At Branch Creek Tree Services, we understand that though trees enhance the quality of our lives and add value and beauty to our property, in specific cases, tree removal becomes necessary. You may be required to remove a tree from your property due to security concerns, diseases or pest infestations, property development, or landscape changes. Although it may appear easy, tree removal involves various steps and people in order to guarantee that it’s done properly and safely. If you are looking for professional tree removal and maintenance services on the Sunshine Coast, we are here to help!

When to Call Our Expert Arborists Immediately

Disease and Pest Infestation

Various pathogens can cause weakness in trees, thus increasing the likelihood of their falling; for instance, decay causing fungi, sudden oak death, and anthracnose. Infestations by pest species such as longicorn borers, termites and lerp psyllid can cause tree degeneration or even death. In such cases, your tree needs immediate expert attention, which will help in either saving the tree or its removal if the condition cannot be treated.

Dead Wood

When you notice that a large section of a tree is about to fall off, it needs immediate attention from an expert arborist. Also, if a branch shows no signs of new growth in favourable weather, it is possible that the branch is dead and needs to be removed.

Imminent Failure

Although very rare, a tree that is about to fail or in the process of failing threatens grave dangers to individuals who are underneath it. These kinds of trees that look like they’re hanging by a thread or those that have already been broken can fall down at any time and unexpectedly, especially when someone is cutting the tree or pruning their tree. Falling trees may lead to serious injuries, including fatalities.

Proximity to Structures

Trees that stand too close to buildings, electrical cables, or other infrastructure could cause damage. For instance, roots can affect the basic structures, while sewerage pipes might be subjected to interference; moreover, branches can damage roofs or power lines.

Other Considerations for Tree Removal

Landscape and Aesthetic Considerations

In some cases, you may consider tree removal to reduce overcrowding in the landscape of your property and enable other flora to flourish. Also, trees that are not in line with your landscaping goals or aesthetic preferences may be eliminated from the property.

Property Development and New Construction

Removing trees could be necessary in order to build new buildings, roads, or any other infrastructure. Also, sometimes large parts of land may be required to be cleared of all the trees for agricultural purposes, residential, or business development.

Choosing the Right Tree Removal Option

Depending on your requirements, our expert arborist will suggest the right tree removal to meet your objectives. These include:

• Felling: This is done by cutting down the entire tree in one piece when there is plenty of space for it to fall without hitting anything serious on its way down.
• Pre-Cutting: Here, smaller branches and limbs are trimmed first before felling the tree itself; this will make it lighter and easier to handle the entire tree.
• Sectional Dismantling: This involves cutting branches or sections of the tree at a time, using an EWP or climbing arborist, so that the risks involved are minimised.
• Crane-Assisted Removal: This method entails lifting the tree with a crane when the tree is oversized, hard to reach or overhanging infrastructure. Large trees can be difficult to access and move; such issues may require mobile cranes specifically designed for arboriculture purposes.

Post Tree Removal Services by Branch Creek Tree Services

Once the tree has been taken down, our expert arborists can either chip the tree into mulch or cut it into logs for firewood, depending on your requirements. Once this is done, all the debris is cleared from your property, making your property clean and safe to use. If the tree’s removal has affected the soil in the area, our experts may take steps to restore it, depending on your specific needs.
