Trees provide many benefits for both humans and the environment, which is why we need to care for them. Trees provide us fresh air, shelter, food, and raw materials and provide beauty in our neighbourhoods and parks. Regular watering, pruning, and mulching help trees thrive, but despite these actions, there may be situations when tree removal becomes absolutely necessary.
Here are a few instances:
1.Safety. Trees that grow near sidewalks or roads may cause potential harm to passing cars and passersby. When trees grow too close to telephone and power lines, storms and high winds can break branches, causing serious damage and power outages.
2. Structural conflicts. Modernization of our buildings and communities may require tree removal to make way for new projects. Or, when roots are too close to a property (causing damage to underground pipes), a tree may need relocation. Depending on the overall health of a tree, some that are removed are used for other purposes, while healthy trees can be replanted.
3. Damage is beyond repair. Some trees may suffer from damage due to improper care or neglect. However, most of the damage affecting a tree’s overall structure can be repaired if proper measures are taken. To determine the degree of damage, consult with a certified arborist to get a thorough inspection and assessment.
4. The tree is dying. Trees that are slowly decaying have greater likelihood of falling. One way to see if a tree is dead is to check its base for visible decaying roots. The most reliable way to know for sure is to seek an arborist’s help.
Before we consider removing a tree, we often seek other solutions to cure the tree’s health problems. Because most property owners love their trees, removing them is often a last resort. However, if we do decide to remove a tree, professional help is required; tree removal can be dangerous.
