Dying or diseased trees present a number of hazards. That’s why having them removed by a professional tree trimming company promptly is vital. But what exactly could happen if you decide to wait? Here, the team at Carlos Tree Service, a staple of the Anchorage, Alaska community for over 20 years, explains why dying or diseased trees are so dangerous.

3 Reasons to Call a Tree Trimming Company to Remove a Dying or Diseased Tree

1. It’s Likely to Fall

If the integrity of a tree on your property is compromised, you and your family may be in danger. The weakened trunk and limbs are more likely to fall, and if they land on your roof, the damage might not be covered by home insurance. In addition, you are liable if any branches from your property fall on passersby, your neighbor’s home, or an electrical line. Tree cutting services can safely remove dying branches or trees from your property, eliminating the risk of anyone getting hurt.  

2. It’s Contagious

Diseased trees can spread their illness to the other leafy giants on your property if it’s left standing. This might result in you having to spend more money to cut down more trees if they are infected. A tree trimming company can easily spot the diseased one and remove it from your yard before it causes more problems and bigger bills. 

3. It Attracts Pests

Have you noticed the appearance of a woodpecker in your yard? How about a host of unwelcome termites? Dying and diseased trees make perfect homes for pests, which can quickly multiply and invade your home. Tree removal ensures you don’t wind up with an infestation in your house.

If you’re concerned about the health of your trees, it’s best to consult an arborist as soon as possible.
