The most common reason for tree removal is that the tree in question is either already dead or dying. But that isn’t the only reason a Denton property owner may request such a service. From trees that are planted too close to a property to those that are simply in the way of future landscaping plans, there are many reasons why tree removal might be necessary. 

Let’s dive into those and many other reasons in today’s blog post.

You Might Need Tree Removal If … 

Your tree is dead or dying — This should go without saying. After all, a dead or dying tree’s brittle trunk and leafless limbs usually stick out like a sore thumb and do nothing but drag down your front yard’s curb appeal. Not to mention, dead trees are more prone to uproot and fall as they decay and decompose. Even if it’s not the entire tree, it could be one or two heavy branches. The next thing you know, the tree or its fallen limbs are on top of your house, car, or in the pool. God forbid if a dead tree falls and hurts someone.

Your tree is diseased — To piggyback on the previous reason for tree removal, one of the more common reasons a tree starts dying is because of holes or cracks in the bark caused by insects, rot, fungus, and other tree diseases. Your trees are bound to come in contact with termites, beetles, ants, various fungi, etc., as the years go by. But if this is allowed to happen long enough, there’s a good chance that the tree could buckle and fall, putting you, your property, everyday people passing by, and nearby structures in jeopardy. 

Your tree is inhibiting future development — Some residential trees may need to be removed to improve a property’s visual appeal or pave the way for future construction or landscaping needs. 

Your tree is planted too close to something — We should all be planting more trees. That said, those planted too close to a house, building, nearby structure (gazebo, fence, etc.), and even power lines should be removed for safety reasons. Think about it; invasive roots will eventually damage home or storefront foundations, sidewalks, utilities, rooftops, gutters, and more. Even if there is no threat of physical damage like the ones we just mentioned, squirrels, rats, termites, etc., are attracted to trees and love climbing them. And the ones closest to your home or business make for a perfect springboard onto your roof. Once on your roof, they can climb into open windows, bore holes into your home siding, enter your attic or chimney, and even destroy shingles.

You have a tree that’s in a poor location — Tree removal may be necessary even for healthy trees if the tree has grown to the point where it is simply in the way. For instance, it could be blocking the pretty views of a nearby lake. It could be blocking important sunlight, dropping excessive leaves, sap, and other debris in areas that could be a nuisance. In some cases, to could be blocking primary access to a property. As beautiful as the tree is, and as much as you enjoy it, this could be enough reason to remove it. 

Your tree keeps the grass below it from growing — If you have tried every form of tree pruning and still cannot get the grass below your tree to stay alive, you may want to consider tree removal. This isn’t the wisest choice in every scenario. That said, sunlight must be able to pass through the canopy of the tree for anything below it to stay alive. The same goes for water. If the tree is simply too invasive, and there’s no threat of stealing from your home’s curb appeal, tree removal could be the solution.
