Trees can be such a wonderful addition to your yard, adding so much to your life. But when they get too big or too old, they start to pose a risk. They can become diseased, die, and then start to threaten the safety of your property and loved ones. At that point, it’s in your best interest to have them removed. Here are a few examples of some of the dangers that tree removal can save you from:
Falling Branches and Limbs
The biggest and most obvious risk posed by trees is fallings branches and limbs. When tree age or suffer from disease, their branches become more weak and more likely to break off. Storms, winds, or even the weight or snow or ice can cause the branches to come crashing down. This can potentially cause serious damage to your home, vehicles, or even your loved ones. Removing dead or dying trees removes this risk.
Property Damage
Trees that are in poor health or are leaning in a precarious position can pose a major threat to your property. Trees that are overgrown or unstable can damage roofs, gutters, fences, and other structures on your property. In the most severe cases, a falling tree can cause substantial damage to your home or yard, leading to costly repairs. This can all be avoided, however, by removing trees that are in decline or too close to your home.
Pest and Disease Infestation
When trees are dead or dying, they tend to attract more pests and diseases, which can pose a threat to surrounding vegetation. Insects like termites, beetles, and carpenter ants can spread from a compromised tree to your home or other plans. Meanwhile, certain diseases can spready through tree roots or spores, which can have a negative impact on other plants in the yard. Removing infected trees can help prevent these issues from escalating into something larger.
