One of the major tasks that can take up a professional tree surgeon's time is the
removal of trees from gardens or parks or indeed almost any type of environment. Because of the variety that can be involved in this type of work it is just as well that most tree surgeons have several skills they can call upon. This article looks at the different techniques a tree surgeon might use.
Emergency Work
Perhaps the most dramatic type of work that a tree surgeon gets involved with, the emergency removal of part of - or indeed the entirety of - a tree requires a great deal of skill. Of course, response time is often crucial in this type of scenario so make sure your tree surgeon can come to help you promptly in order to minimise the danger cause by the emergency.
Garden Clearance
If emergency work is very much about time, garden clearance is usually as a result of neglect that has built up over the months and even years in your garden. Often it is performed for people who have just bought a new place and the previous owners cared little for their outdoor space. Of course, before you can do anything to your garden you need to remove all the dead wood and plants from it and therefore hiring a professional can often be the best way to deal with what can be a rather unpleasant task.
Fallen Trees
Fallen trees can often fall under the emergency work scenario outlined above, however, they will still need to be looked after and high level of safety maintained. Usually trees fall because of either old age or illness or because of serious weather conditions such as wind or perhaps even snow.
Stump Grinding
Often a tree needs to be cut down - or even removed entirely - and this means that a stump is left. In order to make sure that the tree doesn't regrow and cause more problems something must be done to its stump and therefore a tree surgeon will apply his stump grinding machine to the stump, thereby killing it off entirely while also creating more space where the tree - and stump - used to be.
As you can see there are a number of skills that a tree surgeon needs to be a master of in order to remove trees from your garden and it is often a good idea to check whether your tree surgeon can carry them all out.
