How to Know When a Tree Should be Removed

10/23/2018

​There are many benefits associated with having a tree on your property. It provides much-needed shade, aids in water drainage and maintaining soil integrity, and can also be very attractive. However, there are some scenarios in which a tree must be removed from your property. Before choosing a tree removal service, here are some ways to know if a tree should be a candidate for removal. 
​

Location of the Tree

​The location of a tree is an important consideration when determining if a tree should be removed. If a tree is growing extremely close to your property or other neighboring structures, you might need to consider removing it already. The damage that a fallen tree or branch can cause is devastating. Also, the roots of a tree too close to buildings can penetrate on foundations, causing massive damage to properties.   
​

Position of the Branches

The placement of a plant’s branches is a factor to consider when determining if a plant should be taken down. If the plant’s branches are constantly growing too close to dangerous places such as power lines, it might be time to remove the plant for good instead of resorting to periodic trimming. The damages that the branches can cause in the event of a natural disaster should also be assessed. 
​

Signs of Disease

You should opt for tree removal services when the tree has become diseased and cannot be treated anymore. Diseased trees are at risk for falling down because their structural integrity is already compromised. They can also become a breeding ground for pests, as diseased trees provide a potentially fertile site for both pest animals and plants to grow in. A diseased tree may show signs in its trunk, branches, leaves, and roots.  
​

Risk of Falling

​A tree should be removed if it shows an increased risk of being taken down by an incident such as strong winds. Aside from checking the tree for signs of disease and its proximity to neighboring structures, there are other factors to consider for checking a tree’s fall risk. A tree growing at an awkward position or a tree growing in compromised position are at a higher risk of being uprooted by a storm or falling unexpectedly.
