[dropcap]T[/dropcap]rees lining the driveway, at the backyard, or the beautiful tree down the street may have to be removed for different reasons. It is good to keep a tree for as long as it can stand because besides the shade provided, trees add to the aesthetic value of homes, and they bring that desired breeze in summer.

This means that when a tree is removed, there has to be an important and a valid reason warranting the removal.

Some of the reasons include:

1. Structural failure or dying

With old age, trees become weak. If such a tree is located next to a building, there is a high risk that the tree may fall and hurt someone or destroy a building. It is highly recommended to call a tree service provider with insurance and license to prevent damage to someone’s property.

This is also applicable to old, weak, and diseased trees. If the disease is at an advanced stage and treatment will not reverse the state easily, then it is recommended to remove the tree.

2. Structural damage

Trees have either taproots or fibrous roots. Trees with taproots hardly cause structural problems because the roots tend to dig deeper. The fibrous roots however, dig deeper but wiser. This means that if the tree in your backyard has fibrous roots, the roots may get to your house’s foundation making the floor rise. If the roots are spread very widely under the house, they will destroy the house.

In such instances, proactive tree removal is necessary so as to save time and money to be spent later if the problem isn’t addressed.

3. Storm damage

If the tree by your driveway has fallen because of a storm, then you should call Dallas tree removal professionals. They will evaluate the state of the tree to see if it can be rehabilitated and if not, they will remove the tree expertly. You should consider replacing the tree after the removal of the storm-damaged one.

4. Renovations

Are you renovating and is that beautiful tree in the path of the new renovations or construction? If so, and a tree house or an architectural adjustment isn’t feasible, then, the tree will have to be removed. It is advisable that new construction sites are built, but the effects on trees is considered.

The tree will also be removed if there are new road constructions or renovations in your neighborhood.

5. Potential liability and high maintenance

In case the tree or trees become liabilities by growing too close to structures, thus risking damage to the structures, removal is a viable solution. The cost of maintaining these trees or even offering constant support to maintain an upright or an almost upright posture is high and if you feel like further maintenance will poke more holes on your account, then removal is the sensible thing to do.

In conclusion, providers of tree removal services will always evaluate your reasons for tree removal. If there aren’t any alternatives to remove the tree, then they will go ahead and remove it. You should also consider all the possible alternatives before making a final decision.
