When should I remove a tree?

Tree removal is often necessary when a tree is no longer healthy, has grown too large or become a hazard to nearby structures. Other common reasons for removing trees include:

- Dead or diseased branches and trunks: Trees that have a disease or are already dead should be removed for safety reasons to prevent a sudden collapse.

- Overgrown roots: If the tree's roots are causing damage to nearby structures, such as foundations, roads, sidewalks, or drain fields, it is important to remove the tree.

- Branches becoming hazardous: Large branches that have fallen off or are at risk of breaking off and falling pose a risk to people and property.

- Blocking sunlight: Trees can prevent you from getting enough natural light, leading to conditions that prevent a healthy lawn, lead to growth on roofs, or simply prevent the full enjoyment of your property

- Creating allergies or other health issues: Some trees have pollen that triggers allergies and can make it difficult to breathe. If you have an allergy to a specific tree on your property, removal may improve your symptoms.

- Storm damage or uprooting: Central VA is known to have wind and ice storms that can cause a great deal of damage. This can lead to  trees falling over and causing property damage or personal injury. These fallen trees are extremely dangerous and can weigh thousands of pounds. Call a properly qualified arborist to safely handle these situations.

- Pest infestations: Certain pests like borers, aphids, and mites can cause a great deal of damage to trees and shrubs. Removal may be necessary if damage is severe or threatens other plants

- Obstruction of utility lines or other aspects of the landscape: Large trees can cause obstruction and potential hazards when growing too close to utility lines, roofs or other structures.

In some cases, our team may recommend pruning back the tree instead of removing it entirely in order to save it while dealing with the issue. We can also provide advice on appropriate care for trees, such as fertilization and pest control. By having your trees regularly inspected by a certified arborist, you can identify and address any potential hazards before they become a problem. An arborist can also provide advice on proper pruning techniques, disease control and help you choose the right tree for your yard.  Regular inspections and preventative maintenance will ensure that your trees remain healthy, safe and attractive for many years to come.  By taking these steps you can
