Two Major Signs That You Need to Remove a Tree on Your Property
Trees can add beauty and elegance to your property and boost its overall curb appeal while providing much-needed shade during the summer months and helping you stay cool and comfortable. However, despite the benefits they bring, there are moments when removing a tree is better than keeping it on your property. You’ll know that it’s time for tree removal if these signs are present:
The tree is dead or dying
Deceased trees will eventually lose the ability to support their own weight, which means that they can topple over and fall on your house, your car, your neighbor’s property, or even on unsuspecting passersby. To prevent property damage and bodily injuries, you should remove dead or dying trees as soon as possible.
The tree is growing too close to your house
Tree roots can spread several feet away from the trunk, and they’re tough enough to drill through almost any material. This means that, if you have trees that are just a few feet away from your house, there’s a chance that their root systems will reach your house foundation and create cracks or holes in its holes. And it’s not just about tree roots; you should also observe if the trees are shedding their leaves on your roof. If they are, you’ll find yourself having to do roof cleaning more frequently, and your roofing can even get damaged since leaves and twigs can trap rainwater and cause them to seep into the deeper layers of the roof.
