HomeHolland's Tree Service BlogFive Reasons for Tree Removal

Trees provide beauty to the world and offer a variety of benefits to the environment, like cooling, shade, and cleaner air quality. With all these benefits in mind, it’s understandable that most people prefer to avoid tree removal if possible. Sometimes it’s necessary though. There are many reasons why you might need professional tree removal services.

Five Reasons for Tree Removal

  1. Storm Damage – If a storm has passed through and damaged a tree on your property, there are some cases in which tree removal may be the best or only course of action. If high winds caused a branch to fall on your roof, for example, tree removal is absolutely necessary.
  1. Structural Integrity – When a tree is structurally unsound—it’s leaning, there are cracks in the trunk, etc.—it should be removed for the safety of people and structures nearby it.
  1. Disease – Disease doesn’t always mean a tree needs to be removed. Sometimes it can be treated. In cases where tree care can’t resolve the issue, however, tree removal is necessary to prevent further spread of the disease to other plants.
  1. Dead or Dying Tree – If a tree is dying or already dead, it should be removed to keep it from falling or attracting pests.
  1. Tree Location – There might be nothing wrong with a tree other than where it is growing. If a tree is too close to your home, for instance, the roots may damage your underground utilities. If a tree is too close to power lines, this is hazardous and may require tree removal.
