Do You Need Tree Removal?
Over a long enough time, a tree will start to die and decay. Other times, a growing tree can become dangerous due to homes, buildings and other structures near it. Here are a some of the reasons it might be time to think about calling a tree service in Cook, IL to assess whether tree removal is the right choice your property:
- Rotting Trees – A decaying 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 removed in order to make the area underneath the tree safer or to allow for a better view.
- Root Encroachment – Tree roots extend below the soil a lot farther than the tree canopy. Roots wrap around water lines and push up sidewalks if given the chance. Cutting the tree down will eventually kill these roots and prevents them from damaging nearby property.
- Nearby Trees & Plants – A tree that has grown too large for its location affects the smaller trees and plants around it by taking away water and nutrients and blocking sunlight.
- Power or Phone Lines – Tall trees interfere with power lines and pose a danger for falling. Sometimes the power or phone company may demand these trees to be removed, or you can have trees removed as a precaution.
