Tree Removal Service

There are several situations in which it may become necessary for you to employ tree removal services in Asheville, NC- especially if the tree has become a hazard. In some cases, the tree has gotten too close to power lines, or the roots are damaging the pipes or foundation of your home. On the other hand, the root system may have been damaged by nearby excavation. The most common reason tree removal becomes necessary is because the tree is dying or showing signs of disease.

Signs that Your Tree is Dying

When a tree is dying, there are several things that will happen:

  • Large, dead branches
  • Fungus near base
  • Dead branches concentrated to one side of tree
  • Hollow sound when knocking on tree
  • Vertical cracks/seams in trunk
  • Sudden sprouts at base
  • Large, old wounds not healing

These are just a few indicators that you have a tree that is dying- there are others.

Don’t Put it Off

Sometimes, a tree gets to the point that you have no choice but to remove it. The tree may become damaged and create a danger to buildings, people, electrical lines, other trees, and more. If you catch the damage early enough, removing several branches may save the tree, but if the damage has significantly weakened the tree, removal is sometimes the best option.

If you have a tree that is showing signs that it is dying, avoid the “wait and see” mentality and contact B&B Tree Service to schedule your consultation. If you don’t address the issue early on, it could:

  • Allow disease to spread to your other trees
  • Compromise the structural integrity of the tree to the point of creating a dangerous tree

Plus, addressing the issue early will save you money in the long run.

Always Hire a Professional

Many times, homeowners want to try to save money by doing it themselves- but tree removals should always be done by a professional. At B&B Tree Service, we have the experience and expertise to evaluate issues in your trees and determine the best course of action. We will always be 100% transparent and honest with you in assessing the risks related to your trees, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of removing them.

There are several risks associated with DIY tree removal, including:

Tree hazards are difficult to identify

A branch may appear healthy but be rotten on the inside and break off when you put weight on it. Also, some trees are not safe to climb, so a professional tree service will use special equipment instead. Tree work is dangerous- even the trained professionals sometimes get hurt, so why would you even think about trying to do it on your own?

Tree trimming tools can be hard to use

If you don’t use them all the time, the tools to remove trees can be dangerous. Of course, it’s obvious that saws can cause harm- but ladders can too. People fall off ladders all the time and one misstep or distraction could be disastrous. The crew at B&B Tree Service uses these tools daily and has safety precautions in place to protect them when they are working.

Falling trees can be difficult to control

A simple search on YouTube will show you a plethora of videos of average homeowners trying to cut down trees with disastrous results. There’s more to cutting down a tree than cutting a wedge and eye-balling the fall. You can easily misjudge the angle and cause damage to your property or someone else’s. Tree work is dangerous and should always be left to professionals.
