Not every diseased or ailing tree needs to be removed. After all, even a sick tree provides shade, keeps the soil in place, cleans the air, and increases property values. However, there are several signs that it’s time to call a tree removal service in Conyers. Tree Health How sick is the tree you are thinking about removing? Dying trees that aren’t at risk of falling on people or structures can be maintained for years by simply removing ailing parts and occasionally watering them. If more than 50 percent of the tree is sick or ailing, it’s probably time to remove the tree. It’s also important to take note of where the damage is. Trunk damage is the most concerning, though a small trunk wound may eventually heal. A hollow tree is in danger of falling. If more than a third of the trunk is hollow or diseased, it’s probably time to remove the tree. Tree Location Even a dead tree can be a thing of beauty. Woodpeckers and other animals can make a home in a hollowed out trunk, and tree removal is expensive. That said, if your tree is in danger of falling on a structure like a garage or your home, safety is key. You should also note whether your ailing tree is likely to grow or fall into a power line. The tree’s approximation to other plant life should also be considered. Trees require a lot of water and nutrients. If there are other trees or plants growing nearby, they may be enhanced by having the tree removed as they will have access to the nutrients and water the tree was using. Removing a dead or ailing tree will also allow sunlight to reach your lawn. Removing a dying or dead tree can be an expensive proposition, but there are good reasons to consider calling in a tree removal service in Conyers if the sick tree is near a structure or using nutrients that could benefit other nearby plants.
