Tree Maintenance - An Essential Responsibility

1. Tree Maintenance - An Essential Responsibility Every homeowner with a garden on their property understands the importance of maintenance, maintenance to all flower beds and lawns, but also maintenance to trees to ensure they look beautiful and do not pose a problem. Unfortunately, tree maintenance is sometimes about more than pruning, reduction, thinning and crown lifting. Sometimes you may simply be forced to approach a tree removal company in Aberdeen or wherever else you may live. Of course, this applies not only to homeowners, but also to the managing bodies of flats and apartment complexes, commercial spaces such as restaurants and shops, or trees lining the street in your neighbourhood, or trees in municipal areas. Trees are everywhere, and tree maintenance is indeed an essential responsibility of all property owners. WHAT DOES TREE REMOVAL REFER TO? Essentially tree removal refers to the act of removing a tree from a property, either because it is going to be replanted elsewhere, or because it will be taken out, cut into pieces and the pieces removed – if the tree cannot be used elsewhere. In both instances you need the input of a professional tree garden maintenance services company to advise you about the process, their rates and an indication of how long it will take. It has to be mentioned too that removing a tree to plant it elsewhere can become a daunting task and should never be considered to do on your own. Smaller trees may be easier to move to another position, but still, ask a professional opinion. CUTTING DOWN OF TREES – THE TOOLS To ensure that a good professional job is carried out, an experienced tree maintenance service team will arrive at your premises with the correct tools. These include, for example, power tools such as: •Chainsaw. This is one of the most important tools for the person that has to fell the tree. A professional tree services company will always have chainsaws with them, either those that are operated with electricity, or those with petrol. Some may even use a battery-operated chainsaw, but this is more unusual for big tasks. •Crosscut saws. These saws are more traditional and not always used by modern services. They are good for trees with wider diametres, and two people are needed to operate them. •An axe. A sharp axe is also handy when you are cutting down a tree. •Loppers. These tools remind of scissors and are used to cut branches. •Stump Grinders. This tool you will always find where professional teams are cutting down trees to remove them from your property. The stump grinder is necessary to grind down the stump that is left after the tree was felled; it helps to grind the stump right down to the ground so it can be removed too, just like the fallen tree. Additional tools that the tree removal team arrives with will include ropes to climb up to reach those areas where they will have to cut, and of course to help you pull down parts of the tree. You may also need a ladder, depending on the nature of the job. And let us never forget about safety. The tree cutter should always carry with them helmets, first aid kits, safety glasses and suspenders that will protect them should they slip and fall while in/on a tree. No professional team can operate without the correct tools, and clients are well within their rights to ask the service they are thinking of employing, what tools they use. Once the tree has fallen down, it is normally chopped into smaller pieces which are easier to manage during the removal stage. Stump grinding completes the task. In and around Aberdeenshire and other regions with many trees, the client is always assured of a professional tree cutting service to assist them.
