Do You Need A Tree Disassembling Or Felling

Our tree surgeons are specialists in the accurate dismantling of hazardous, big and cumbersome trees within cramped areas. They can handle difficult situations, and they are able to navigate tight spaces. This allows them to keep noise and disruption down to a minimum.

A range of tree removal techniques can be utilised such as specialist winch operations, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or directional felling. The choice of the method will depend on the space available.

Tree Felling

This is when the tree is cut at its base and then it falls to the ground without damaging anything. This technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. For large trees, however, this is often impossible due to the need for a lot of space for them 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 takes skill to remove trees in sections. Beginning at the top, the tree is cut into manageable pieces. Finally, it’s lowered safely to the ground using lowering ropes or slings. Sometimes, a crane is used.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are often viewed as being sturdy and permanent, trees can easily end up being at risk in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally can result in expensive repairs.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The more challenging possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the storm can pose a possible future threat and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing property and people at risk in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction companies easy access to the property to start repair work on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage results in a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

  • Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to bend violently whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break underneath the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
  • Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially increased risk to drop despite the fact that it endured the initial storm.
