When you are lucky enough to have trees on your property, you know how valuable they can be. In fact, we often get attached to the trees that beautify out landscape. Even though they are an essential part of any landscape, it is equally essential that you care for and maintain them properly. If you don’t there are some inherent dangers that are sure to follow. Arbor Improvements is here to talk about some of the dangers that come from neglecting the necessary tree care for your landscape trees.
Hazards of Ignoring Tree Care
There are some dangers that homeowners can experience when they neglect the trees in their landscape. Here are just some of the reasons why it is so important that you care for your trees properly:
– Injuries to People: Hands down, the worst thing that can happen when you neglect your trees is injury to people. The last thing any homeowner wants to do is have somebody get hurt on their property because they neglected to take care of their trees. If a tree becomes damaged or infested and hasn’t been dealt with, it could end up injuring a family member, passerby, neighbor and any other person that could be in the vicinity when the tree falls.
– Damage to Home & Property: Another significant danger that is present when you aren’t caring for your trees properly is damage to your home or property. When a tree falls, or even some of its branches fall, it can leave serious damage in its wake. This could include crushed vehicles, caved in roofs, holes in sheds and more. The emergency damage caused by a fallen tree can be significant and costly. If your trees are located close to power lines, there is a significant risk of a power outage as well as fire if the tree does end up falling on those lines.
– Legal Issues: When a neglected tree falls, you don’t get to choose where the damage ends up. This means, it could end up damaging your neighbor’s property rather than your own. As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to ensure your trees are not posing a risk to anyone else and their property. If you fail to do so, you could end up with legal issues on your hands if your fallen tree causes significant damage to someone else’s property.
– Damage to Other Trees: Some properties have several different trees found in their landscape. When you have one tree that has been damaged or neglected and ends up falling, it could cause damage to the other trees surrounding it. The last thing you want is damage to the other trees on your property.
