Have you ever thought about what would happen if you cut down a tree near you? The tree in my yard used to get so close to the house that I could hear the bird song come out of it each time I walked past it. It was an eyesore and did not look very appealing. So I did something about it and now the tree is trimming itself on its own and saving my birds from having to listen to me complain every time I pass by.
Another tree right next door cut down a bird who lived just over my fence. Apparently this bird liked to hang out at my gate. Apparently this particular tree also likes to hang out in my neighbor's yard as well. Unfortunately, it is starting to cause problems because of the bird's constant flights into and out of my neighbor's yard. I am now getting a lot more irritated by these things and I am starting to take more measures to prevent them.
There are some trees that do not need to be cut down. A tree that has buds or leaves that grow close to a road or street is one of these species. A good example of this is a tree that is near a playground. Any road or playground will love these trees because they help protect playground equipment from falling on kids.
But I am starting to think that a tree that is growing so close to a home and the family's property should be removed. Not only does it hurt the neighbors when the tree is crashing through their windows on a regular basis but it also damages the home. Does the owner of the home have a problem with the tree? If they do I will be sure to tell them. There are two ways that I know of that can be taken to make sure the tree is not harming the home. One method involves cutting off the top portions of the tree and using a hammer to remove the dead parts.
The second method involves using chains and removing the entire tree. This can be quite tricky because some of the branches of the tree can be quite large. If you are unsure about how to perform the method safely it would be wise to get some help. Even if the chain method does not damage the home, there is still the possibility of hurting someone or damaging property if the chain is caught on anything.
Trees do not always fall due to a storm or tree-eating animals. They can also fall because they are diseased. It is important to take this into consideration when having your tree removed. Some of the diseases that can affect trees include birch viruses, fungi, mold, mildew and a few others. It is also important to be aware that tree felling can increase insurance premiums and that if a tree is damaged or killed, nearby homes could also suffer damage.
