Tree removal is a necessary task for many homeowners. Whether you need to remove a tree because it has died and become hazardous, or you just want to create more space in your yard, there are signs that indicate that this service may be needed. Here are five of the most common ones.

1. A Tree Is Damaging Property

Some trees are beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. If one is causing damage to your home or other structures on your property, then it might be time for removal. For example, if the tree's roots are pushing against the foundation of your house and causing cracks, you should remove it.

2. The Tree Is Dying

Not all trees will die all at once. Some start to show signs of decay early on and could have been prevented with a little care. If you notice dead or dying branches, then it may be time to consider tree removal services. Tree disease can spread quickly throughout a tree, so if one branch is showing these signs, other parts could follow soon after.

3. The Tree Is Brittle

Just like with human bones, some trees become brittle and fragile as they age. This can lead to breakage and general instability. When this occurs, the tree needs immediate removal. If you notice large cracks in parts of the trunk or signs that branches might snap off easily during windstorms, then it is time to call a tree removal service.

4. The Tree Is In The Way

If you want to redo your landscaping or if you want to build a new structure on the property, then there might come a time when a tree is in the way. In these cases, it may be necessary to remove the tree and reshape the surrounding area so that you can start over again.

5. A Tree Has Fallen On The Property

If this occurs, then it is time to call a tree removal service. If you are lucky, the tree will have fallen in such a way that no damage has been done on your property, and you may take a few days before having it removed. However, if the tree has fallen on anything, it needs to be removed right away.
