Most homeowners know very little about the tree removal Gold Coast
process and what it takes to safely remove a tree. There are an infinite number
of variables that come into play during the tree removal procedure. Every tree
is unique and requires a different approach. There are various methods of tree removal Gold Coast that utilize different equipment and techniques.
Tree removal
generally includes bringing the tree down to a stump, chipping or hauling away
the small branches and cutting the trunk into small sections. Stump removal
requires a separate machine, but can be included in the overall price. Roots
are generally not included in the bid, though some exposed roots near the stump
can be taken care of during stump removal. For an extra charge, the trunk wood
can be hauled away. Some services bring along a wood splitter and for an extra
fee will split and stack the wood.
When trees are near buildings, the tree cannot just be
knocked over and cut apart. Each end to be cut must be "roped down."
The climber ties a rope around the piece to be cut off. After cutting, the
section of wood is lowered slowly to the ground.
If trees are near utility lines, contact the local
utility company for an inspection.
Remove trees for many reasons. Property owners often
want to remove a tree when it is:
- Sick with disease or pest infestation. Removal helps prevent sickness spreading to healthy trees.
- Dead or dying. Creates a safety hazard for people, animals, buildings, or other trees.
- Structurally unsafe. Think large hollows, open cracks, large branch failures.
- Unattractive or "in the way." We may or may not agree with you here.

usually with a set fee per foot. The fee may vary based on the height of the
tree.

such, many companies will charge you an additional fee for hazardous tree
