When Trees Need to Go: Tree Removal Near Me

Trees are essential to our environment. They provide us with shade, clean air and a connection to nature. However, there are instances when trees need to go. Tree removal may be necessary due to safety concerns, disease or landscape requirements. At Simpson Arboriculture, our dedicated team of arborists understand the delicate balance between preserving nature and insuring safety. In this blog, we’ll explore the various reasons why trees might need to be removed and how our tree removal services can help you maintain a safe and beautiful landscape.  

Safety First: Hazardous Trees

While trees enhance the beauty of any landscape, they can also pose significant risk if they become hazardous. Trees with compromised structural integrity due to disease or storm damage can become unstable. Dead or weakened branches might fall unexpectedly, endangering people and property. Our certified arborists at Simpson Arboriculture have the expertise to assess the health of your trees and can recommend any action that might need to be taken. If tree removal is necessary, we prioritise the safety of your property and everyone around it.

Disease Control and Prevention

Trees, like any other living organisms, can fall victim to diseases that can spread to neighbouring vegetation. If a tree is diseased and this cannot be treated effectively, tree removal can be the best option. By acting promptly, you can protect the health of other trees on your property and maintain a vibrant, disease-free landscape.

Landscape enhancement

Sometimes, tree removal is necessary to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your outdoor space. Overgrown trees might block sunlight, inhibit the growth of other plants, or disrupt the balance of your landscaping design. Our arborists can help you decide which trees should be removed to improve the overall look of your garden. We’ll also provide recommendations for suitable replacement trees to maintain the natural beauty of your landscape.  

Expert Tree Removal Services

When it comes to tree removal, it’s essential to hire professionals with the right equipment, knowledge and experience. At Simpson Arboriculture, we employ a skilled team of arborists and use advanced equipment to ensure safe and efficient tree removal. We have invested in the highest range machinery available. We utilise modern techniques to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Every job is different, but we have the right tools to get the job done.

At Simpson Arboriculture, we understand the importance of taking responsibility for the environment. While tree removal is sometimes necessary, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices. We recycle 100% of our waste. Wood chippings become fuel in biomass boilers, or are used as garden mulch. All waste wood is recycled into firewood logs or used in our boilers for fuel to heat our log kiln.

Whenever possible, we explore alternative solutions, such as pruning or crown reducing a tree to mitigate risks and preserve valuable trees. Additionally, we can offer guidance on options for replanting and actively encourage this wherever possible.

Tree removal challenges: how we can help

Our professional, highly trained arborists at Simpson Arboriculture love a challenge! And one of the biggest challenges we often get asked about is how to remove a tree in less-than-ideal circumstances. It may be a narrow access or a small garden full of obstacles. Our aim is to carry out the work safely and efficiently.

Here are 5 of the most common challenges in tree removal and how we can tackle them

Limited access

This is a very common one. Our customers may have a small garden, narrow access or limited space for our team to work with. This is something our team have ample experience in. We can offer solutions such as using rigging techniques for tree removal in smaller sections. Our team can also remove any waste by hand or drag branches out onto a road or driveway.

Obstacles

Green houses, conservatories or a vegetable patch are common obstacles that our team are required to work around. Causing minimal damage to the surrounding area is always an important consideration for us during a tree removal. We are always finding creative ways to work around them! We have rigged branches over greenhouses and used speed line techniques where there is a small drop zone to avoid any damage. 

Close to water

Carrying out any work close to a pond or river requires careful preparation and planning. Our experienced team are able to carry out tree removal close to and even over water. As with any work we embark on, it depends on the specifics of the job. A smaller tree near to shallow water may require our team to put their waders on if they’re going to be standing in water that is ankle to knee deep. Alternatively, if a tree growing near to deeper water or a fast-flowing river it may need a different approach. In these circumstances, use of machinery may be required so our team can work from the safety of the bank. This might be through the use of an excavator or our grapple saw which can cut the trunk and fell the tree mechanically.   

Near to a busy road

If a tree is on the side of a road, we may have to organise traffic management to ensure that both our team and members of the public are not put at any risk. Depending on the size of the tree and duration of the work, we can use signs, cones or traffic lights if the work requires any of the road to be blocked off. We always consider factors such as rush hour traffic or nearby schools to ensure that any work causes minimal disruption to the local community.

Removing a dead or unsafe tree

If a tree has a number of dead branches or has become damaged, this will cause the tree to be unsafe for our arborists to climb. In these circumstances, we may instead use specialist equipment such as a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP). This means that our arborists can still carry out the work, but without relying on branches that may fail. 

What should you do about it?

At Simpson Arboriculture, we know from experience that a problem tree can quickly become a worry. However, with our team’s expertise and years of experience, we can help give our customers peace of mind by taking care of the logistics.
