Tree Felling

This is where the tree’s base is cut and then the tree falls in a controlled way. This method is only used in areas where the tree is not likely to cause damage to property or people. It is sometimes impossible to remove large trees in this way, as they require a lot of space to fall.

Tree Dismantling

It can be used when there isn’t enough space to simply fell the tree. The entire process must be carefully guided to avoid any injury to people or damage to property. It is difficult to dismantle trees in sections. Starting at the top, the tree must be cut into manageable sections. Next, the tree must be safely and securely lowered to earth using lowering ropes, slings, or in certain cases a crane.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re usually considered as being sturdy and everlasting, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally will lead to costly restorations.

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The harder choice is if any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the storm may pose a potential threat and might have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing people and property at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Some other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage causes an unique prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not generally endure:

  • Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or lean violently while the lower part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
  • Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased risk to fall even if it got through the initial storm.
