Avoiding Common Tree Mistakes

Building A Backyard Pool? Remove Trees In The Way For A Smooth Experience

12 June 2020 by Chiara Brun

If you own a home that you intend on living in for a long time, you may feel comfortable with taking on rather large projects such as building a pool in the backyard. When you have a large backyard, you do not have to worry about space being a problem with the installation. But, you still want to get help with analyzing the backyard to get rid of any obstacles along the way.

This makes it worth hiring tree service professionals who can give you a thorough assessment and handle all the planning and labor involved with removing any problematic trees.

Branches

In some cases, you will find that tree removal is an easy thing to decide on because a tree may be directly in the way, but this can get rather tricky when it comes to branches. If a tree has low branches, they may be a direct obstacle to the pool, which makes tree removal valuable. Another place these tree branches may get in the way is the pool fence.

Tall trees with branches that start at a considerable height may also be worth removing because these branches could be dangerous if they were to break off. While this is not a concern for most healthy trees, you may have a tree that is known for brittle branches that snap in the wind. You can play it safe by removing these trees to give peace of mind to anyone swimming in the pool.

Debris

Another reason why you may want to remove a tree that is close to where you intend on putting the pool is due to the debris it produces. Although you may not mind skimming the pool on a regular basis and using a robotic cleaner to help with maintaining cleanliness, you may not want to feel overwhelmed with debris.

If you are not sure whether the debris will be a major issue, you can ask for advice from a tree service company and they can give you an idea of how much debris you will need to manage.

Roots

Tree roots can continue to expand even after a tree has reached maturity, which means you cannot rely on older trees not causing problems later on. Hiring experts to inspect the trees near the pool will help you figure out whether root issues are a possibility. If you do not want to take any chances, you should remove the trees with a high chance of root expansion.

Investing in tree removal for problematic trees will help you have a positive experience when installing a backyard pool. Contact a company that offers tree removal services to learn more.
