It can be hard to remove a tree from your property. After all, trees are beautiful, clean the air, bear fruit, and block out noise. However, you may need to call your local tree company to remove a tree or spruce for several reasons ranging from safety to aesthetics. Here are three of the most common reasons for tree removal services.

1. Overgrown Roots

Did you know tree roots are powerful enough to uproot your foundation? When roots on a large tree get out of control and start growing toward your house, your local tree specialist may have to act quickly. Otherwise, those roots can uplift your foundation and ruin it. It can also puncture your septic tank. When that happens, you now have a major health hazard. A punctured septic tank can leak waste fluid into your soil, which can further get into your local water supply.

2. Too Close to Home

While it can be a nice sight to look outside your window and see some trees right there, having them too close can be a hazard. During inclement weather, such as heavy winds or hurricanes, a tree too close to your home can fall on it and cause major damage or destruction. In addition to having damaged property, you or someone else could get hurt in the process.

3. Diseases

The last thing your yard needs is a bunch of diseased trees that attract vermin. A diseased tree can also turn into a dead tree when not treated in time. All that rotten debris can easily attract flies, ants, and rodents looking for something to hide and nest in. Plus, if you have any healthy trees on your property, diseased trees that are close to them can make them sick too. According to Arborists Near Me, 90% of American homeowners understand the importance of yard maintenance. If you're part of the 10%, give us a call so we can explain the risks of leaving these issues unsolved.

When you have a property full of trees, they still need to be spaced out and kept in a healthy condition. If any trees are too close to your home, have overgrown roots, or are too close together, it may be time to remove one or several of them. When this situation occurs, don't try to handle it yourself.
