Trees are an essential part of nature and can add flair, colour and vitality to your garden along with improving the air quality around you and your home.
Like all living things, trees need nourishment – food, water and care. How established the tree is will determine how much ‘hands on’ care it will need. Trees that are in their infancy stage will need greater amounts of tending to in comparison to well-established trees which won’t require as much attention.
In saying all of that, all trees and gardens need upkeep and regular inspection of their overall health and condition.
Consider inspecting all trees in your garden - especially larger ones around your home - every week or so and without question after heavy rain or storms.
Whilst inspecting, there are important things to look for to ensure the tree is thriving and maintaining a good condition.
But what about if the tree is not doing well – do you know what to look for? Do you know when a tree should be cut down or removed? An arborist in the Northern Beaches can assist with tree removal in the Northern Beaches council area if there’s a tree that is deemed unhealthy or unsafe.
Here are some of the signs to look for when assessing whether a tree should be cut down or removed by Northern Beaches Arborist.
The Tree Is Diseased
This can be noticeable by usually apparent signs such as tree weakness, hollow branches or a growing number of dead leaves and branches. A diseased tree doesn’t immediately mean it should be removed – the first port of call is to assess how diseased the tree is by an arborist in the Northern Beaches who can advise you further.
The tree may be treatable and salvageable but if not, Northern Beaches Arborist can assist with tree cutting services or tree removal in the Northern Beaches council area.
Obvious Structural Damage To The Tree
When you look at the tree, if you see hanging or loose branches or structural branch breakages, it’s probably time to call an arborist to assist with the removal of the tree or specific affected branches.
Tree Or Its Branches Are Too Close To Your Home
Although trees may start out small, over time, they grow and may become very grand in stature resulting in the tree potentially getting too close for comfort!
It’s not only large branches overhanging your home which can be dangerous, the root system of a tree could start to unsettle the foundation of your residence. Many a time trees have been known to disturb underground piping and sewage systems, which is also costly and inconvenient.
Keeping a constant mental note of the size and proximity of any particular tree to your home means you can act proactively if a situation like this arises.
Tree Is Dead
A tree that is clearly dead and has no new life or green leaves should be removed or cut down by a certified arborist like Northern Beaches Arborist. Over time, the structure of the dead tree can become weak due to pest or insect infestations eating away at the tree, causing a risk of it falling.
Although you can get a pretty good gauge by looking at a tree on whether or not you think it should be removed, it should still be assessed by an experienced, qualified and certified arborist, especially if it’s a protected tree species. Northern Beaches Arborist can assist you with assessing and removing branches or an entire tree if it falls into any of the categories discussed above.
