To the untrained eye, detecting a dead tree can be difficult. And while they may look harmless enough, dead trees can pose significant risks to both people and property.
Taking the proactive step to remove a dead tree ensures that your yard remains a safe, thriving space.
Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons you should remove dead trees from your property.
1. Safety
The number one reason to remove dead trees from your property is for safety concerns. Dead trees can be weak and prone to falling over in severe weather or even just under their own weight. This can put people, property and pets at serious risk of injury, damage or worse. The only way to mitigate this risk is to remove the dead tree.
2. Prevent Pest Infestation And The Spread Of Disease
Dead trees can attract a myriad of pests including termites, beetles and borers that feed on the decaying wood. These pests can spread to other areas of your garden and even your home, resulting in untold damage. Dead trees can also be a home to snakes and rodents and can fall prey to various diseases. By promptly having dead trees removed, you can decrease the likelihood of pests and disease becoming a more widespread problem.
3. Avoid Costly Repair And Insurance Costs
A dead tree could fall onto your brand new car, your home or your neighbour’s house and result in hefty costs. Even if your insurance company will cover the damages, there’s still that excess to be paid. Dealing with the problem now means you won’t have to pay for any damages down the track or deal with disputes.
4. Protect Other Plants And Trees
Removing dead trees help keep other plants and trees in your yard healthy and strong. Dead trees can be breeding grounds for disease, pests, fungi, mould and rot that can spread to neighbouring vegetation.
5. Replant, Refresh, Renew
Out with the old and in with the new! Removing a dead tree will free up space for a new tree or allow you to re-think the area with some fresh, new landscaping ideas.
Leave It To The Professionals
If you need to remove dead trees from your property, it’s almost always best left to the professionals who come with the expert skill, knowledge, tools and equipment to get the (often highly dangerous) job done safely and effectively. Not to mention they are insured in the unlikely event something does go wrong.
Don’t attempt to remove a dead tree yourself to save a few bucks as it could end up costing you dearly.
