The Sustainable Side of Tree Felling and its Benefits

1. The Sustainable Side of Tree Felling and its Benefits Tree felling on a large scale can be detrimental to the environment as it often leads to deforestation. Destruction of animal habitats, the ruination of species, and a transformation of the landscape. It also plays a large part in global warming, as plants are responsible for creating oxygen and absorbing the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Although we need wood for construction purposes and items like paper, there is no positive argument to be made for large-scale deforestation. However, there are some cases where felling individual trees is better than leaving them be. And this is most often the case in urban or suburban areas. Tree felling describes the action of deliberately cutting tree, and it can be put to use to prevent the spread of disease or improve safety in a specific area. However, it is also dangerous work, especially if the tree in question is fairly large, and therefore it is always better for professionals to be called in to assist. Trees that are dead or dying, or that carry disease, can be a very big threat to the area they’re in. A dead tree or one that has large quantities of dead wood in its structure, won’t be very stable and can pose a very serious safety risk, especially in areas with high winds or strong storms. A tree with a disease may already be dying, but if not removed from where it stands, can easily transfer the disease to other trees in the area and that may mean the extinction of one or multiple species. The faster a problematic tree is identified; the quicker action can be taken to prevent any harm. This is why a professional service is the best option, as they are more likely to be able to catch warning signs of dead, dying, or diseased trees quicker. They will also perform a full analysis of the tree in question to ensure that felling is the best option, as it is, of course, the last resort.

2. On the other hand, a tree may simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time. A tree may pose a risk of structural or subsidence damage if its roots are growing where it may impact the foundations of a building, a sewage system, or water or drainage pipes. Certain species, especially alien species, have the propensity to snake their roots into man-made structures causing significant damage over time. In this case, a landlord, land-owner, or even an insurance company, may decide to take action and fell the tree before it has the opportunity to cause further trouble. Although trees are mainly felled for safety reasons, there are instances where homeowners may want to remove a tree for aesthetic purposes. This may be because the tree blocks out light or disrupts a view. Of course, many laws protect trees in urban areas, and if homeowners want to completely remove a tree, it is best to check with the local authorities whether the tree is protected or not. If it is, felling won’t be an option. However, even if it is not, felling may not always be the best choice. Removing a tree is a permanent decision, and trees add a great deal of charm and natural beauty to a garden or home. If a tree blocks out light or hampers a view, it is often a better idea to call in the help of a tree maintenance expert and have some pruning done. Proper pruning techniques can redirect the growth structure of a tree and open up views and let through more light. In this way, you’re avoiding the excessive costs of removing the tree and you’re making an eco-friendly decision that still keeps your needs in mind.
