If you have a dead, diseased, or dying tree on your property, tree removal may seem an overwhelming idea, particularly if the tree is large. After all, it's been there for years or even decades; it would be a real project to remove this tree on your own. But in many cases, tree removal is beneficial or even essential, and the reward outweighs the cost. Alton Tree Services in West Hartford, Connecticut, offers tree removal services for any of the following reasons.

Remove Safety Hazards

A dead or badly damaged tree is a major safety concern as long as it's standing. After a tree dies, its branches become more brittle and likely to fall; the entire tree can topple, especially in inclement weather. Not only do you risk mess and property damage, but a little bad luck with a falling tree can lead to serious injuries or even death.

Open Up Your View

Even a healthy tree can be unattractive or badly placed, detracting from the beauty of your property and blocking pleasant views. This problem grows worse when the tree itself is an eyesore. To freshen up the look of your yard, tree removal may be the answer.

Prevent Pests and Diseases

Dead trees attract pests of all sizes, from termites to mold and fungus to beetles to animals that may make their homes in the decaying trunk or the hollow roots. Worse, the pests and diseases of a dead or dying tree can sometimes pass to other healthy trees nearby, devastating your yard. Prompt tree or stump removal can protect your landscaping investment and the beauty and value of your property.

The removal of a tree from your yard can be for a number of reasons, but a dead or dying tree can be the cause of many problems, some of them dangerous.
