When a tree develops problems and begins to erode, it can be a difficult decision as to when to remove the tree. Trees can provide many benefits to your Hamden, Connecticut home. If you would like to keep the tree as long as possible, trees can frequently be maintained for many years by cutting out all dead or diseased portions and watering deeply when needed. Eventually, all trees become too old and/or unsafe to be kept on your property. In these cases, it’s much better to hire a professional tree removal service to have a tree removed than to further risk damaging your home or endangering your family.
Removing a dead or dying tree is advisable as soon as you notice it. The longer you wait, the more decay has set in, and the more dangerous the tree is for a tree professional to work in AND for you to have standing on your property. If you see a tree on your property begin to wither, you should contact a certified Connecticut arborist immediately so that they can let you know what steps should be taken next.
We have listed some obvious reasons to remove a tree below:
- Dead trees attract pests.
- Dead trees are not aesthetically pleasing.
- Dead trees drop seeds, sap, branches, and block views and light which inhibit the lawn you want to grow.
- Tree diseases are contagious.
- Dead trees begin to decompose. If you don’t hire someone to remove it, these weakened branches may fall on a windy day or during a storm.
- Roots pose a serious threat to foundations, driveways, sidewalk and underground utilities
