There are many reasons that a tree may need removal, but structural damage is one of the most common and dangerous ones of them all. Here’s why you should remove your tree if it has structural damage:
- Health Concerns: Structural damage can compromise the health of the tree by making it more susceptible to pests and diseases. It is best to remove the tree as soon as possible to avoid the spread of pests and diseases to other healthy trees nearby.
- Risk to Property: Trees with structural damage pose a risk of damaging nearby structures. Falling branches could cause extensive damage which leads to costly repairs.
- Safety Concerns: A tree with significant structural damage poses the risk of falling unexpectedly which can cause property damage, injury, or even loss of life.
