Tree Felling

This is where the tree can be cut at the base and it will then fall to the ground without any damage. This is only done in areas that are safe from any potential damage to property or others. This technique is not always possible for large trees, as it takes 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 a lot of skill to cut down trees in sections. Start at the top of the tree and cut into manageable sections. Then, safely and under control, the tree is lowered to ground using lowering ropes and/or slings. In some cases, a crane may be used.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re generally taken as being really durable and eternal, trees may come to be at risk in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may lead to expensive renovations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The harder choice is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately injured in the storm can present a future threat and may well have to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing people & property in danger in several months or years to come.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the property to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

  • Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or sag violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
  • Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially higher risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
