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. It is sometimes impossible to remove large trees in this way, as they require a lot of space to fall.
Tree Dismantling
It is used when space is restricted. All debris must be directed down so as to not cause any property damage or injury to others. It takes a lot of skill to cut down 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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees
Though they are usually considered as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.
How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will result in expensive renovations.
The toughest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether or not some of the trees still standing are salvageable.
Some trees that have been partially injured in the storm might present a potential risk and may well need to be cut down and took away to avoid putting property & people at risk in months or years to come.
Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.
Various Sorts Of Storm Damage
Every one of these kinds of damage leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.
There are essentially six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:
- Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much greater danger to drop even though it survived the initial storm.
