While having trees on your property can provide shade and beautiful aesthetics, diseased or older trees may require removal. The foundation contractors at Hillside Landscaping & Excavation are known throughout Anchorage, AK, and the surrounding areas for providing top-notch landscaping in addition to foundation work and repair. If you have trees on or near your property that you think may require removal, take a look at the signs offered by these landscaping and foundation contractors.

Top 4 Signs It’s Time for Professional Tree Removal

1. Decaying Roots

Trees tend to grow upwards. If you notice significant leaning and branches frequently falling off, this could be a sign of decaying or damaged roots. Since the problem will persist, removal may be the best option. 

2. Trunk Damage

While trunks tend to be sturdy and prepared for various weather conditions, a storm can create irreversible damage. After noticing any trunk trauma, hire a landscaping team to inspect whether the tree can be saved or if removal is necessary. 

3. Proximity

When trees grow too close to a home, roots can extend into the foundation and disrupt the integrity of the structure. Foundation contractors can perform repairs, but homeowners should consider tree removal if root growth and branches over your roof become an issue. 

4. Lack of Foliage

Has your tree stopped producing foliage? Lack of leaves and new growth is a clear indication that the tree is dying and should be removed before it falls.
