Do You Require A Tree Disassembling Or Felling

The tree surgeons with whom we work are specialists in the correct dismantling of large, unsafe and difficult trees within restricted areas. They’ve felled trees in difficult places and are adept at manoeuvring through tight spaces.

A variety of tree removal methods may be used such as sectional dismantling, directional felling, specialist winch operations or the use of cranes. The technique they choose will depend on how much space is available.

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

This is useful to avoid any damage to property or persons, in areas where there is not a lot of space. 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.

The tree surgeons that we work with are extremely skilled in manoeuvring through tight spaces. They also use the most up-to-date rigging techniques to remove the trees safely from your garden.

To help prevent the fall going wrong, they will always use ropes and slings.

Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are often considered as being really sturdy and eternal, trees can certainly come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also can cause costly repair work.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The tougher decision is if some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the storm might present a future threat and may well need to be chopped down and removed to prevent placing property & people at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

  • Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or lean strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split under the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
  • Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow 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 strikes have a number of secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much increased risk to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
