Signs That A Tree May Need To Be Removed
It can be difficult for homeowners and landowners in Illawarra to determine whether or not a tree on their property needs to be removed. The top signs that suggest your tree may need to be removed include:
Damage or decay
A tree that is decaying or has been clearly damaged is not only an eye-sore, it can be a significant health and safety risk. Decaying or damaged trees are usually unstable and may fall unexpectedly, making removal a safer option.
Pests
A pest infestation, such as an infestation of bugs, can be a sign that a tree is rotting and needs to be removed. Allowing pests to live in a tree can also encourage them to enter your property.
No leaves/growth
You can usually identify a dead or dying tree by whether or not the tree is able to grow leaves and if the bark is brittle and flaking off. If a tree is no longer alive and does not have any aesthetic or water retention benefits, it is a good idea to hire a tree removal specialist Illawarra based.
Debris
If a tree drops a high quantity of debris, such as sap and branches, this may be cause for concern. Tree debris can damage solar panels, parked vehicles and water storage systems.
Growth
Sometimes, trees can grow much larger than anticipated, press against windows and harm the structure of a house. It is usually not enough to simply trim the tree, as the roots of the tree will continue to grow. In cases such as this, removing the stump and totally removing the tree may be the only option.
Storm Damage
Trees that have suffered significant damage from storms or high winds, such as broken or split branches, might be at risk of further failure.

Tree removal may also be necessary if you are considering selling your property as a diseased or rotting tree can be an eye-sore and may prevent potential buyers from wanting to view your home.
