Whether you are a homeowner, a business owner, or a city administrator, it is essential to maintain your trees to keep them healthy, beautiful, and safe. So if you have a tree on your property that is dead or dying, it is very important for you to have it removed.
Why?
Dead Trees Attract Pests
While dead trees offer great benefits to forests, dead trees on your property are a different story. A dead tree here means it can be a haven for pests that can spread to and infect other trees.
Removing your dead tree is especially important if the tree suffered from Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). EAB is now considered to be the most destructive pest in North America. Ash trees weakened or killed by EAB become extremely brittle creating a high risk for people and property.
Consult with a professional tree company to improve the health and appearance of your trees and to prevent pests from harming your tree. They will help you find the right treatment and nip them in the bud for healthy, beautiful trees.
Dead Trees Spread Disease
If your tree died due to disease, leaving it may promote the development and spread of disease to other trees on the property. To protect the health of your trees, remove the dead tree as soon as possible.
If you notice unhealthy or unusual growth on your trees, contact a tree service to help you determine the cause and treat it. If the tree is not yet dead, they will consult with you about the pros and cons of removing it versus treating it. Ultimately, the decision to remove will be up to you.
Dead Trees Are Dangerous
Finally, dead trees on your property are dangerous to the safety of both property and persons nearby. Dead limbs can break off from the tree and hit your house, car, or a passer-by, which can be cause a lot of damage.
Deadwooding and removing dead trees from your property is an essential part of your Duty of Care, which will prevent you from being held liable if an accident occurs. In addition, your insurance will cover damages.
