Most people in Burnaby do not like to lose any type of tree; unfortunately, there are some instances when tree removal cannot be avoided. It is common for severe winds, harsh storms and wood-boring bugs to cause significant damage to trees and in many situations, the damage cannot be repaired, which will ultimately cause the tree to die. When there is no sound or safe reason to keep the tree, it is valid, as well as necessary to have the tree properly removed. Here are some of the most common reasons why trees have to be removed.
Dead or Diseased
Healthy and lush trees are great to look at, but trees in Burnaby which are dead or suffering from disease are unattractive and they are usually a safety hazard. Tree removal in Burnaby for diseased trees is important for the protection of other trees and plants which are near the diseased tree, as the same disease may infect the healthy plants. As dead trees begin to decompose, the branches weaken and may fall during a storm, which can cause significant injuries to people and animals as well as cause damage to your home or property.
The Tree Becomes a Threat
Some trees can become a serious threat when they have rooted in areas with pedestrian traffic or when the roots have taken over the yard. As trees age, their roots continue to grow larger and larger, in some situations, especially when the tree is located close to your home, the roots can begin to grow in pipes and plumbing. If there are tree roots in the plumbing system, it can cause significant and expensive damages, including clogged drains and a backed up sewer system.
The Tree is a Refuge and Breeding Ground for Pests
Dead, as well as healthy trees can become a breeding ground for unwanted and disease carrying pests, such as beetles and rodents. Wasps and bees also tend to build hives in trees, which can be extremely dangerous for people, especially children. If the infested tree is within a few yards of your home, it can be a gateway for insects and rodents to find their way into your home, including termites and mice.
If you notice a tree may have a disease or is possibly dying, you should call an arborist or tree removal company, like Tree Works, as soon as possible. The sooner you catch the problem, the easier it is to possibly save the tree and avoid a tree removal in Burnaby.
