Trees are living beings that are very important in the lives of human beings. Slowly, they have a major impact on them, often without us taking full measure of it.
For example, through photosynthesis, trees store carbon, but also other chemical compounds in the air. So they are outstanding purifiers. During the extreme heat of the summer, we all enjoyed the refreshing effect of relaxing under the shade of the foliage. When the trees are well arranged and when they are sufficiently haughty, they can shelter us from the wind. They are also great contributors to the fight against soil erosion, the phenomenon of subsidence or impoverishment.
Trees are of course the centrepiece of many landscapes that we never tire of admiring or in the beautiful landscaping of a quiet corner designed by a talented owner. Hedged, they form a boundary of intimacy between properties. When their antlers are big enough, birds come to protect themselves, to frolic and to sing. By their presence in a carefully thought-out assortment that they help to compose, trees also increase the value of a property.
For this reason, tree felling should only be used as a last resort. So when is it appropriate to cut down trees? You will find some answers in the following.
Dead tree
There is one situation where felling is imperative, namely when the tree is completely dead. To tolerate it on the spot under these circumstances is dangerous. It may collapse suddenly or someone may bump into the plant and cause one of its branches to fall off or it may fall without warning. The risk of injury or even death is real.
If you get lost in a lot of guesswork, know that all you'll get is more trouble. Dead wood attracts insects and fungi... these are sources of trouble you want to avoid, rest assured.
Uprooted trees
Sometimes the winds uproot the trees. What future awaits them, one wonders then? It is not possible to predict it. They may or may not survive. The most common situation is having to cut down a tree. Even if the idea is upsetting.
