Tree Removal -- Precaution or a Part of Cleanup

There are many reasons to prune, trim, and cut down the overgrown or dying foliage and branches in your yard but none more important than safety. Tree removal can become the last resort for individuals and families who have experienced storm damage, the aging or decay of the towering plant.

Depending upon the height and girth, it can cause a significant amount of damage to your yard, fencing, and home construction materials. This damage can occur as the result of a lack of knowledge of maintenance, as the result of a strong storm that causes structural failure within the truck or large branches, or its growth is pressing into or breaking your home's building materials such as your roofing materials. No matter what the cause, it is often in the best interest of yard use and home structure safety to take out some or all of the large plant life that present the potential for further damage in the near future.

On one hand, tree removal can be necessary as a result of structural plant damage. This is when it begins to collapse from the trunk end of large branches or from within the trunk has ended up in this predicament for one of three likely reasons. It may have been struck by lightning in a severe storm. Yet, when it is already weakened a strong breeze can begin to take it down; that is, a plant disease or bug infestation rot can facilitate a brittle and collapsing appearance. This is particularly dangerous when you have very old, tall trees on your property and they are located near your home, fencing, gazebo, or other structures where you or your children frequent. Disease and decay requires professional tree removal in order to regain safe use of your entire yard as well as protect the structure of your home's roofing and other construction materials that keep everyone protected indoors.

On the other hand, tree removal can become a necessity for more than your existing property. When the plants on your property have begun to intrude upon your neighbors fencing, roofing, sunlight access, or cleanliness of their yard space, you are liable for the taking away the branches or entire plant that is causing the problem. In addition, a plant or multiple plants can obstruct your own home renovation project(s). Regardless of the health, positioning, or reasoning for taking away portions or all of a particular plant on your property, maintenance of your yard and removal of root and branch obstruction is a benefit of cutting back a lot or a little.
