Many Gold Coast tree removal services would recommend that before
removing a tree that they must inspect it first. How often a tree should be cut
or pruned can vary widely depending on the type of tree, its location, and its
age. It’s also hard to know if it’s time to remove a tree because certain
symptoms may not be as obvious to an untrained eye. Often times dead branches
could be a sign of a more serious problem that needs to be dealt with. This is
why experts recommend that you seek the advice of a qualified professional to
determine what is required to maintain the health of your tree or trees.
You don’t have to be an genius to spot many
potential tree problems before calling a tree services. Examine your trees
several times a year for the following:
·
Discolored
leaves and thinning in the tree’s crown
·
Roots
pulled loose from the ground and fungal growth on roots and main trunk;
·
Dead
and fallen branches more than two inches in diameter;
·
Deep
vertical cracks on opposite sides of the main trunk;
·
Sawdust
on the trunk from wood-boring insects;
·
A
trunk that noticeably leans in one direction and a branch canopy that is not
roughly balanced;
·
And
other unusual deformations and deposits on leaves, limbs or bark.
·
The
tree has structural problems, such as interior decay.
·
The
tree has formed a bad crotch
·
There
are cracks in the main trunk or leaders
·
The
tree is too large for its location and poses a danger if it should fall or drop
branches.
·
The
tree is in the way of construction or will be mortally damaged by heavy
equipment.
·
An
insect infestation will eventually cause tree death or spread to other trees.
·
There
is significant crowding among trees on your property.
Other reasons for tree work include eliminating the risk
to your house or to electrical or other utility wires from rubbing limbs or
precarious overhanging limbs; letting light and breezes more readily reach your
house, garden or lawn; and protecting foundations and drainage systems from
invading roots.
Experts recommend hiring a Gold Coast tree removal
service if:
·

·
The
tree is causing harm to other trees
·
The

Stump grinding is usually the final step in the tree
removal process. Typically, the tree removal crew will leave the remaining
stump 4-6 inches above the ground for the stump grinder to take care of. Stump
grinders come in all shapes and sizes. Some stump grinders have tracks and some
have wheels. Some stump grinding machines are operated via a remote control and
some are operated by handles on the machine. All stump grinders use the same
process for grinding. There is a rotating cutting wheel on the front of the
machine that has carbide teeth attached to it. Once the Stump grinder is
maneuvered into place the wheel will be engaged and the grinding will commence.
Lastly, ask about the company’s payment policy to see how much of the total
cost is payable upon completion of the job or later. Paying after the work is
completed gives you leverage to ensure that work is carried out properly and on
time.
