It took a while for the weather to cooperate, but when the time came, all went well with excellent results. The crew removed a large water oak and a small trash tree. They worked well together and when finished, the job site was cleaned up nicely. They were friendly and informative. Neighbors were also impressed. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service.

What's The Right Time of Year to Remove Trees?

Trees provide a range of benefits to your property and the ecosystem. Whether it is enhancing curb appeal and giving shade or cleaning the air, the value of trees can’t be understated. However, sometimes tree removal is necessary, and knowing when you should call a trusted tree care company is vital. If you suspect an issue with a tree in your yard, Driscoll Tree Service is the go-to company for professional care and maintenance. We leverage extensive knowledge and experience to inspect, diagnose, and address the problem. Let’s look at telltale signs you need tree removal and the importance of working with an arborist.

Dying or Dead Tree

secondary

The most obvious reason to consider tree removal is if it’s dying or dead. Diseases and infestations often go unnoticed and overwhelm the tree until it dies. Although early detection can help salvage it, you need the proper diagnosis to avoid missing signs of deterioration. Many pests and diseases subtly compromise the tree’s health and overall well-being. However, an expert tree service provider can help determine the damage’s severity before recommending a viable solution. If a tree is severely damaged, removal is the best option to mitigate safety hazards and property damage.

Leaning

Trees can lean naturally depending on several factors, such as soil type, climate, and geography. Call a reputable tree care company immediately if you come home to a tree suddenly leaning towards your home, surrounding structures, or utility lines. We have seasoned arborists ready to assess the situation and pinpoint the cause to determine if it can be salvaged or if it should be removed. The last thing you want is to ignore an obvious sign of deterioration, resulting in costly repairs and safety hazards.

Damaged Tree

As mentioned, tree damage can occur for varying reasons, including construction projects, storm damage, temperature fluctuations, and vehicle impact. Cracks or splits in the trunk are noticeable signs of tree damage, and delaying maintenance can increase susceptibility to infections, infestations, or death. Damaged trees are safety hazards, especially during high winds or storms. Nothing is more frightening than constantly fearing a huge branch or tree in the yard falling on your loved ones or property. Even if you are dealing with minor damage, schedule an inspection with a tree service for removal or treatment.

Leafless Branches

Leafless trees at the end of autumn or the start of winter are normal, as it shows the beginning of dormancy. If a tree doesn’t have leaves throughout the year or during active seasons, there’s a chance it is damaged or dead. Common causes of leafless trees include lightning strikes, pest damage, old age, and an unsuitable environment. The safest option for such situations is tree removal, rather than letting them fall or compromising the well-being of healthy trees nearby.

A certified tree service provider can evaluate the problem and provide a written estimate for the entire project. Contact us at Driscoll Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our experts. We guarantee top-notch removal services at competitive rates.
