Amersham Old Town Tree Felling Costs
The position of the tree and the degree of damage or decay typically affects the price of the service. For example, when a tree is close to a home, building or other structure, it must be felled in sections to avoid damage to the surrounding property. Dismantling the tree in sections is typically the best solution in such a situation, and there are specific costs involved with Amersham Old Town tree felling in sections. In contrast, when a tree is not located near any structures and poses no threat to the surrounding area, it may be straight felled with guided pulling ropes. There is a different cost associated with straight felling.
When Must a Tree be Felled?
There are a few situations in which felling a tree is a good idea. First, you should always fell dead trees, especially if they are near your home or other structures. Dead trees are weaker than their live counterparts, and a strong gust of wind could prove disastrous. Another good example involves diseased or damaged trees that cannot be saved. Diseases can spread from one tree to the next, and a damaged tree often becomes a dead one. A good Amersham Old Town arborist can tell you whether it's possible to save the tree.
What to Look for in a Tree Surgeon
It is important that a tree surgeon possesses and is able to produce upon request a current and valid tree felling license. The tree felling specialists on our network are licensed, reputable and able to perform services in Amersham Old Town and around the surrounding areas. It is also important that a tree surgeon perform a thorough check of the tree in question and the surrounding area to determine the safest method of felling the tree and to give the customer a final quote for the work. In addition, tree surgeons will come prepared with all equipment necessary to complete the job.
Getting a Second Opinion
If a contractor advises you to fell a tree before it causes significant damage to your home or property, you may be tempted to get a second opinion from another tree surgeon which is where our service comes in. This is advisable in many situations, especially if the tree is an old growth that provides ample shade during the warmer months. Losing such a tree could be detrimental to the aesthetic appeal of your property, and it may even increase your energy bills. A qualified tree surgeon may even be able to offer you other potential solutions prior to resorting to felling the tree.
Saving the Tree if Possible
Trees are important to the environment as they offer aesthetic beauty, provide homes for local animals and in some cases fruit, nuts and other foods for people. Our Amersham Old Town tree felling experts are dedicated to saving sick trees when possible. If there is a chance that the rotted part of the tree can be pruned away, or the tree’s disease can be eradicated, they will take that course of action rather than fell the tree. The most important thing is to make sure the tree poses no threat to people, homes, buildings and other property. Professionals possess the knowledge necessary to determine whether or not a tree can be saved.
Tree Debris Removal
Tree surgeons can remove felled trees from your property for an additional charge. Often, they’ll use wood chippers to take care of smaller limbs and branches, then use chainsaws to cut the trunk and larger limbs into more manageable pieces they can haul away in trucks. This adds additional work for the surgeons, and there are some fuel costs involved, so the costs associated with debris removal may be substantial depending on the size of the tree. Of course, you may also choose to chop and dispose of the tree yourself; just check local regulations and laws before burning the debris.
They helped find a suitable firm who provided a good standard of workmanship with good quality products. I would certainly recommend them. Thank you. Mr F. Amersham Old Town, Buckinghamshire
