So you’ve got a tree that needs removal – but where to start?
Is it something you could possibly do yourself, or should you engage an arborist in the Northern Beaches for professional arborist tree services?
Generally, the size and scope of the tree removal job will give you a good idea of whether you can or should take it on, or contact an arborist in the Northern Beaches. That along with your previous experience level in tree removals.
If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsure about any tree removal project, it’s best to contact an experienced arborist like Northern Beaches Arborist.
Today we’re going to discuss some of the steps involved in tree removal in the Northern Beaches council area.
Reasons To Remove A Tree
Firstly, it’s important to note why trees are removed.
There has to be a good reason to do so and if a tree species is protected, you may not obtain permission to remove the tree at all!
In most cases, even on your own property, you require formal approval from the Northern Beaches Council (or your applicable council) to proceed with the removal of a tree.
Some of the reasons why trees can and/or should be removed:
· The tree is diseased or dead
· The tree has loose or dangerous branches and poses a risk
· You need the space the tree inhabits for new buildings, landscaping or structures
The overall goal of an arborist performing tree removal services is to safely and efficiently remove the tree, causing as little as possible disruption to the surrounding vegetation and structures.
Steps Involved In Tree Removal
Although it can vary depending on the tree species, arborist tree removal services include the following steps:
1. Assess and inspect the overall health of the tree, its branches and the surrounding area. The arborist in the Northern Beaches needs to ensure that any obstacles, safety risks or hazards are identified and accounted for.
For example, adjoining houses or power lines could be in the way of the tree or branch removal. The arborist must be aware of any obstacles and map out a way to work around them safely
2. Formulate the most efficient removal plan, depending on the size and height of the tree
3. Set up a perimeter and equipment required, including removing any items that could be in close proximity to the tree removal and at risk of damage
4. Put on necessary safety gear which includes things such as gloves, climbing spurs, safety glasses, saddles, harnesses, a hard hat and chainsaw protection pants
5. Climb the tree using specialist arborist equipment
6. Cut branch by branch, with the fallen branches being broken down by a wood chipper
7. Cut remaining trunk – depending on the size of the trunk, in some cases, it can be removed by being cut into sections, piece by piece, which is the safer option when dealing with larger trees
8. Remove tree stump via stump grinding and removing any other waste left from the tree removal process
