As
you can see from the photograph on the right, the root systems of
mature trees can be extensive.
Imagine
what these roots could do to the foundations of your house or garage,
if left unchecked.
Call

will give you. |

This
tree actually came down across a main road narrowly missing a car
and its occupants demonstrating the need for tree hazard recognition.
As a company, we carry out this type of work, ensuring that we document
and record all findings on an electronic database in accordance
with the current best practice. |

DIY
tree branch removal
If
you have any doubts about doing tree work, then don't do it. Leave it
to the expert Tree Surgeons.
Removing
fairly big branches from trees can be dangerous especially when your up
on ladders or steps. So make sure your ladders or steps are in good order.
Have someone with you to hold the bottom of the ladders while you carry
out the work. Never work in windy weather. Tie the top of the ladders
to the tree. One last thing, if its your husband that's going up the ladders
make sure you have him insured for a large sum of money! |
Don't
remove a branch with a single cut as the weight of the branch will
tear and damage the trunk
Follow steps 1 2 3...
1. Undercut to about half way.
2. Saw down until the branch breaks away.
3. You will now be left with a stub which needs to be removed. A
stump left on the tree will die and bring about a fungal disease.
Make a clean cut just outside the branch bark collar ridge to the
main stem, branch or trunk. That way the collar will have a chance
to heal over the wound!
Finally...
Once you have removed your branch & stump make sure the wounded
area were you have just cut is fairly smooth. |
