A great many of the trees put forward for tree removal turn out to be fixable with trimming, and we say so when that is the case. Hearing that your tree is worth keeping is a perfectly ordinary result of the free visit.
Tree removal becomes the answer in three cases. The tree is dead. Or it has a fault in its structure that no amount of cutting will correct. Or it was the wrong species for that spot from the day it went in.
Four conditions normally point toward tree removal:
- Dead outright rather than struggling, which describes almost every ash left here - Rot low in the trunk, usually with fungus showing at ground level, well beyond the reach of tree trimming - A fork that has opened and is continuing to open - Ground broken or raised along one side of the trunk, which means the roots have shifted
Spotting even one is reason to call. Someone will assess the tree, say honestly whether a tree removal is warranted, and confirm it on paper.
On shallow ground, a tree removal usually follows a lean, because a tree that has started to tip has already broken the roots on the windward side. Those roots do not reattach.
Once the plate has moved, the tree is being held up by whatever remains on the other side. Crown reduction lowers the load but cannot restore the anchorage, so tree removal is normally the safe answer.
A dead ash tree removal gets harder every year, because after a few years an ash is no longer safe to climb. The timber gives way at the branch joints, and those joints are precisely the points a climbing rope depends on.
With climbing ruled out, the tree removal has to happen from a bucket truck or under a crane. That machinery adds to the cost, and every further year standing removes another cheaper option.
Deciding on a tree removal is straightforward enough. What goes back in after the tree removal is easiest to agree while somebody is still standing in the yard.
Shallow ground over clay favours trees that cope with damp and stay modest in size. Put the replacement in during the fall, water it across two summers, and site it clear of fresh chips, since decaying chip pulls nitrogen out of the surrounding soil.
