Tree Removal Company Yonkers NY
Cutting down a tree can be a hard decision to make, particularly if that tree has been around for years. Sometimes, though, that ends up being the path that’s necessary in order to ensure the well-being of the rest of your property. Efforts can be made to save a sick tree and help maintain it for a while to help preserve the look of your home or business, but in time a diseased or dead tree will cause more harm than good. It could cause damage to the surrounding ecosystem, and even put you at risk for serious property or personal damage.
Signs A Tree Needs to be Removed
It isn’t always easy to tell just by looking at a tree if it’s at risk or not. That’s where Yonkers Tree Pros comes in; we know exactly what to look for in order to evaluate whether your tree is healthy, in need of some maintenance, or needs to be removed altogether.
There are a few different factors that need to be considered when looking at the removal of a tree:
There are a few different factors that need to be considered when looking at the removal of a tree:
- Stability. Are there are roots visible? Does the surrounding soil seem loose? Does the wood of the tree seem dry, brittle, or is the trunk full of hollows? Does the tree appear lopsided or off-balance? If the answer to any of these is yes, then your tree may be in danger of becoming uprooted and falling over. This can quickly cause an emergency situation that would potentially result in costly property damage, or even personal injury or death should anyone be on site at the time.
- Position on the property. Is your tree within falling distance of your home or any other nearby structures? Do the branches grow near power lines? These are both important questions to consider during the evaluation process.
- Visible state of the tree. Is there any noticeable damage, cracks, etc., possibly from a recent attack or storm? A damaged tree is at a much higher risk for dropping branches or debris, or for falling over.
- Species of the tree. Certain tree species naturally have strong roots that grow deep into the soil, like hickory, white oak, and magnolia trees. Species such as these are very sturdy and are unlikely to become uprooted in the event of a strong storm or accident. However, trees that have shallower roots—i.e. Mulberry trees, Willows, Poplars, and other such species—would be more prone to getting toppled.
- Presence of pests. Do you notice an abundance of pests—such as ants, termites, etc.—making their home in your tree? Or are there signs of potential parasites (like growths or fungus)? Neither is good for the health of your tree, and can be indicative of a deeper problem such as a disease. Trees afflicted with pest or parasite infestation can often be treated and rehabilitated, but it is still important to have an expert make certain that it isn’t a symptom of a bigger problem.
