Do You Need Tree Removal?
Over a long enough time, a tree will begin to decay and die. Sometimes, a growing tree can become hazardous due to homes, buildings and other structures nearby. Here are a few reasons it might be time to consider calling a tree service in Lake, IL to assess whether tree removal is the right choice your property:
- Rotting Trees – A rotting tree has serious damage, whether it’s from rodents and pests, disease, age or another cause. It should be removed before it can infect other trees or fall on a nearby structure.
- Safety & Visibility – Lower limbs can be cut off in order to make the area underneath the tree safer or to allow for a better view.
- Root Encroachment – Tree roots extend below the ground a lot farther than the tree canopy. They wrap around water lines and push up pavement if possible. Cutting the tree down will eventually kill the roots and prevents them from damaging nearby property.
- Nearby Trees & Plants – A tree that has grown too large for its location can affect the smaller trees and plants around it by taking away water and nutrients and blocking sunlight.
- Power or Phone Lines – Large trees interfere with power lines and create a danger for falling. Sometimes the power or phone company may require these trees to be removed, or you can proactively have trees removed to be safe.
