I had a large oak tree taken down near power lines and an outdoor kitchen. I was well informed about the work they were going to do and how long it should take. The team was professional, fast and dropped the tree safely. They used a bucket truck and climber to trim branches from the top half of the tree with no damage to the yard around the tree.  I am extremely pleased with Driscoll Tree service work.

Michael came out to evaluate some trees I had with a questionable fungus on them, and ultimately the course of action was removal for a select few. He got me an estimate for the removal within a matter of days. They had the most competitive prices out of the other estimates I got. Michael is a very knowledgeable Arborist and you can tell he is passionate about his work. He wasn't pushy at all about the removal like some of the other companies I had come out, and he advised me on doing it in "phases" to fit my budget. The actual tree removal and stump grinding itself was so smooth and all the workers that came with the crane and stump service were very professional and communicative about what the process was going to be.

Tree Removals for Pool Construction 

Installing a pool in your backyard is an exciting project, especially when you have countless hours of relaxation, fun, and exercise to look forward to. However, the journey from planning to the first swim often involves more than just choosing a suitable design. One critical and frequently overlooked aspect is managing the surrounding trees. While trees enhance curb appeal and the overall quality of your backyard, they create several challenges if they grow too close to pools. Driscoll Tree Service provides professional tree removal services in such scenarios to ensure a smooth and hassle-free pool construction process. Let's explore common reasons to eliminate trees around your pool for more informed decisions.

Preventing Root Damage

secondary

Trees have extensive root systems that can spread far and wide, often causing significant damage to nearby structures. Swimming pools are no exception, as the roots can compromise the foundation, risking the overall structural integrity. Roots can penetrate and crack the pool's walls and flooring, causing leaks and costly repairs. Professional arborists can identify and safely remove trees whose roots could potentially jeopardize the structural integrity of your pool.

Eliminating Leaf Debris

Trees, especially those with broad leaves, shed continuously throughout the year. If such trees grow near your pool, the fallen leaves can accumulate in the water, clog filters, and require frequent cleaning. This increases maintenance calls to a tree care company and strains the pool's filtration system, reducing its efficiency and lifespan. By opting for professional tree removal, you can minimize the constant battle against leaf debris, keep your pool clean and reduce maintenance costs.

Avoiding Insect Infestations

Trees are a haven for insects, including bees, wasps, and ants, which can become a nuisance and even pose safety risks around the pool area. In addition, fallen leaves and decaying wood attract pests, creating an uncomfortable and potentially hazardous environment. Tree service experts can recommend removal to eliminate the habitats that attract and harbor these insects. This goes a long way to ensure a safer and more enjoyable poolside experience.

Enhancing Sunlight Exposure

Sunlight is vital in maintaining a pleasant and usable pool environment. Trees that overshadow the pool area can significantly reduce the amount of the sun reaching the water, making it cooler and less inviting for swimming. Also, lack of sunlight can promote the growth of algae and bacteria, which thrive in damp and shaded areas. Hiring arborists to remove trees that block sunlight can enhance the pool's temperature and water quality, providing a more comfortable and hygienic swimming experience.

Preventing Falling Branches

Trees with large, overhanging branches pose a risk of falling debris, especially during storms or high winds. These branches can damage the pool's surface poolside furniture, and even pose a danger to swimmers. Tree service experts can ensure unstable or dangerous branches are safely pruned or removed, preventing potential accidents and damage to your pool area.

While trees add aesthetic value and shade to a backyard, their proximity to a pool can create multiple challenges, from root damage to increased maintenance needs. Professional tree removal services are crucial in addressing these issues, ensuring a safe, efficient, and hassle-free pool construction process. Contact us at the Driscoll Tree Service and take a proactive approach towards managing the trees around your pool area. Our tree care company works with you to enhance the longevity and enjoyment of your new backyard oasis, making it a more pleasant and inviting space.
