The health and safety of your home’s landscape should always be of the utmost importance. That health and safety all starts with your trees; believe it or not, these are the features of your landscape that are bound to cause the most issues! The biggest problems with trees don’t come during their development, but at the later stages of their lives. If you’ve ever been on the fence about whether or not you should remove a tree from your property, we’ll give you the knowledge to make that decision!
The Tree Is Too Big
While a tree being large isn’t always a bad thing, there are plenty of reasons why a big tree can be dangerous for your property. It may be the healthiest tree on your property, but what happens when that health starts to decline? It toppling over could cause serious damage to your landscape and everything around it. If it’s close to your home or any other features, it could topple onto them and severely damage them! Remove trees like this well before these problems can occur.
There Are Cracks In The Trunk
Inspecting your trees regularly should be a top priority when it comes to maintaining your landscape’s health. When you’re going for a routine inspection on your trees, take a look for any signs of cracks within the main trunk. Horizontal cracks will be a little harder to find, but vertical cracks appear along the sides and are easy to spot. These are generally caused by a failure of the tree to repair a wound. If these get larger, the potential that your tree splits in half - or falls over - only increases.
It’s Roots Are Problematic
You may have planted your tree in the right spot so that it won’t damage your home if it falls, but have you thought about what’s underneath? Your tree’s roots have the potential to be just as problematic as the tree itself! The main issue that your tree's roots can have is where they grow or spread. The roots could get in the way of plumbing or utility lines that can be incredibly costly to work around. Removing your tree will stop these roots from infiltrating areas they shouldn’t be.
