The deciding factors of purchasing a home may be the quality of nearby schools, low crime rates, and nearby attractions. While these are important in your decision, ensuring that the property around your potential home remains safe is a top priority. As branches are prone to breaking during strong storms, it’s crucial to schedule an inspection to prevent damage. Below are three reasons to hire a tree service to help you understand the importance of assessing the yard before making an offer.

Why You Should Hire a Tree Service Company

1. To Follow Local Landscaping Regulations

Even if you don’t live in a housing development with strict property rules, the community may have regulations for landscaping. As a homeowner, it may be your job to ensure tree roots don’t interrupt the sidewalk adjacent to the property. You may be in charge of ensuring the walkway is clear of branches and debris to make it easy for people to walk or use a wheelchair. 

2. To Ensure the Health of the Trees

By getting a tree inspection, professionals will immediately spot the difference between healthy and diseased ones. A tree service company can address any issues like disease or rot. You can include expenses for adding new trees to replace ones that are dying to your upcoming costs list if you purchase the land.

3. To Learn About Expected Future Tree Care

By getting a tree inspection before purchasing real estate, you’ll learn what to expect when it comes to tree maintenance. Ask the experts about the different species in the yard and how to care for them. They can tell you how close you can mow the lawn to trunks, when and how much to water them, and what to expect as the seasons change. Plus, you can get an estimate on tree services like pruning and maintenance so you can factor that into your monthly budget.
