While trees are beautiful, ignoring their maintenance can come with a lot of issues such as high costs. Neglecting to cut or maintain your trees can lead to hidden costs. Here’s why it’s important to take care of your trees:
- Increased Liability Risks: You could be held liable if your neglected tree injures someone or damages their property.
- Increased Costs of Delayed Maintenance: Ignoring your trees seems like it may be a cheaper option, but it can actually lead to high future costs. For example, dead branches may seem like a minor issue, but can quickly become a bigger problem. Whatever disease killed those branches could spread to the rest of the tree and kill it leading to a costly removal.
- Risk of Property Damage: Letting hazardous trees stand allows the potential for property damage. Dead branches can snap during a storm and cause damage to your home or vehicle. Even worse, a tree could fall on your home and cause damage.
