Nurturing multiple trees on your land will complete the look of your yard and increase the curb appeal of your property. Trees will also produce oxygen and encourage wildlife to move into the area. Just like any living thing, trees have a set lifespan which means that sometimes you will need to seek tree removal. Just because one tree has reached the end of its life doesn’t mean that’s the end. You can plan another in its place to enhance the environment around your home. Knowing when to have a tree removed is not always easy to understand. That’s why Five Star Tree Services has put together a list of the top four signs that it may be time to remove and replace an old tree. The Tree is Dead If one of your trees is obviously dead, it no longer offers any benefits to your home or the surrounding environment. Dead trees can actually even become a hazard to your home and your family. Dead branches can fall on your roof or the tree itself can tip over during a storm. The best course of action is to call Five Star Tree Services to have a tree removal service performed. You will want to have the tree removed as soon as you can. Removing the dead tree will also help reduce the chances of fungus, vermin, and disease from developing or spreading to other trees on your land. Oversized Tree Large trees have a tendency to grow even larger. If you are worried about a tree brushing against your home or your foundation, it may be a good idea to have it removed. When trees encroach on the exterior walls or the foundation, it can result in costly repairs. Decayed & Diseased Trees Just like with people, trees can develop illnesses or infections that have no cure. These can come from trauma to the tree, seasonal fungus that are left untreated, or even from animals or bugs. Trees that suffer from decay or disease have a higher chance of collapsing on homes or even people due to lack of stability. Unhealthy trees also reduce the overall curb appeal of your home by making your landscaping visually unattractive. If you are trying to sell your home, it is a good idea to remove diseased and decaying trees before listing it on the market. Over Shading or View Blocking Trees Trees are another random part of nature that cares little for your personal view. If they are planted in an ideal spot that provides them with plenty of sun and nutrients, they will flourish in their location. If your trees are blocking the view of a critical area such as the lake or the beach, it can make you enjoy your home even less. For homes that are on the market for sale, a blocked view can deter home buyers from closing on the property. Although healthy tree removal should always be considered carefully, Five Star Tree Services can remove the impediment to your view in short order.
