Trees are the most beautiful plant companions you can have in a yard or property. They serve many purposes, and ask very little. We’ve all enjoyed fruit, shade and beauty from trees, and maybe you’ve even had the pleasure of watching one of your own seedlings growing up into a mature tree.
But all good things must come to an end. Trees have lifespans just like human beings. Disease and disaster can also cut their time short. If you have a dead tree on your property, it can be a danger to nearby people, buildings and power lines. Some diseased trees can spread sickness to other plants, as well.
In short, the time may come when one of your trees needs to be cut down and removed from your property. But how can you tell when the time is right? The Parke Company has a lot of experience in this regard. We can diagnose the problem for you and remove the tree neatly and safely. If you want to do you own tree diagnostics before calling The Parke Company, here are a few signs that a tree is on its last legs.
- The Tree is Invading Others’ Personal Space. If your tree is encroaching upon power lines or water pipes, it needs to be cut back or removed. Similarly, if a tree is located too close to your house, it may be wearing out its welcome. Trees pressed closely against houses tend to promote mold growth on the wall area located in their shade. This mold growth, once established, can easily penetrate into the inside of your home, causing a dangerous and costly problem. In either of these cases, removal of the tree will prevent big problems later. Give The Parke Company a ring and we’ll come out to offer you a solution to your problem.
- Lots of Dead Branches. If your tree often drops large branches, or looks gnarled and unhealthy, chances are it needs to be removed or heavily pruned. Sometimes trees grow in ways that are not good for their long term survival. The Parke Company can help you decide whether to trim or cut down the tree in question. We can do all the heavy lifting, too.
- Signs of Disease. Trees that have discolored leaves, lumpy bark, discoloration, weird growths, or any other unusual characteristics may be diseased. Sick trees can fall suddenly, or can spread sickness to other trees nearby. Sometimes diseases are treatable, but other times it’s best to remove the entire organism.
Removing dead or dying trees can improve the appearance of your yard, and prevent future accidents. Most home insurance policies do not cover damage caused by falling limbs, so removing your compromised tree could be an investment in your finances and safety. It can be sad to say goodbye to a tree, but the Parke Company has a lot of options for new plantings. We can reduce your old tree to a stump in short order, and have your property ready for healthy new green life in just a short time.
