Emergency Tree Removal

The wintery weather has set in and now is the time to start inspecting your trees to avoid emergency tree removal in Auckland. High winds and heavy rain can cause branches to break off and trees to fall. This can cause significant damage to the surroundings.

It is important to check your trees before and after winter and note any changes that have occurred, rectifying any potential issues. In this article, we will discuss what signs to look out for, why you may need a professional arborist and why you may need emergency tree removal.

The signs to look out for:

Many are not aware their tree needs removing until it is too late. However, there are many signs a tree can give you that indicate it may need to be removed or pruned. This can prevent the tree from causing any significant damage and requiring emergency tree removal.

Here are the main things to look out for:

• Decay or rotting – This can be a sign that your tree is becoming damaged from the inside and the structural integrity of the tree is being compromised.
• Overextended branches – These branches are horizontal or downward-facing. Foliage is often concentrated near the end of the branch. This can create significant weight on the branch and cause the branches to fall or break.
• Cavities– Holes in the tree can create significant weaknesses in the tree and can collapse. Depending on the location of the cavity, A1 Sure Services can engage in tree removal in the North Shore, Central Auckland, West Auckland, East Auckland and South Auckland.
• Restricted root zone– This can occur when a tree is placed in a location where its roots cannot grow enough due to limited space. The roots can therefore no longer hold the tree. High levels of soil saturation and wind can cause the entire tree to topple.
• Sharp bends – These often occur from poor pruning in the past. Sharp bends are naturally weaker and more likely to fall.
• Cracks – It goes without saying that cracks can become a significant problem. These cracks can only grow and cause further damage to the tree.
• Pests– Insects and pests can cause extensive damage to the tree. Depending on the progression, the pest should be treated or the tree removed to avoid infecting surrounding plants.
