The Importance of Trees
We cannot deny the importance of trees for other living things and the environment in general. Trees provide us with clean air and give comforting shade against the extreme heat of the summer months. Additionally, trees help in controlling soil erosion and contribute to preventing floods during heavy rains. Despite the many benefits, there are still unavoidable circumstances when you may require a tree care service to remove a tree from your property. To understand the right reasons for removing trees from your yard, it is just as important to understand the advantages of hiring professional tree removal services.
Reasons for Tree Removal in Largo
Right Tree, Wrong Place
A tree planted too close to a dwelling may eventually wreak havoc on a home. Tree roots can grow under the home's foundation, or even into sewage systems and their pipes. This can cause extreme damage that costs thousands of dollars to fix, which is why it’s important to get them taken care of before the damage becomes too costly to repair. Even if the tree is not causing an issue now, you don’t want to wait until there is a bad storm, where you would end up needing emergency tree services.
As roots are usually not visible, it is possible that there is already an issue with them on your property. If you have problems with your waste water system underground through your yard, or if your home's foundation appears to be altered or cracking, have a professional take a look to see if the problem is caused by a root.
In most urban areas trees are commonly planted too close to powerlines above and impervious surfaces below. Due to their natural ability to filter and clean our air they are vital to the environment to have trees in these highly populated urban area where pollution is at its highest. It is common for people in urban areas to dislike trees because of the added maintenance and cost associated with keeping trees healthy in an urban area.
Harmful to healthier trees or the potential risk to your neighbour’s property
You may have heard the expression ‘good fences make good neighbours’ and so, do properly-maintained trees. An unhealthy or poorly maintained tree can be a threat not only to you and your neighbour’s property, but also to other surrounding trees.
If your tree is diseased, leaning or has visible decay, we recommend prompt removal. Some trees in our area are not native and pose risk to the surrounding more desirable trees.
If your neighbourhood has a homeowner's association, you may find yourself in trouble. Your neighbours may complain they are worried about potential damage to their property or landscaping, or perhaps members of the HOA board have noticed the tree issues on their own. Either way, the fines can add up fast, and if you ignore them, you could be facing a lien. Thus, paying for tree removal or pruning is usually the wisest and most affordable option.
Garden Aesthetics
You may have a tree on your property that, for whatever reason, you simply don’t like and want removed for aesthetic reasons. For example, it may be a tree that casts too much shade onto your garden or the leaves are overwhelming at certain times of the year. These reasons are less likely to get permit approval from your City officials. Unless you can prove a need or defect you are most certainly going to be denied the permit you need to remove the tree legally. Any company that does not mention permitting and replant requirements during your estimate, is a company you want to stay away from. Every City and County in the state of Florida has rules and regulations for tree removal, as well as replant requirements. It is probably safe to say your best bet is to call out a professional Clearwater Arborist to your home.
