Reasons To Remove Dead Trees

(According To Angies List)

1. Dead trees attract pests.

It may not be a problem if a couple of birds nest in a tree, but dead trees can attract rats and termites, which can migrate to your home if the dead tree is not taken care of quickly. Termites can cause severe damage to your home, so don't risk it!

2. Dead trees are unattractive.

This is an obvious problem to have. Whether you are selling your home or enjoying your time there, if you are paying for landscaping (or doing the manual labor yourself), it pays to get rid of an ugly dead tree from your property.

3. Tree diseases are contagious.

If your tree is dying or sick because of a tree disease, you could be putting other plants and greenery at risk for the same disease. Powdery mildew, chlorosis, and white pine blister rust can wreck your landscaping and ruin the investment and hard work put into making a beautiful yard.

4. Fallen branches can be dangerous.

Over time, the branches on dead trees can weaken to the point where they fall off. During a windy day or a storm, falling branches can be extremely dangerous to people and property. You could be liable if one of your dead tree’s branches falls onto your neighbor's property and causes damage. People have been seriously injured and even killed by fallen branches.

5. Dead trees are more likely to topple over.

A dead/decaying tree could become so weak that it topples over. If this is a large tree near your home, a power line, or a neighbor’s home, it could potentially cost quite a bit in repairs. This is also a risk to the safety of people around that tree.

Stump Grinding Following Tree Removal

After the heavy lifting of removing a tree is completed, what’s left behind is the sturdy stump that once held the tree in place. Although tree stumps may look harmless at first glance, it is important to have them removed for several reasons ranging from aesthetics to safety.

While an old tree stump may not cause any problems at first, the longer it sticks around, the more it can become a nuisance. Shortly after they are separated from the tree, stumps begin a very slow decaying process Over time, that decaying, rotting stump becomes a hub for home damaging pests like termites or carpenter ants. Old stumps can get in the way of mowing your lawn or be a hazard for you and your family when in the yard.

Removing the stump, or grinding it down, is the best way to avoid a variety of issues. Learn more about stump grinding here, and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

How to Know When It's Time For Tree Removal in Wake Forest & Cary, NC

Signs of Infection: Cracks (deep splits in the tree’s bark), misshapen or discolored leaves, soft crumbly wood, crown dieback, and the appearance of fungi may indicate your tree is infected. Infected trees can spread their infection to other trees nearby, so it is time for tree removal if one tree is infected.
Little to No Growth: Trees that have thin leaf cover, discolored foliage, or do not come close to the height of other trees near it are having trouble with their growth. There are many reasons for this and may need to be diagnosed by a professional. Depending on the reason, the tree may need removal.
Root Defects: Root issues on trees are hard to fix and usually mean that you need tree removal. Heaving soil and fungi growing near the tree’s base are both signs of root issues.
Tree is Under Power Lines: Trees that are growing into or under power lines can become hazards. They can stop power, damage electricity in your home, and more. Tree removal is needed in this circumstance.
