Trees provide shade, aesthetic value, and environmental benefits. However, in some cases, tree removal is necessary. Our team at Southern Charm Tree Care can assess if a tree needs to be removed from your property and answer any questions you might have about this service.
Here are some common reasons why tree removal might be needed:
- Safety Hazards: A tree that is dead, dying, or structurally unsound can present major hazards. At the same time, falling branches can cause damage to your property and vehicles, as well as personal injury. It’s also a good idea to contact us if you have an uprooted tree, as it can collapse during storms or in heavy winds.
- Disease or Pest Infestation: Diseased or pest-infested trees can transfer the problem to other trees. Some common issues that might arise come from fungal infections, as they cause the tree to decay from the inside out. Insects, such as termites and emerald ash borers, are also an issue since they can severely harm trees.
- Property Damage: Tree roots and overgrowth can cause problems with structures and utilities. Roots can cause cracks in foundations, sidewalks, and driveways, while branches can scratch roofs and interfere with power lines. In addition, overgrown trees can block sunlight and cause damage to fences and gutters.
- Poor Tree Health: A tree that is no longer growing may simply be taking up space. Our team can assess the tree in question to see if it has passed its prime.
