6 Signs It’s Time to Remove Your Tree

Trees are an excellent asset for several reasons. For example, trees provide shade and can even lower the inside temperature of a house if it sits under a big tree. Sadly, once trees die, they are no longer assets. Unmanaged trees can be dangerous because of falling branches from storms or unexpected weather. Whether you have one tree or a mini orchard, at A-Unlimited Tree Service,  we tell you if your trees are healthy and what you should do to care for or remove them. Unfortunately, some trees must be felled and sold as firewood or mulch. Serving the Edwardsville, IL area A-Unlimited Tree Service has the expertise needed to keep the region’s trees healthy and thriving. We offer tree trimming, lawn care, removal, and pruning.

We’ll also give all your trees a physical checkup and let you know if you need any drastic actions like tree removal. In the meantime, review our list of reasons you may need to remove your tree.

Dead Branches and Leaves

If you notice a lot of dead leaves and branches, you can see the first signs of tree issues. If caught early, issues such as a lack of nutrients can be corrected quickly with special fertilizer and pruning. Contact our team at A-Unlimited Tree Service if you think there’s something wrong and may need to remove a tree on your property.

Hollow Spots

Hollow spots in tree trunks are a sign the tree’s structural integrity is compromised. Hollow trunks can’t support heavy limbs so the tree must be removed for the safety of the people and other trees and plants nearby. You don’t want the tree to come down unexpectedly. It’s better to plan for the removal so it can be performed safely.

Storm Damage

Powerful storms can wreak havoc on trees. Even if a storm-damaged tree still stands, the damage it incurred means the tree could fall at any moment. Cleaning up after storms is a common occurrence in Edwardsville, IL. If you need some professional help, give our team of experts a call.

Leaning Trees Too Close to Structures

Trees can grow funny and start off going one way, eventually making the tree fall because the solid ground no longer supports the root structure. An arborist at A-Unlimited Tree Service can tell if your trees have too much lean. If your tree is leaning too close to a structure or power lines, it may need to be trimmed or removed for safety.

Tree Rot

Unfortunately, trees don’t live forever. Like every other living thing, they rot away when they die. Some dead trees can stay upright for years before they fall naturally. These trees should be cut down, especially if they are close to structures.

Tree Fungus

We see many trees with fungi and other diseases. Some can be treated, and others die completely and must be cut down. The tree experts at A-Unlimited Tree Service will tell you if your sick tree can be saved.
