Reasons for Tree Removal

You have a tree in your yard that you do not know whether to save or remove from your property. You looked into a few companies in your area that offer professional tree removal, but you are not sure if you should call them. It may help to learn common reasons for uprooting and removing trees.


Dead

Depending on the tree you have, it could be near the end of its expected life cycle. Even if your tree should live longer, fire, storms or strong winds may trigger premature death. No matter the reason for your tree nearing the end of its life, remove it from your property, so that you do not have to endure having a deteriorating tree on your property, which comes with its own set of issues to handle.


Disease

Disease is another common reason for tree removal. There are living and non-living causes of tree disease that can wither away at a tree. Know that just because a tree becomes diseased does not automatically mean that you must remove it. If you suspect your tree has a disease, have a tree service professional come out to your house to inspect the tree. Find out what kind of disease your tree has, potential remedies and whether you are better off removing it rather than trying to cure it.


Property Hazard

Large trees often have equally large root systems that may stretch their way underneath your property. Depending on where the roots extend, they may dig their way into a home’s foundation, sewer line or septic tank where they can cause issues. At that point, the only effective remedy may be uprooting the tree and removing it. Doing so may help prevent unnecessary repairs to a home.
