Trees provide your property with beauty, shade, and insulation in addition to their role as oxygen producers. Unfortunately, these woody perennials are subject to storm damage and various diseases and pests. Schedule tree removal if you notice any threats to your healthy, beautiful landscape.

Top 5 Signs Tree Removal Is Necessary

1. Hanging or Dead Branches

If pruning practices no longer keep your tree healthy and beautiful, it is either dying or dead. Hanging branches are more than unsightly; they are a serious hazard capable of causing injuries and damage. What’s more, if you know your tree is dying and a hanging branch results in an injury or damage to neighbors’ homes and vehicles, your insurance will not cover the resulting bills.

2. Fungus Around the Base

Mushrooms or other fungus around the base of the towering perennial indicates decay. Mushrooms generally grow only when decay is present in addition to producing toxins. Since fungus points to decay or disease, schedule tree removal services before the problem spreads.

3. Missing Leaves

If you notice an abundance of missing leaves, your tree is likely diseased and requires removal. Anthracnose is a type of leaf fungi affecting numerous hardwoods, while oak leaf blister causes the leaves of oak trees to fall. Oak leaf blister also results in warts on leaves.

4. Emerging Roots

Obvious roots emerging from the soil tell you the perennial can’t support itself anymore and may have a hollow truck. An unstable tree is another serious hazard, so call for removal services immediately.

5. Foundation & Plumbing Problems

Extensive root systems sometimes reach a home’s foundation and plumbing system. This is because either the house was built too close to the tree, or the perennial was planted too close to the home. Regardless, tree removal is the only way to solve these expensive issues. Depending on the health of the tree, you may be able to have it replanted
