As much as possible, we all want to save these trees from getting cut down; however, some situations call for removing oak trees such as when they become hazardous and can compromise the safety of people and properties surrounding it.

For instance, in April 2019, it was reported that a historic oak tree outside the Volusia County Administration Buildings in DeLand was removed. It stood in its spot mightily for decades but had to be cut down after the fungus hexagonia hydnoides at away its life and health until it was beyond saving. Though removing this oak tree seems like sad news for the community, it is great to know that after cutting it down, a new oak tree will be planted in its place along with three more trees around the area. Part of the oak tree’s trunk will also be used to build a bench.

When you realize how tall can oak trees get, you’ll know that they can eventually get hazardous without proper maintenance. When there’s a hazardous or dead oak tree on your property, call Aardvark Tree Service for tree removal service. We also provide oak tree moss removal.
