Homeowners know that they have to undertake tree removal at one point of their lives, but most don’t know when to do it. Here is a guide on the right time to get rid of that tree:

Diseased tree

Just like humans, trees get sick. Clear signs of a diseased tree include abnormal growth and appearance. A sick tree also tends to have misshapen leaves. While it’s recommended that you get rid of a diseased tree, you shouldn’t get rid of the tree immediately you notice the signs.

You should give it time and see how it progresses. There are some trees such as those affected by herbicides that recover after some time. You should first contact a tree service provider to inspect the tree and give you a go ahead.

It’s only after you are given a green light by the service provider that you should hire a tree removal company to remove the tree.

Hollow tree

Animals, lightening and other factors can bore holes inside a tree. While a tree can last for decades with the holes, hollow trees have weak trunks. This puts you, your property and your loved ones at danger. To be safe, get rid of any tree whose 1/3 of the interior is hollow or rotten.

A leaning tree

When a tree leans it’s a sign that its roots are weak or have broken. Such a tree is a ticking time bomb and you should get rid of it almost immediately. If the tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, call a tree contractor to get rid of it.

Trees growing on rock ledges

This goes without saying: tree growing on rock ledges have shallow rood systems. If a tree growing on a rock is getting taller and bigger, you have a reason to worry. Due to the poor root system, the tree can fall any time putting your at the risk.

If you are having worries about a tree, call a tree professional to take a look at it. The professional will inspect it and let you know whether it’s strong enough or you should get rid of it.

You should also be cautious of trees growing near water bodies. They too have shallow root systems.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the reasons why you should get rid of trees. For safe tree removal hire a certified and experienced tree service company.
