As a homeowner, there are several things that you need to do to care for and maintain your property. Most homeowners have trees located throughout their landscape design to add beauty, shade, and adversity to their landscape. The trees in your landscape are just one more thing that needs to be added to the maintenance list for your house. Failing to do so, can result in some serious dangers. Treecraft Tree Service is here to talk about some of the dangers that come from failing to maintain and care for your trees.

Why is it Important to Maintain Your Trees?

Failing to care for and maintain your trees can put your home and yourself at risk of several inherent dangers. Here are just a few of the most significant dangers that trees can pose when they are not properly cared for:
– Personal Injury: The last thing that you want as a homeowner is for somebody to get injured on your property. Most people want to ensure that those that they love are always safe. However, failing to take care of your trees can lead to personal injury. We aren’t only talking about injuries to your family either. Those passing by can also be injured should your tree or part of your tree all of a sudden fall. Proper tree maintenance helps eliminate the risk of personal injury due to a falling tree.
– Property Damage: when trees are not healthy, they also pose a risk to your property. If a tree were to fall, it can cause significant damage to your home, any other buildings on the property, vehicles, any fences and any other structures that are nearby. If there are any power lines near your trees, it can cause fires and large power outages in the area as well. All of this can be avoided with some professional maintenance.
– Legal Problems: Often, the trees on someone’s property don’t fall within the homeowner’s property bounds. This can lead to significant property damage to your neighbor’s property as well. Not only can their property be damaged by your trees, but personal injury can happen as well. All of these issues and dangers can pose legal problems for you as the homeowner. It is your responsibility to ensure your trees are being properly cared for and don’t pose a risk to others around.
– Damage to Other Trees: Most homeowners don’t only have one tree on their property. This means, that when one tree falls due to damage, it can often leave other trees damaged as well. When this happens, homeowners are often faced with removing more than one tree.
