Huge, elegant trees shading your driveway or parking lot take a long time to grow, so if you have stately oaks or elms around your office, you likely aren’t eager to start thinking about commercial tree removal anytime soon. But there are a few times when commercial tree removal should be considered.
1. Hazardous Trees
The most obvious reason for commercial tree removal is also the most important. If you have a damaged, diseased, or dead tree that could damage your property or pose a safety risk to your employees or customers, you should arrange for commercial tree removal to occur as soon as possible.
2. Conflicts With Construction
Trees can become damaged in a number of ways, including through construction. If you are remodeling, you may think a tree close to your new addition, parking lot, or building will be perfectly fine, since it isn’t actually in the way. But avoiding the tree’s trunk by a foot or two doesn’t protect the root system. Even if you never touch the aboveground section of the tree, if more than half of the tree’s root system is damaged, it won’t recover and could become a hazardous tree, causing property damage at a later date.
If you know you’ll have trees too close to the construction area, you may consider taking them out before any building begins. This can give your construction crew a safer work environment and get you ready to polish your landscaping as soon as the construction job is finished.
