Tree Felling

This is when the tree is cut at its base and then it falls to the ground without damaging anything. This is only done in areas that are safe from any potential damage to property or others. 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 a lot of skill to cut down trees in sections. Starting at the top, the tree must be cut into manageable sections.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re usually considered as being really solid and timeless, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out 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 of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may present a potential hazard and might need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people & property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage creates a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally endure:

  • Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
  • Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much higher risk to drop even though it got through the initial storm.
