We get it. Tree removal isn’t the most exciting thing on your to-do list. But here’s the thing: putting it off might actually make things worse. When trees are damaged, diseased, or simply too old, they can become a real headache if left unchecked. We’ve seen it time and time again in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas — homeowners delay tree removal, and then they find themselves facing unexpected costs, and sometimes emergency tree removals, that could’ve been avoided. Don’t wait until it’s too late—our tree removal services in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas can help you prevent costly surprises and keep your property safe.
At Primetime Tree & Landscape, we know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but taking care of those trees now can save you a lot of hassle (and money) down the road. Here’s why it’s worth addressing tree removal sooner rather than later:
1. The True Cost of Delayed Tree Removal
If you’re waiting until the tree falls or starts to cause damage, you might be looking at a much bigger problem than just tree removal. Dead or unhealthy trees can cause serious damage to your property, including:
-
Roof damage from falling branches.
-
Power outages when branches interfere with electrical lines.
-
Structural damage to your driveway, foundation, or fences from roots spreading too far.
When you delay removing a tree, the cost of dealing with these damages can far exceed the price of removing the tree in the first place. And let’s face it, no one likes surprise expenses. It's better to be proactive!
2. Emergency Tree Removal and Its Costs
In Pittsburgh, we get some serious storms, especially in the spring and fall. If a tree that’s been hanging on for too long finally comes down in the middle of a storm, you’ll be looking at emergency tree removal costs, which do tend to be higher due to the nature of the emergency. The rush to get the tree removed quickly, plus the use of specialized equipment to deal with debris, all adds up.
Emergency tree removal also often involves dealing with additional hazards like fallen power lines or trees blocking roads, making it a much more complicated and expensive process. By removing trees before they become a storm hazard, you save yourself the expense and stress of emergency services.
3. How Waiting Leads to Bigger Problems
Sometimes a tree might look fine from the outside, but inside, it’s a different story. Disease, decay, and pest damage can sneak up on you. What might seem like a healthy tree could actually be weakening and setting itself up to become a safety hazard.
Neglecting to inspect and remove these trees can result in fallen trees that damage not just your property, but your neighbors’ as well. When you wait, you’re increasing the risk of needing more expensive repairs or even dealing with insurance claims. When we come out and give you your free estimate, these are all details we look at to give you the best quote possible.
4. The Benefits of Preventative Tree Removal
Being proactive with tree removal is always the better choice. Not only does it keep your property safe, but it can also improve the look and health of your landscape. Removing a dangerous tree before it falls helps protect:
-
Your property and investment: Keep your home, driveway, and other structures safe from tree damage.
-
Your landscaping: By removing unhealthy trees, you make room for healthier growth and more beautiful landscaping.
-
Your peace of mind: Knowing that you’re in control and keeping your property safe from harm is priceless.
