While trees can greatly enhance the appearance of your land and provide important benefits, such as shade, wind protection, and erosion control, they can also create problems. Our team at L&S Site Contractor offers tree removal services, and we know how to tell when a tree has to go.
Keep reading to learn a few key warning signs that you may need tree removal assistance soon.
- Visible Decay – One clear sign a tree needs to be removed is visible decay. If there are dead branches on your tree, we encourage you to give us a call to have it assessed right away. In some cases, it may be possible to remove the dead portions and preserve the rest of the tree, but in others, the whole tree may need to come down in order to reduce the risk of it damaging your property.
- Proximity – Even if a tree is healthy, it can pose a risk to your property if it’s too close to your building. If a tree is growing too close to your home or business, we strongly encourage you to give us a call to schedule tree removal services. Removing the tree will keep your building safe from storm damage, and it will prevent the roots from damaging the foundation or your underground utilities.
- Weak Structure – You may need to have a tree removed if it appears to have a weak structure or a poor growth pattern. Tree experts like those on our team know how to assess a tree’s growth to determine if it’s structurally sound. If it turns out that the tree is not sound, it could be necessary to remove it to prevent it from falling.
