Trees are among the best gifts of nature. They provide us with a lot of benefits including oxygen, fruits, logs, and timber. They also play an important role in keeping our watersheds. As such, let’s give paramount importance to propagating trees. However, in some instances, certain trees may do more harm than good, especially in urban settings. In these cases, it’s better to remove them. What follows are some reasons for the removal of trees in urban environments, which are done by companies such as those providing tree service in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
- Public safety
Public safety is the main reason why some urban trees are removed. Some of the trees can have structural defects that can be a cause of concern, or there can be signs that a certain tree is attacked by organisms that can result in its decay and consequently weaken it. The presence of conks and cankers are some of the signs that particular trees need to be removed by a tree removal service before they can cause big problems. - Severe weather
Elements of nature such as snow, ice, and wind storms may have a big impact on trees. Also, soils can be loosened by penetrating rains and along with strong winds, trees can be toppled. Lightning strikes produce so much heat that it vaporizes the water inside the tree which makes the wood split and the bark explode. Limbs and even whole trees are brought down by heavy snow and ice as well. - Natural death
Some trees die naturally. Natural death of trees can happen because of apparent factors like disease or insect attacks, bad site conditions, or changes in the local setting. Or, it can just happen for no explainable reason at all. Nevertheless, dead trees in an urban environment can result in future problems and need to be removed. - Municipal planning and construction
Some trees which are in excellent condition are pruned or intentionally removed to give way for infrastructure and construction projects. This may include trees next to utility infrastructure and those whose limbs obstruct sight lines along the roads, impede access to properties, or affect a development project.
