If a tree on your lot has suffered damage from weather, insects, or disease, it is a hazard to your family and neighbors. Emergency removal is necessary.
Emergency Tree Removal Is Your Responsibility
Older trees become brittle over time. Strong winds, insect pests, and fungal or bacterial infestations can lead to dangerous limb breakage. You may not notice that a tree is diseased until it loses a large limb or suffers a break at the trunk.
Winter Is the Time to Check Your Trees
When the trees on your property drop some of their leaves, make sure you go outside and study the canopy. If you notice any splits along the trunk or dying off of large branches, it’s time to get the tree checked out by a professional.
A fully leafed-out tree can hide hazards. You may have branches rubbing together or a serious infestation in the canopy. Before branches begin to drop, it is time to either get the tree trimmed up or have it removed.
Increase the Variety of Your Trees
If you’ve recently lost a tree to bacteria, disease, or pests, take a look at the other trees on your property. At one point in time, it was the practice to plant one family or species of tree on new lots.
Should you find that one tree has aged out or has become riddled with pests, there’s a good chance that the rest of your trees are at risk. It’s time to get them all checked out before strong winds or rainstorms lead to more breakage.
Check all the trees in your yard for signs of fungal infection. It is possible to invest in trees that are resistant to many conditions. Boosting the variety of the trees on your property will lessen the chance that you will have to deal with an emergency tree removal in future.
Make Sure You Check the Roots
If a tree has lost large branches, check the roots at the base of the tree. Tree roots serve to balance trees; the taller the trunk and the wider the canopy, the deeper and more widely spread the root pattern.
If you notice bulges in the soil at the base of any tree, it’s at risk of tipping onto fences, vehicles, or even your house. Any diseased or unbalanced tree on your property can cause a great deal of damage in the next bout of bad weather. Get them removed as soon as possible.
