When should a tree be cut down?
When should I consider removing my tree?
Internal degradation is indicated by vertical fractures, seams, dead branch stubs, and massive, older lesions.
When termites have hollowed out a tree, it must be removed. However, any damage to the main trunk usually demands the removal of the tree.
If the damaged area is less than 25% of the radius of the trunk, the lesion may gradually heal up with no permanent damage. If you want to save the tree, you should seek the advice of an expert.
Tree removal should be considered for any dead branches that could fall and cause damage to the property or be dangerous. Please contact a tree removal specialist if a tree is leaning.
How far should a tree be from a property?
Trees should be about 10 meters away from your house to provide the most helpful shade at a practical distance.

While trees may provide some shade for your property, which can aid in temperature regulation. However, trees can cause serious foundation damage by raising the structure.
