###### More about hiring an arborist

Before you cut down a tree next to your house, you must determine whether it’s under an easement. This means that the tree sits on your neighbor’s property. To find out whether a tree is under an easement, contact the neighbor’s property owner and explain your plans. Besides, trees need the right environment to thrive. If they’re in a bad condition, they’ll likely die.

Another issue to consider is the risk of the trees falling on your home. Although it makes for silly commercials, this scenario could lead to damage. If you want to prevent any damage to your house, keep the trees at least 15 feet away. This will reduce the risk of falling on your home and possibly even cause injury. If you can’t afford to cut down an entire tree, try trimming the branches that are at risk. Be sure to contact one of our arborists at macstreeservicejax.com to book your free consultation.

Trees can provide numerous benefits to your home. In addition to providing shade, trees also help keep the air clean. A good tree can help you reduce your energy bill as well. But trees close to your home can be dangerous, rotting, and even causing foundation damage. Make sure you get a certified arborist to perform the proper inspections. If it’s not safe to trim, you can always hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree for you.

Another important consideration when cutting down a tree is whether the tree has roots near your home. Many trees are close to your home, but there are some that can’t be planted there. For instance, white ash has fast growth rates, but if it’s too close to your house, it can grow lateral roots that can damage the foundation of your home. Besides, you can’t risk getting hit by an oncoming car.
