Tricky Tree Removal

-

Trees are an important and beautiful part of our natural landscape. They provide food and shelter for a variety of birds and other animals, have many environmen­tal benefits including improving air and soil quality and additional­ly provide pleasure and amenity value to those in their vicinity.

However, some trees, particular­ly larger varieties of tree, can become problemati­c in our built-up urban areas. Root systems can lift pavements and driveways, or interfere with foundation­s of buildings, leaves can clog gutters and drains, and there’s the risk of the tree dropping branches or failing.

When a tree develops problems, it is frequently difficult to decide when to remove it. Many factors such as the cost of tree work and even sometimes emotional ties to the tree can come into play. A tree that is in decline can continue to survive for many years but will always have limited or abnormal growth and appearance. Dying trees that are in natural areas, and do not pose a danger to property and people, can be allowed to die in place without human interventi­on. But hazardous trees that have structural defects, and that could potentiall­y cause injury to people or damage to property, need immediate attention.

At Beaver Tree Service we pride ourselves on having the knowledge and skill to assess, prune, or remove trees which are awkwardly located or are a threat to surroundin­g property.

Our arborists are experience­d at using rigging systems to safely lower branches and remove the trunk of a large tree in sections so that the tree can be removed without damaging any fences or buildings that are close by.

We can also work with you to find the best solution for any tree concerns you may have. Whether you require full tree removal, or perhaps trimming, pruning, or shaping your trees to extend their life or reach your desired outcome. Call us today for a free tree appraisal and an honest conversati­on with one of our Head Arborists.
