Why Should I Have Tree Stumps Removed?

Published October 15, 2020 | By editor
Stump removal in Bunbury

When it comes to tree removal, it is not only the limbs of the tree that can be removed but the tree stump too. Some homeowners may think there is no harm leaving a tree stump in the garden and this may be true however it’s important to understand the pro’s and con’s of leaving a stump exposed once it has been separated from a tree.

Read on to learn 5 reasons why you should have tree stumps removed including:

  • Prevent fungi
  • Deter unwanted pests
  • Prevent a safety hazard
  • Make space available for new vegetation
  • Improve appearance of your garden

Prevent fungi 

Tree stumps that have been separated from a tree will begin to rot. As this continues, fungi can begin to grow in and around a tree stump. Fungus can quickly grow and spread, making its way to other vegetation. It also presents a safety risk to people.

Deter unwanted pests

Unwanted pests such as termites, bugs and rodents can make a new home in an exposed tree stump. These pests can also spread to other vegetation in your garden and even enter your home or nearby buildings.

Prevent a safety hazard

An exposed tree stump can be a safety hazard. Grass can grow over the stump making it not easily seen and a serious trip hazard. It could also damage your lawn mower if you happen to mow over it when mowing your lawn.

Make space available for new vegetation

Tree removal

Removing a tree stump provides a cleared space for new vegetation. Leaving a tree stump can prevent you from planting new trees nearby as the root system is still in place and in the way.

Improve the appearance of your garden

A decaying tree stump can be an eye sore in a garden. It can impact the overall appearance of your garden and could deter potential buyers or tenants if looking to sell or lease your property.

For this reason, it is recommended to only hire the services of a professional to have trees trimmed on your property.

Safety

The trimming and removing trees can be dangerous work. For this reason, safety is imperative and of the highest priority.

Use of specialised equipment

Each species of tree is different. For this reason, they often need to be trimmed and cared for differently.

What are the Warning Signs of a Hazardous Tree?

Published August 17, 2020 | By editor

Signs of a Hazardous TreeThere are numerous benefits of having trees in your garden or on your property including making oxygen, providing shade and being great to admire. While most trees thrive and grow in the Australian climate, it is important to have them regularly inspected to ensure they are in good health. A tree not in good in health can be dangerous and a safety hazard to not only you and your home, but surrounding properties too.

When it comes to inspecting, trimming or removing trees it is a job best left to professionals. Safety is imperative and tree professionals have the qualifications and expertise to correctly assess and diagnose trees and the equipment, experience and relevant tickets to safely trim or remove them.

Read on to learn a few warning signs a tree could be hazardous including:

  • Dead branches
  • Leaning to one side
  • Discoloured roots
  • Cracks in the trunk
  • Heavy foliage

Dead branches

If you notice branches are dead or showing signs of decaying, it could mean there is a disease within your tree making the branch at risk of falling. This can be hazardous especially if the tree is close to powerlines, a roof or fence lines.

Leaning to one side

When inspecting a tree from the ground, if it is leaning to one side it could indicate the tree may no longer be stable and is at risk of falling. Soil movement under the tree can also indicate the tree is unstable and at risk of falling.

Discoloured roots

Tree roots that have become discoloured and are now rotted, dark brown or black can mean there is a disease in the tree and is one of the signs of a hazardous tree. Diseased roots will potentially lead to the whole tree becoming diseased and dying off making it a high risk of falling.

Cracks in the trunk

Tree removed now

Cracks in a tree trunk can be caused by weather such as lightning. Cracks or splits in a tree trunk indicate there is weakness in the tree making it at risk of falling.

Heavy foliage

When visually looking at a tree, if you notice an area is producing more foliage than another, it can indicate there is a growth issue. If the branches with more foliage becomes too heavy it can cause branches to break and fall.

  • The Type of Tree
  • The Location
  • Ease of Access

The Type of Tree

There are many different species of trees of varying sizes, shapes and root systems. The type of tree stump being ground will help decide the best machinery and equipment to use to effectively grind the stump. When having a stump ground, it is imperative to ensure the roots are completely removed to stop the tree growing back over time.

The Location

Removing tree stumpsThe location of a tree stump and its surroundings must be considered before a stump is ground. This includes buildings, fences, underground services and plumbing pipes. If a stump is bordering on a neighbouring property, neighbours may need to be informed as access to their property may be required.

3 Signs a Tree Needs to Be Trimmed or Removed?

Published April 15, 2020 | By editor

Trees by the roadWith winter approaching it’s a good time to check the health of the trees on your property. With winter comes strong and gale force winds and lightning storms, checking trees on your property now enables you to have trees that are unsafe or could cause damage to your property, trimmed or removed before winter arrives.

What are the signs a tree on your property needs to be trimmed or removed? Read on to learn a few signs to look out for including:  

  • Overhanging branches
  • A tree is leaning to one side
  • Damage to the tree’s trunk

Overhanging branches

Tall and lush trees provide a great view and plenty of shade during summer. However, a tree that has grown very tall and now has overhanging branches can be a risk in winter. If branches are overhanging onto a home, an outdoor space such as a patio or shed, near windows, vehicles or even where people walk or stand then it is a good idea to have them trimmed. In some cases, strong and gale force winds can cause entire trees to be uprooted causing extensive structural damage to your home. The removing or pruning of trees and overhanging branches is a job best left to a professional who has the expertise and equipment to ensure trees are trimmed or removed safely.

A tree is leaning to one side

If a tree on your property has a slight lean to one side, this can be normal. After all, trees often don’t grow straight up and down. However, if you notice a tree is now leaning more than normal, it’s time to call in a professional to work out why. If you can see a leaning tree’s roots around the base or a leaning tree has soil accumulating on the side opposite the lean, it is likely the tree is unstable. A leaning tree should be inspected by a professional. It may not have to be removed, rather pruned and re-stabilised to help redistribute the trees weight evenly again.

Damage to the tree’s trunk

Tree being cut downWhen checking trees on a property it is important to check the trunk and base of a tree too. Visible cracks and splits in a tree’s trunk, fungus around the stump or splitting or peeling of branches are all signs a tree can be damaged. While as a homeowner you may identify these warning signs, a professional has the knowledge to identify the cause of the damage and if the tree needs to be trimmed or removed or can be bought back to good health.
