Making My Yard More Functional

Posted on: 15 July 2021

Some of the trees around your home might be serious hazards that you are going to have to deal with before they cause damage. Therefore, you may have to remove the trees to ensure your home is safe from these hazards. The following tree removal options will help you deal with these issues to keep your property safe:

Identifying the Tree Dangers

You are going to need to identify issues with tree dangers before you decide on removal. You want to look for various issues to determine if a tree is hazardous and needs to be removed. The most obvious reason to have a tree removed is that it has died and is at risk of falling. There are also issues with trees being too close to your home or problems like insects and disease. Sometimes, these issues can be dealt with by having the trees trimmed if the problem hasn't gotten too bad yet.

Safe Distances for Trees  

When it comes to the trees around your home, there are some things you might want to know about distances. For instance, you want to have a tree a safe distance away from your home to prevent damage if it falls or keep trees and branches away from utility lines and installations.  If you live in an area that is at risk of wildfires, thinning wooded areas and keeping trees away from structures like your home is a good idea.

Planning for Tree Trimming and Removals

The trees that pose the biggest risks will need to be removed, and there are going to be preparations that need to be done. First, you want to talk with the tree service about scheduling the removal and determine when it will be a good time to have the work done. You might also want to do some other planning for dealing with waste and restoring the landscaping after the trees are gone. You can discuss dealing with the waste with your tree service and ask them if they can provide stump grinding services for the landscaping.

Removing the Most Hazardous Trees

The hazardous trees need to be removed carefully to prevent problems. The tree removal process can sometimes be a problem if you don't prepare for it. Before the tree service arrives, prepare your landscaping and remove any objects that are in the way. Also, clear a path for equipment and make sure there is easy access to the area where you have hazardous trees on your property.

The trees on your property can be vulnerable to damage during storms and need to be removed to prevent hazards. You can contact a tree removal service to help plan removing trees to keep your family safe.
