3 Signs You Need To Have A Tree Removed

by Bill Kuhn

Having trees on your property can have several benefits. They provide a great deal of shade and privacy, and they are also very beautiful to look at. However, there are some cases in which the trees on your property may need to be removed. This article will discuss 3 signs that you need to the help of tree removal services:

It Hangs Over Your Roof

If you have a tree that has grown so large that it actually hangs over your roof, this may be an issue for you. You will notice that anything that comes off the tree will fall directly onto your roof and gather there. This can cause added weight to your roof, which can cause damage. Also, if the tree begins to actually rest on your roof, this can cause structural damage to your roof as well. This type of tree will likely either need to be removed or cut back from your roof by a tree trimming service. 

The Roots Are Exceptionally Close To Your Foundation

If you find that a tree you planted has roots that have grown close to your foundation or even under your foundation, this can cause your foundation to shift, crack, and break. If you see that a tree is a problem or a potential problem, it is in your best interest to call right away and have the tree taken care of before more costly damage is done. 

It Excessively Leans To One Side Or The Other

If you have a tree that is not even and favors either the right or left side, this is a problem. A tree of this kind is more prone to falling over in excessive winds. It is also prone to falling over if someone were to climb on it. This can be very hazardous to anyone who goes near it, and it can also put any structures in danger that are near it, whether it be your home, the power lines and telephone poles, a vehicle, etc. Because the tree is already leaning, you may think that cutting it down will be simple. However, this is not often the safest method. You should instead consider hiring a professional tree removal service to come out and carefully remove the tree to ensure that it falls the right direction and doesn't land on anything, They will also ensure that the stump of the tree is taken care of so that it is not a hassle for you.
