Do You Require A Tree Disassembling Or Felling

The tree surgeons who work with us are experts in the precise taking down of large, hazardous and awkward trees within cramped locations. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.

A range of tree removal techniques maybe used including the use of cranes, specialist winch operations, directional felling or sectional dismantling. It all depends on the available space as to which method they will use.

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. For large trees, however, this is often impossible due to the need for a lot of space for them 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. 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.

The tree surgeons that we work with have the ability to navigate through tight spaces and can safely remove trees from your garden using the most recent rigging techniques.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re usually taken as being really strong and permanent, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can lead to expensive repairs.

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is whether any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the storm might pose a future threat and may well need to be cut down and removed to avoid putting property and people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

  • Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or lean strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
  • Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
  • Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects including 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 considerably greater risk to fall even if it survived the initial storm.
