Reasons to remove dead trees

Safety Hazard – first and foremost, a large dead tree on your property can be a safety hazard to your family and property. Dead trees are more easily blown over in wind storms. This can cause damage to soffits and larger trees can do structural damage to shingles and roof support systems. Rotting or brittle limbs can snap off and break windows or harm passers by.

Financial Burden – falling trees may also carry a financial burden. Not just for removal but if the tree damages a neighbour’s property or home you may be liable for the repair to their property as well as the removal.

Disease – oftentimes trees die from disease. The sooner you remove the dead tree the better the chance that the disease will not spread to other trees on your property. A common Canadian disease is Dutch Elm disease. Dutch Elm disease is a fungal disease of elms. The fungus is spread by a beetle whose larvae burrow under the outer bark. The damage eventually kills the tree and can spread to surrounding like trees.

Aesthetically Challenged – last but not least, dead trees are definitely not aesthetically pleasing. This is not an immediate removal issue but for the appearance of your property, especially if you are trying to sell your home, a dead tree is usually a concern, if not a deal breaker.

If you have a dead tree that you need safely removed give us a call at 403-293-3416 for immediate professional service.

3 good reasons to prune during dormancy

Winter is actually a good time to prune trees as most plants go dormant, meaning that they are no longer actively growing during this period. Here are a few reasons to prune during this time of the season:

  • Dormant pruning causes less stress or shock to the trees as it gives trees time to heal from the pruning cuts allowing for better recovery and hearty new growth in the spring
  • Pruning when all the leaves have fallen away it makes it easier to see the true tree shape and the best places to prune to improve the health and safety of the trees
  • Pruning in the winter reduces susceptibility to, and the spread of, disease since parasites, insects and bacteria are also dormant making it less likely that disease is transmitted during pruning
