When trees on your property are damaged, dying, or already dead, tree removal is a necessary step in restoring your yard and keeping other areas safe from harm. Once an arbor has been deemed unsalvageable, the benefits of having a tree service eliminate it from your yard far outweigh leaving it there. If you’re worried about a tree on your property, consider these reasons to get rid of it.

Benefits of Dead Tree Removal

1. Safety

As trees deteriorate, they become less stable, which then makes them a safety hazard. Limbs, branches, or even the whole tree will fall eventually, harming a family member or striking your home or another nearby structure. Depending on its location, it may even topple over and affect your neighbor’s property, making you liable for damages.

2. Pest Control

Dead trees attract pests of all types. Anything from termites to carpenter ants will thrive in the decaying wood, leading to infestations that can spread to your home. Unwanted vermin such as rats also love to nest in the dark environment of a dead tree. Tree removal eliminates potential breeding grounds for all different species of insects and rodents.

3. Diseases

When trees die from diseases, the illness is likely to spread to other greenery. Even mold and mildew growth on decaying wood will affect other plants if it isn’t addressed. Prompt tree removal eliminates this risk factor before it impacts the entire yard.

4. Renewed Landscape

A tree that is dying or dead will usually have peeling bark, broken or sagging branches, and no leaves, all of which can reduce your home’s curb appeal. If the tree is a prominent feature in the yard, then removing it as soon as possible will greatly enhance the way your home looks.

5. Cost Savings

Removing compromised trees early saves money in the long run. Property damage, sick plants, and messes left by dying or dead trees all add up to extra cleanup costs. Once a tree is determined to be too sick to save, the price of taking it down immediately is much lower than waiting for a more serious problem to arise.
