A tree is at once a home, a shade-giver, a fruit-provider, a source of oxygen, and a thing of beauty. As all nature lovers will agree, it is a very sad thing indeed when a tree needs to be cut down and removed altogether.
Trees fall prey to insect attacks, fungal attacks, common diseases and may need to be chopped down. They may also begin to lean dangerously or interfere with electric lines or threaten to topple on the neighbours’ roof. In such cases, too, you need to contact emergency tree services to help remove the tree from your premises.
Here are 9 reasons to give Pro Gardeners’ Emergency tree removal services a call.
1. Tree Branches Too Close To Power Lines
Sometimes trees that grow too close to power lines may pose a fire hazard in dry weather. Further, the branches may knock down power lines in case of harsh stormy weather. To avoid fires or power lines being knocked out, call a professional to take care of the problem and lop off interfering branches or remove the whole tree itself. Sometimes storms may even break off branches leaving them hanging precariously. If you have such trees on your property, reach out to our emergency tree removal services.
2. Trees Leaning With A Lean Of More Than 20 Degrees
Trees may begin to lean after a particularly windy storm. A lean of more than 20 degrees should be cause for concern. Anything less is not as dangerous. In case a tree is leaning and its one side has dead leaves or a wounded trunk, while the other side has green leaves, it is important to remove the tree completely. This is an emergency scenario and needs immediate attention. A leaning tree may also create damage to property if it has not been cleared by an arborist.
3. Cracks And Cavities In The Tree Trunk
Cracks and cavities form on certain tree trunks because of harsh weather like storms or diseases. Sometimes the cracks and cavities may be pretty deep leaving the tree structurally unsound and at risk of toppling. Cavities should be investigated by a certified arborist who ought to then take a call on whether emergency tree services are needed or not.
4. Exposed Roots
If the tree has exposed roots because of soil erosion it is structurally unsafe. Roots provide the needed support for trees. Deep roots help trees stay upright and give them a firm foundation. Exposed roots may create a situation where the tree may fall because of a lack of this support.
5. Presence Of Pests and Diseases
Tree pests and diseases may affect the structural integrity of the trees on your property. If you notice leaf discolouration, pests like termites, holes in leaves, and fungal growth, the tree may be diseased and could require treatment or removal. Either way, get in touch with a professional gardener for a consultation before choosing emergency tree removal services.
6. Powdery White Mildew
Powdery white mildew when it appears on the bark of the tree, can be quite dangerous to the tree. In case the tree requires treatment, go ahead with it, but in some cases, the tree may need to be removed if the mildew has spread too far.
7. Branches Threatening To Fall On Your Neightbours’ Property
Don’t be negligent if any tree on your property is threatening to fall on your neighbours property. This could be the foundation of a lawsuit which could take tons of money to close. So, do the neighbourly thing and choose to call tree removal services.
8. 50% Or Over Of The Tree Damaged
If over 50% of the tree is damaged, it is better to remove the tree as it is just a stump and not a healthy specimen. Further, if a tree is in decline, it may survive a few more years, but it will have limited growth, so you could choose to remove it now.
9. There Is Trunk Damage
Any kind of severe damage to the tree trunk, any damage more than 25% of the circumference, is cause to consider removing the tree. Trunk damage may result in a tree falling, so get this checked immediately.
10. Small Shoots Or Sprouts Coming From The Base Of The Tree
Small shoots or sprouts coming from the base of the tree are an indication of some stress that the tree has been through. The roots or the tree may have been hurt which causes shoots or sprouts coming from the base of the tree. It’s important to get such a tree evaluated by an arborist before you consider the tree’s future.
