When do you need tree removal services? Well a simple answer to this is to get it removed before the worst happens. The question is how to detect the sign for getting a tree removed. If you have a tree and you see any of the below-mentioned signs, it is time to get that tree removed:

• If the whole tree or the most part of it is drying up rapidly.
• If the tree is unhealthy. Look for signs if the top of the tree or branches are dying back, or the trunk shows signs of decay.
• If the tree was damaged beyond repair during a storm
• If the tree is growing too close to or the roots are encroaching on your house, barn, electricity or utility lines or any such structures.
• If the tree is leaning in a dangerously towards your house, driveway, deck or your kids’ play area.
• If the tree keeps on dropping troublesome leaves, thorns, sap, seeds, cotton, or branches.
• If the tree is blocking sunlight and your view or is inhibiting your lawn to grow due to its shade.
• If you are planning landscape renovations that would damage the tree or the tree is blocking the space required for renovations.
• If the tree has structural problems, such as interior decay or has formed a bad crotch
• If there are huge cracks in the main trunk.
• If the tree is too large for its location
• If a disease or insect infestation has taken over the whole tree and may eventually cause tree death or spread to other trees.
• If there is significant crowding among trees on your property.

After the confirmed decision of tree removal is taken, another question poses itself: Whether to do the tree removal task yourself or to call a specialist? I say call the tree removal specialists.

Here are the reasons why:

1. They know the best: They can take one look at a tree and tell you whether your decision of taking it down is correct or not. Also, they are well aware of the hazards of the tree removal process and can warn you about the same. Tree removal specialists have an understanding of many different tree species in a multitude of situations. This way they prevent you from making any wrong decisions.

2. Saves you time and money: The tree removals experts have the right equipment to bring down a tree. So, it would be obvious that they would be faster and would thus save you a lot of time and hassle. Also, if you are doing it yourself, you may end up causing damage to surrounding property. This is less likely if the tree removal is done by experts. So, you save money that you may have spent in mending all the damages caused. In case the tree removal experts err and damage anything, their insurance covers it up.

3. Injury prevention and safety: While felling a tree, there are chances of mishaps. Tree removal experts take preventive measures and make sure that no such incidents happen. They ensure no falling branch hits a civilian and thus nobody would be injured.

4. A complete removal: You get the whole package of services. Not only they remove the tree along with the roots, they also leave no trace of the previously existing tree. After the task is complete, they clean up the whole area and make sure branches and trunks and leaves do not mess up your surroundings. They even cut up the branches and trunks into small pieces to be used as firewood.

It is fairly clear from the above 4 points that cutting down a tree all by yourself without professional help is not a good idea.
