Most homeowners enjoy having trees on their property. Trees help clean the air, produce fruit, provide shade, and add to your curb appeal. However, under certain circumstances, you may need to make a tough decision to get rid of a tree. Here are some reasons why you may have to call your local tree care company for professional tree removal.

1. Overgrown Roots

According to the National Association of Landscape Professionals, over 90% of homeowners believe that it's important to maintain their yards. When you keep a close eye on your outdoor space, you'll spot issues like overgrown tree roots quickly. An overgrown root can pose a danger to your structures, as it can completely lift your home off its foundation. They can even puncture your septic tank and cause sewage to leak out, which could contaminate your soil and municipal water supply. When you notice that a particular tree's roots are out of control, it may be time to call in a tree removal service.

2. Dangerous Leaning

Are you noticing one of your trees leaning at an extreme angle? While trees are strong and resilient, if they're leaning too far, they could snap and fall over at any time. If it falls, it can injure you or someone else on your property. Now that winter is here, there are high winds and the possibility of snow storms around our Missouri area. So, if you have a tree that's already at an extreme lean, being weighed down by heavy winds or snow can make it fall faster. It's wise to call in the professionals from your local tree care company to get a second opinion and remove the tree ASAP if it poses a threat.

3. Hazardous Home Proximity

Is a particular tree too close to your house? Trees strategically planted around your home can help reduce noise pollution, give you privacy, and provide shade. However, when it's too close, it can easily fall on your home during inclement weather. It can also cause problems when branches scrape your roof and cause damage like cracks and other vulnerabilities. Your gutters can also suffer as twigs, leaves, and flower bulbs fall inside and clog them up.

As hard as it may be, you may have to remove a tree from your property at some point. If your tree is showing signs of weakness by leaning too far, being too close to your home, or having overgrown roots, you must get rid of it to save the integrity of your property. Most importantly, you can prevent yourself and others from getting hurt. Our team at Eden Tree Service is more than happy to assist you with any tree removal projects.
