If you have a landscape, you may have a few trees on your property. While trees are resilient, they require proper care from a homeowner. Your trees add value, clean the air, and provide shade. Professional tree workers help maintain the health of your trees and safety. Here are clear signs you need regular tree services soon.

Tree Illness

Look out for signs that your trees may be sick. Tree fungus can show up in the form of black or white spots along the bark. A sick tree bark may appear spongy, peeling, or cracking. You may also notice a powdery or white moldy substance on the leaves. With regular pruning and trimming, a tree professional can get rid of the diseased areas and save the tree. Otherwise, the illness will spread and eventually kill the tree. If there are other trees close by, a sick tree can spread that same illness to them. Then, you may have a landscape filled with sick or dead trees that can drive down home value and attract bugs.

High HVAC Usage

Are you worried about rising electric bills? If so, your heating and cooling costs may be the main culprit. However, tree services can help with strategic planting. According to House Logic, well-placed trees around your home can result in 30% fewer AC costs and 20% to 50% in heating costs.

Frequent Storms

According to Weather.com, some storm survivors have described the sound of a falling tree as similar to a bomb going off. If you live in an area prone to frequent intense storms, like strong hurricanes, trees may get hit by lightning or blown down by wind. When you have large trees too close to your home, it's best to remove them for safety. Once a tree has fallen due to a storm, you should call your local tree services for safe and prompt storm cleanup.

Poor Food Production

As seasons change, you may look forward to your apples, lemons, oranges, and nuts growing on your trees. Pruning can affect your fruit and nut yield. The right pruning can help your tree produce more fruit year after year. After all, professionals know exactly where to trim the trees without harming them. That care can ensure that fresh flower buds come back healthily. As a result, flowers and fruits will bloom in even greater amounts.

Large Roots Near Home

Be mindful of overgrown roots inching towards any structure on your land. If overgrown roots aren't handled, they can take your home off of its foundation. As a result, you may notice it's harder to open and close your windows or doors. Your floors may begin to warp, and you'll see cracks in your walls. This type of damage is expensive and time-consuming to repair.

Those same roots can also wreak havoc on your septic tank. A punctured septic tank is a health hazard as sewage will leak into your soil. If it continues, it can also contaminate your municipal water supply, which could result in fines. That water pollution will affect you, your neighbors, and local wildlife.

Roof Concerns

The last thing you want growing on your roof is moss. The shade from large tree branches hanging over your roof can create an environment that makes it easy for such growth to thrive. Large branches can also create damage by scratching the surface and making it easier for cracks to develop. If a large branch falls on that roof, it can dent it or cause shingles to break off. Regular trimming and pruning can stop these branches from getting too big.

Visible Stumps

If you previously chopped down trees on your property, you may have visible stumps. It's important to get rid of those stumps as they can be a safety hazard. Stumps are easy for you or other people to trip over and hurt themselves. Plus, stumps can make an otherwise beautiful and well-laid-out landscape look unsightly

These are some of the reasons why you should invest in regulatory services. These professionals can ensure that your trees avoid illness and premature death. They also can impact your fruit production. Service professionals can quickly remove stumps or the entire tree that's posing a danger.
