Is cutting down an old tree a good idea?

Removing an older tree often allows several smaller, younger ones to bloom. Younger trees also absorb more nitrogen than older trees, helping to clean the air and water of an ecosystem. Cutting down older trees also creates space for planting new young trees. There are many cases where removing a tree from your property can be beneficial.

Below are some reasons why you might choose to go ahead with cutting down trees. The tree in your garden may protect all the sun, making it impossible for you to grow grass or whatever ornamental flowers and shrubs you want. Cutting down a tree can instantly transform your garden from dark and covered with leaves to a bright space where grass will grow easily. A large tree that shades the south and southwest of your home can significantly reduce cooling costs in summer by up to 25 percent.

As long as the weather cooperates and you have called in time for a residential lot cleaning service, your tree removal projects will go off without a hitch. It may seem cruel to cut down a large, old tree if it doesn't pose an immediate danger or if it isn't dying. Each tree is home to hundreds of different types of insects, such as caterpillars and ants, that provide food for birds and other animals. If a tree drops a lot of leaves, flowers, berries, or other debris on your patio, roof, or sidewalk, you may be sick of maintaining it and ready to get rid of it completely.

It is not advisable to plant a tree directly on the stump of the old tree, whether it has been ground or removed. An arborist is often the best choice when it comes to determining how hollow a tree is, especially for taller trees. At the same time, raking patios when autumn comes can be tiring very quickly, and many paint jobs have been damaged by tree sap. When trees start to grow along the surface of the soil rather than on the ground, it can be a sign that the tree has trouble managing the land.

As mentioned earlier, trees provide a home for various plants and animals, all of which depend on each other for survival. If a tree in your garden grows on the roof, is too close to power lines, or interferes with the foundation, it may be time to remove the tree. Andersen suggests making sure that a qualified arborist examines any tree you are considering removing to ensure that it is actually dying or dead before removing it. If a tree has bothered you for years, despite your attempts to prune and shape it, you may be ready to uproot it and start something new.

Be careful to check the government's list of protected trees for your area before cutting them down.
