storms can make your tree unstable, leading to weak branches. This weakening can cause limbs to fall unexpectedly, potentially damaging your home, vehicle, or other parts of your property. Falling branches also pose a safety hazard, as they could fall on someone standing under or near the tree.

Diseased

Trees can suffer from diseases like humans. Some can be treated with special care, but some are too advanced or deadly to expect a full recovery. Additionally, untreated diseases can spread to other trees and plants. Removing severely sick trees is usually the best course of action.

Pest Infestations

Pest infestations are another issue that trees may face. Rodents, insects, and other small creatures can inhabit the tree and damage it. This infestation can compromise the tree’s structure, making it unsafe. If the tree is close to your home, the pests might migrate from the tree to the house, causing an even bigger problem. When pests have infested a tree, it is often best to remove that tree entirely.
