When Do You Need Tree Removal?
While we adore trees, there are times when they cannot be saved and must be removed. It is critical to inquire about tree removal as soon as you notice that a tree has died or is on its way out. It can be a heartbreaking moment, especially if you’ve been watching the tree grow, but it may be necessary. It’s all part of the natural cycle.
Of course, not all trees must be completely removed. They can be saved in other times. However, you don’t want to take the risk of thinking your tree just needs a good pruning when it actually needs to be removed.
Consider the following reasons for tree removal:
The Trees Are Sick
The trees may still be alive, but if they are diseased, it may be best to remove them from your property before the disease worsens. Of course, some diseases are simple to treat, but this is not true for all of them. Disease is one of the leading causes of tree death, so why not address the issue now before it worsens? By removing the tree once you’ve determined it’s diseased, you’re preventing further deterioration.
Furthermore, removing a diseased tree as soon as possible helps prevent the disease from spreading to other nearby trees and plants.
The Trees Aren’t in a Good Place
When a tree is planted too close to your home, office, or building, it can cause problems when it grows. For example, roots can cause damage to a building’s foundation. This is also true if the tree was planted near power lines and appears to be growing into them, or if the tree’s roots are too close to water lines, sewers, or sidewalks.
If a tree is likely to cause a problem like one of these in the future, it may be best to remove—or even transplant—the tree before the problem arises.
We hate to see any tree go, but the reasons listed above are all practical motivations to pursue tree removal. If you’re unsure whether your tree in your Tacoma, WA property should be removed, hire a professional like JT Tree Service to give you their professional opinion.
