How Fast Trees Can Grow — And How They Can Quickly Get Out of Hand
Many homeowners don’t realize just how fast trees can grow until it’s too late. In Utah County, especially in areas like Mapleton, Spanish Fork, and Payson, fast-growing trees such as cottonwoods, willows, and Siberian elms can quickly dominate your yard. Some species can grow over 2 feet per year, and before long, they’re towering over rooftops, encroaching on power lines, or sending roots into foundations and sewer lines.
Without regular tree trimming, these rapid growers can become not just an eyesore but a serious safety hazard. Overgrown branches can snap in storms, damage roofs, or block sunlight to your lawn and garden. Underground, aggressive root systems can buckle sidewalks, invade pipes, and kill the grass in your yard.
Tree cutting or tree removal might be necessary if your tree’s size has become unmanageable or dangerous. Stump grinding may also be needed if you’ve removed a fast-growing tree and want to reclaim that space in your yard.
