Trees bring life, shade, and beauty to our surroundings but when they’re left to grow unchecked, they can quickly become more of a hazard than an asset. Overgrown branches, tangled roots, and dense canopies may seem harmless at first, but they can lead to serious problems, from property damage to safety risks. That’s where arborist services come in.
At Jordans Tree Services, we specialise in providing top-tier arborist services designed to protect your trees, your property, and the safety of your home.
What Are Arborist Services?
Arborist services include the professional care and maintenance of trees by certified arborists — specialists trained in the art of planting and maintaining trees. These services are:
- Tree pruning and trimming
- Disease diagnosis and treatment
- Tree removal and stump grinding
- Emergency storm damage response
- Tree health assessments
- Planting and transplanting advice
Hiring certified arborists ensures that your trees are not only attractive but also healthy and structurally safe.
Why You Should Hire an ArboristÂ
Many homeowners are tempted to handle tree care themselves. However, without proper knowledge and equipment, this can lead to poor tree health, safety risks, or even legal issues if property damage occurs.
Here are three reasons why investing in professional arborist services is a wise decision:
1. Healthier Trees, Longer Life
Certified arborists understand what different species of trees need to thrive. From proper soil management to pest control and pruning techniques, they can diagnose issues early and apply proper treatments, preventing disease and decay.
2. Safety First
Dead or overgrown branches can turn into serious issues during bad weather days. Professional arborists are trained to identify potential risks and get rid of them safely. Whether it’s a large tree near a power line or limbs hanging over your roof, Jordans Tree Services have the right tools and expertise to handle it.
3. Increased Property Value
Well-maintained trees not only look great but can also increase property value by up to 15%. A properly pruned tree adds aesthetic value, while diseased or dying trees do the opposite. Professionals help ensure your landscape remains an asset, not a liability.
What Happens When Trees Are Left Unchecked?
When trees grow without proper tree pruning or monitoring, several issues can arise. Some may seem minor at first, but they can quickly escalate into costly or dangerous problems. Common risks of overgrown trees include:
1. Structural Damage
Tree roots that grow unchecked can break through concrete paths, disturb plumbing systems, or crack house foundations. Overgrown branches can also scrape against roofs, windows, and gutters, leading to leaks or breakage over time.
2. Power Line Hazards
One of the most dangerous situations is when tree branches get too close to overhead power lines. This not only increases the risk of power outages but also poses serious fire hazards, especially during dry seasons.
3. Blocked Sunlight and Poor Air Circulation
A tree that grows too densely can block sunlight from reaching other plants or even your home, affecting garden growth and indoor light. Thick canopies also limit air passage, which can promote fungal growth and disease in the tree.
4. Pest and Wildlife Infestations
Overgrown trees often become homes for pests like termites, ants, and rodents. These unwanted guests can eventually make their way into your home, leading to infestations that are much harder (and more expensive) to treat.
