Many people use professional landscape services to remove a tree from their property. There are many factors that make it necessary to remove a tree, and some are more important than others. Here are a few you should consider before you find an arborist to help you out.

Risk of Falling

If you have a tree that creates shade over your pool, it might not pose the same problem as one that hangs over your roof. However, if a tree has dead or dying branches, it can soon become a liability during the next period of windy weather. You don't want to risk needing a roof replacement after a particularly bad storm.

Even if you love the trees surrounding your home, it may not always be practical to keep all of them. Healthy trees are a wonderful thing to have, but if they become diseased or die, they'll soon be a liability for your home and your family.

Risk of Encroachment

Similar dangers are present for a tree with roots creeping ever closer to your home's foundation. Trees don't always grow in convenient places and this may be another reason why it's time to call a tree removal service. When a tree blocks sidewalks, walkways to your house, or driveways, they can become a hazard. Trees like this can create cracks in your driveway that are impossible to repair without full removal.

Don't wait until your tree problem is out of control before calling in the professionals. Tree removal can become a bigger project than expected due to roots and branches that have grown out of control. It makes sense to get a professional opinion if you aren't sure if your tree needs to be removed. Tree removal should be left to us at Affordable Tree Care.
