Trees are often playing an important role in our lives. Often these grandiose natural structures are at the core of the most magnificent memories, of days of playing in their shade or swinging in their branches. It might be a beacon of where a loved one spent a lot of time before passing away. Thus, it can be hard to let it go once old age, rot and other structural damage are turning a once lovely tree into a safety hazard on your property. As it is never an easy choice to make, the team of specialists in tree care services in Aberdeen, SG Tree Services, sheds some light on the pros and cons of letting a tree go.

“Tree felling is often compared to saying goodbye to an old friend but it does not have to be all sad. Some of the benefits of letting an old tree go include opening some space in your yard. It also often brings some relief to the amount of yard maintenance your home requires and then, of course, you bring a solution to a safety risk. When a tree is at risk of falling over, it can land on other trees and even cause some damage to them, or when it falls onto your home, it can bring about huge expenses in the form of structural damage,” the team of experts emphasize.

While the situation is sometimes unavoidable, there are however also people who hold a very strong opinion against any kind of tree felling. This group prefers to highlight damage to the ecosystem by removing a tree. A tree is often home to thousands of little living beings forming a specific ecosystem. By removing a tree, you also remove a beautiful element of nature and once it is done, there is no way of reversing the damage left behind. Yet, as the

SG Tree Services team highlight, “you can always plant a new tree in the old tree’s place and prepare something beautiful for the next generation to sit under or to play in its branches.” Furthermore, they also state that nature contains both life and death and when a tree is dead or badly deteriorated, it is only a matter of time before adverse weather will destroy it anyway. By choosing tree felling, you can merely limit the damage this final blow will cause. Opting for tree felling to such a beloved part of your garden can almost be compared to giving an old friend the stately funeral it deserves.
