5 Reasons You Should Remove a Dead Tree

The trees on your property can increase its value or take away from its value. Trees provide shelter for animals, protect against the wind, provide shade, keep the soil intact, provide building material, and most importantly they provide life-sustaining oxygen.If you have a dead or dying tree in your yard, or several, there are good reasons to have the trees removed. You should call an arborist who lives and breathes the tree.

1. Dead or dying trees attract pests. Wildlife or pesky insects aren’t concerned if your trees are dead or dying. They’ll still build nests. A lovely family of blue birds may move in along with other tenants like termites and rats. Keep in mind that it’s only a short distance for them to migrate to your home for their nest in your trees.2. Dead trees are unattractive and can lower your property value. If you spend money on other things, like lawn maintenance, ugly trees will counteract those upgrades. They’ll stick out like a sore thumb.3. Disease from dead trees can easily spread to other healthy trees on your property. It’s very common for a powdery mildew to spread and develop on the branches and trunks of healthy trees. Leaves can easily lose their attractive and healthy green color and turn lime green or yellow.4. Dead or dying branches can easily fall and injure animals or humans. Falling branches can also damage property. When that happens, it’s time to call an arborist who’s skilled at removing dead trees and debris from properties.
