You may love that monumental tree on your property. It provides shade while also adding to its appeal.

And many times, there are emotional values attached to a mature tree. But are you certain that this tree is sturdy, and is not, in fact, at the brink of collapsing – let’s say – in the event of an upcoming storm?

This is a genuine threat not just for your property but your family too. A falling tree can leave you or your loved ones injured. 

Unfortunately, we often fail to realize the right time to get rid of the tree.

Keep reading below to uncover signs that call for a tree removal service:

The Tree Is Partially Damaged

Generally, trees are known to be sturdy and enduring. They can withstand the biggest storms, but it’s important to know that trees have certain lifespan. So, if more than half of the tree has endured damages, it’s better to get it cut off. There are little or no chances of its recovery. Over time, it will only deteriorate and become more hazardous.  

The Tree is Leaning

While the Leaning Tower of Pisa may seem fascinating, a leaning tree is a different story.

Over time, if a vertical tree gradually starts leaning towards its left or right side, it is a clear sign of its roots weakening or even broken underground. An even more serious concern is the side towards which the tree is leaning. If that area is a regular walkway, it could pose serious harm to people walking by. In such a case, tree removal is the only option.

The Tree Has Outgrown Towards Power lines

Slowly and gradually, branches of trees tend to expand horizontally and often tangle in electricity power lines.

A common occurrence in winters is the tree branches getting sheathed in ice, increasing in weight and causing the tree branches to fall off, taking the power lines with it.

Not only can it leave several houses along the street without electricity, but the open wires can be dangerous for passersby.

If your mature tree is close to crossing electricity cables, get it removed before any accident occurs.
