While trees are beautiful additions to properties here in Michigan, there are some instances when they will need to be removed. Some common situations where you may want to remove a tree from your property include if the tree is touching a power line or if it's severely damaged, infested with insects, or suffering from a disease. If you have a tree that is leaning over your home or business and could potentially fall on it, or if it's in the way of a new construction project, then these are also good reasons to have it removed. Continue reading this blog to learn more about the situations that could require you to remove a tree from your property.

Remove a tree from your property if it's touching a power line.

If a tree on your property is touching a power line, it should be removed right away. That's because if branches grow into power lines, it could result in power outages as well as cause sparks, which could result in the tree, or something nearby catching on fire. Also, if anyone happens to be standing close to the power lines when sparks start flying, there's a chance they could be electrocuted. So, if a tree on your property is touching a power line or getting close to it, you should hire professionals to remove it right away!

Remove a tree from your property if it's severely damaged, infested with insects, or has a disease.

If you notice that one of the trees on your property is severely damaged, you'll want to remove it for safety reasons because it is compromised and could fall over. Another reason to remove a tree from your property is if it is infested with insects or is suffering from a disease. That's because these issues could not only compromise its strength and put it at risk of falling, but these problems could spread to other trees, so it's best to nip it in the bud by removing the infected or infested tree ASAP.

Some common tree diseases that affect trees here in Michigan include tree rust, leaf spot, anthracnose, needle case, tip blight, and more.

Remove a tree from your property if it's leaning and could potentially fall onto your home or business.

Leaning trees can be a dangerous hazard for both your home or business and people who are nearby. If you notice that one of the trees on your property is leaning towards your building, you will want to have it removed as soon as possible. That way, it doesn't end up falling onto your home or business, causing extensive damage.

Remove a tree from your property if it's in the way of a new construction project.

While trees are beautiful additions to most properties, they sometimes get in the way of new construction projects. If you plan on having something constructed on your property, you will likely want to remove any trees that are directly in the way of the project. Doing this will allow the project to be completed without any problems.
