Times are here when saving and planting trees is the top priority agenda with an aim of maintaining the ecological balance of our earth, removing trees might sound a little weird. It’s a beautiful experience to see a small seed or sapling grow into a tree. Hence, it is difficult to let go of trees in your surroundings. There is no doubt in saying that trees are very much required for a better and fresh environment, but there are times when removing trees or cutting down their branches is essential because of some important reasons.
If the tree you are planning to cut down or remove comes under regulation then you need to take permission from the council to permit tree removal. Also, if the tree is not regulated then you can call a tree removal service for the same.
Here Are Genuine Reasons Why Tree Removal Becomes Essential Sometimes
Better Landscape
Some trees are planted too close that when they reach their maturity and become fully grown, they start cutting off sunlight and air from the ground. This affects the growth of other bushes and small plants that are below them due to insufficient sunlight. If selective tree removal is done, more space becomes available where some other colorful plants and flowerbeds can be planted. You can also transplant some tree in that vacant space if it meets appropriate soil and weather conditions. Moreover, it also makes the surrounding landscape more organized and beautiful.
Diseased or Dead Trees
Any landscape looks appealing with strong and healthy trees. A dead or diseased tree attracts so many pests that get multiplied so quickly. These pests can affect other trees and can infest your home as well. When the tree is dead, it has almost lost its strength and ability to stand against the storms. Heavy winds or storms are likely to break its branches or bring down the tree. This can cause damage to nearby property, cars,s or even people. That’s why dead or diseased tree removal at right time is very crucial.
Roots affecting Water Pipes
It is a very common problem when the roots of trees block underground water pipes. Sometimes complex root systems find their way and interfere with the pipes that are installed underground. They might crack the pipes or find their way to grow into existing cracked pipes and keep growing there. This can lead to blockages, hindrance in the flow of waste, broken pipes, and many other issues. Removing the roots alone doesn’t work out as they grow back again and cause the same issue. In such cases, tree removal becomes the appropriate solution.
Hollow Trunk, Leaning Trees, and Power Lines
Sometimes trees continue to live for many years with hollows. Deep holes in the trunk mean the tree have a hollow trunk and if one-third of the tree has a hollow trunk, then it’s better to remove that tree to prevent any future damage. Leaning trees are also a threat as they can fall and injure someone or any property. If the tree is growing into power lines, then it’s very dangerous. During wet weather conditions, it can lead to short-circuiting or power failure because of wet tree leaves and can damage your property as well. That’s why tree removal is necessary.
Fire Hazard Zone
Some areas in Australia are susceptible to bushfire hazards. So, if to live in high bush fire areas and there are trees in your vicinity that can catch fire, then in such cases, tree removal becomes necessary for safety and protection.
These were a few reasons why it becomes essential to remove selective trees. Other than this, if the tree has passed its useful and safe life expectancy and is no more adding any visual or practical value to the surrounding, then it’s better to remove it and plant a new tree in its place that can be valuable.
