Safety is always a top priority when it comes to tree trimming and removal. Branches hanging over your pool or deck area can become a hazard, especially during and after storms or high winds. Limbs can and will break and fall unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to your pool, surrounding structures, or worse, endangering you and your family. Removing trees close to your pool helps reduce these risks, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
Trees near your pool can also create a lot of extra maintenance and cleaning that you have to do. Leaves, twigs, and other debris will constantly fall into the water, leading to clogged filters and skimmers. You will be constantly skimming leaves off of the water’s surface. By removing or trimming trees around the pool, you significantly reduce the amount of debris entering your pool, making maintenance a breeze.
Trees can also impact the temperature of your pool and its surrounding area. While shade may offer relief from the scorching sun, excessive shading can lower water temperatures, making swimming uncomfortable, especially during cooler months. By strategically removing trees, you can optimize sunlight exposure, ensuring your pool remains inviting and enjoyable throughout the swimming season.
Aesthetics also play a crucial role in poolside enjoyment. Overgrown or unsightly trees may clash with the look that you’re trying to maintain in your backyard.
Finally, tree roots can pose a hidden but deadly threat to your pool’s infrastructure. As your trees grow, the roots can extend far beyond their canopy, further than you can see. They can infiltrate underground pipes, causing damage to your pool’s foundation or plumbing system. By removing trees in close proximity to your pool, you safeguard against costly repairs and ensure the longevity of your investment.
