Tips For Deciding When To Remove A Tree

Deciding whether to remove a tree or not is not always an easy decision to make. It is important that you do not make random choices with regard to tree removal. Before calling a tree service for the removal of your trees, you need to give due consideration taking into account all the important factors so that you make an environmentally responsible and safe decision. 

#1. Is your tree dying? At times, it is best to remove dying trees before they fully die and start decaying. Dying trees could prove to be a great risk to people and the properties around as they could fall any time. If you happen to have a dying tree in your yard then you have a very good reason to call a tree removal service. However, not all dying trees pose the danger of falling. You will therefore need to decide based on the condition of the tree under question.

#2 Are your neighbors complaining? Very often trees are removed because of the pressure from the neighbors. Homeowners are forced to remove the trees that are on the periphery of their property to maintain good relationship with the neighbors and to save oneself from unnecessary liability issues. Here again do not make a random choice. Objectively review the situation. If required call a professional tree service and get their opinion whether there is any real danger. Your tree removal company will also be able to provide you with their professional guidance on the alternatives to tree removal. Many a times, the problem could be resolved by strategic pruning of the tree rather than complete removal. The idea here is that no tree should be removed without sufficient reason.

#3. Is maintenance a problem? Maintaining a tree can lead to lot of responsibilities. For example, the dry leaves falling off the tree could lead to maintenance hassles. You need to keep the place swept regularly. This could be both time consuming and expensive. 

#4 Is your tree disturbing the power lines? If your tree happens to be under the power lines and if the gap between the tree and the power lines is very less then it could pose a great danger and you may have to consider removing your tree to avoid unnecessary complications at a later stage. 

#5 Is the tree located in the new construction or does it obstruct any new construction that you are planning? If you are planning for a construction of new building and if you happen to have a tree in the planned construction site then you will be forced to remove the tree. To avoid such scenarios in future, you should plan your space carefully and plant trees taking into account your possible future plans. 

It takes several years for a tree to grow whereas cutting it or removing it completely will take just a few hours. You will therefore need to make responsible decisions. Work with an experienced tree removal service so that they could help you make the right decision and also help you with the tree removal process.
