Tree Care Tips - Tree Removal Services
Tree removal can be a big decision to make. And it is helpful to have some advice on whether it is the right decision to do. Here are some questions which may give you some clarity as to whether tree removal is the best option for your tree.
1. Is your tree dying, badly diseased or infested by insects?
If your tree is dying, badly diseased or has a terrible insect infestation, depending on where it is located on your property, it may be best to remove it. Tree removal is best for dying, badly infested or diseased trees that might damage property or injure a person. If your tree is close to buildings on your property like your house, shed or garage or overhangs your driveway, walkway, sidewalk, backyard or pool, then tree removal is likely the best choice.
2. Is one side of your tree dead but the other side living?
Having one side of tree dead while the other side is healthy is an indication that there may be root or trunk damage on the affected side. These trees are potentially dangerous as the dead branches have the potential to fall and damage property or injure a person.
3. Is your tree a desirable species?
Many people have trees growing on their property but hardly know what tree species they are. Here are some other undesirable trees: willows, mulberry, black locust, box elder, poplars and a few others. If you have these trees growing on your property, tree removal is a good option. These trees are known to be weak and prone to breaking limbs and dropping large quantities of branches and leaves. Some of these trees are very prone to be infested by insects and others. If you have one of these tree types or if you are unsure as to the tree species you have on your property, give Arborcraft Tree Service a call at 03-9913-5195 and we can tell you exactly the species of tree.
4. Does your tree have trunk damage?
If your tree has severe damage to the trunk or has large vertical cracks along the trunk, then tree removal is needed. These types of injuries to a tree usually suggest there is an internal decay. A hollow trunk in a tree is very dangerous as the tree is weakened at its core. Tree removal is the best course of action.
5. Is the tree planted in an area with adequate space to grow?
If you have a large property and are looking to landscape it to be similar to a forest, then planting shade trees close together is fine. The trees will grow together into one large canopy. If a tree grows too big and is always overhanging the roof of your house, it may need to be removed. This is to protect your roof from damage as well as your eaves. Tree roots can also interfere with your plumbing system if they are located too close to your house.
