Located about 20 miles east of Atlanta, the city of Lithonia experiences the same pleasant year-round temperatures as its nearby neighbor. However, it also can be impacted by some of the more unpredictable and damaging weather such as ice storms, high winds, and occasional tornadoes, which can wreak havoc on trees. Such destructive conditions that occur from time to time can do widespread harm to the area's trees and, unfortunately, require removal of those more severely damaged. Removal of trees, of course, leaves behind the problem of stump removal in Lithonia and that often requires professional assistance from experts who offer this service. Weather-related destruction, however, is only one reason that a tree must be removed and is often the least of a homeowner's problems. Health There are numerous reasons to remove a tree due to its declining health. Dying or even dead trees can serve as desirable locations for birds like woodpeckers or maybe a family of bluebirds that may take up residence and make their nests in the tree. However, the same conditions can also attract termites, mice, and rats, all of which can eventually make their way into your house. Diseases that can cause the death of a tree can also be contagious and infect other trees or plants nearby, which in turn can contract the same disease. For instance, powdery mildews that develop on a tree's branches and its trunk, causing the tree to lose its deep green color and begin to turn yellow, can infect planted flowers that are underneath or close to the tree as well as other trees in the general area. It's advisable to remove a dead or dying tree as soon as possible because the longer it remains, the more decay will set in and the more dangerous the tree becomes both for the homeowner as well as for a tree professional who will remove it. This also means it will cost more the longer a homeowner waits to act. It is rare that dying trees that are not a danger to people or structures can be allowed to die in place without intervention. Nuisance One of the worst nuisances is when a tree has grown too close to a house, utility line, swimming pool, or other locations around a home, and simply trimming it back is no longer a solution. It may also be blocking views of one or more windows or it may have grown so large that it is now out of proportion with the rest of the house. Also, after remodeling or making additions to a home, one or more trees may cease to blend well with the new appearance. Often a tree will need to be removed when it's dropping seeds, sap, or branches that consistently need to be cleaned up because they are damaging a lawn or creating so much shade that it's inhibiting the healthy growth of a lawn. A tree's removal can also be beneficial in eliminating competition for light and space for nearby plants so that they are better able to propagate and flourish. A tree's roots can also pose a threat to a home's foundation, a driveway, sidewalks, or in some cases underground utilities, water, and sewer lines. When that occurs, removing the tree and its roots become a necessity. Finally, it may be that one or more trees are simply undesirable because of their characteristics, which can include branches prone to frequent breakage, dropping large quantities of leaves or berries, or being highly invasive by prolifically reseeding. Any one or a number of these situations are reason for removing a tree and subsequently requiring the help of professionals who are experts at stump removal in Lithonia.
