Have you noticed a few questionable trees around your property lately? Maybe some branches are hanging precariously over your roof or brushed up against a power line during the last storm. Perhaps a tree looks less vibrant than your other landscaping. While you don't want to remove a tree without good reason, several signs indicate you need to call a professional tree removal company. Let's take a look at a few.

Tree Appearance Is Changing

If you observe bare branches in the summer or unusual thinning of leaves, then your tree may be distressed, diseased, or dying. An arborist from a tree removal company can assess what is plaguing the tree and whether treatment or removal is the best option. Additionally, trees naturally grow upright. If you spot a tree leaning sharply or tilting to one side, then the shifting ground or soil could cause it to fall where you don’t want it to go. This is another case where a tree removal company should evaluate and take action.

Tree Location Interferes With Daily Life

While trees beautify landscapes, they sometimes end up in inconvenient locations. If a tree on your property makes accessing your driveway a tight squeeze every day or keeps depositing leaves, pods, and flowers where you walk, preventing full use and enjoyment of that space, then turn to tree removal experts. Likewise, if branches hang over places you frequent, then it's smart to call a professional tree removal company rather than trying to prune them yourself around high-voltage wires.

Tree Sustains Damage After a Storm

Mother Nature can thrust intense weather upon us unexpectedly. Storms that bring heavy winds, snow, ice, and rain can damage trees in ways that appear subtle at first but worsen over time. For example, what seems like a small crack could turn into a full split down the center of the trunk. If you have trees that sustained damage during a storm and now seem weakened, unstable, or possess an increased fall risk, then don’t wait to call a tree removal company. The sooner hazardous trees are taken down following storms, the safer your property will be.

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, you can increase your property value by as much as 20% by landscaping. Having a damaged, dead, or dying tree can decrease values. While saying goodbye to a beloved tree is difficult, there are times when their removal is unavoidable. Delays could cause preventable destruction. If you notice any of the warning signs described, then schedule an appointment with us to evaluate your tree. If needed, we can then remove it for you.
