What Do Tree Surgeons Do

1. What Do Tree Surgeons Do? If you love gardening, you may wonder if you need the assistance of a tree surgeon. You may only need a few branches removed or a tree may need to be removed that is causing potential harm to your home. These days you can secure the tools and equipment you need with ease, by following How-To videos, but there are still times when a professional tree surgeon should be involved. You should only do simple pruning without the assistance of a tree surgeon, if you don't know how to prune a tree properly, then call in the professionals for assistance. Professional tree surgeons have the correct health and safety in place, they have the warnings for local pedestrians and traffic if needed and they know everything about trees, ensuring your trees receive the quality care that they deserve. Tree surgeons should always be used when it comes to tree felling. They will protect people and property during the process. When a tree is damaged it can be a potential risk. Tree surgeons will feel trees that are infested with pests or disease, preserving the health of nearby trees and preventing the risk of disease spreading. Tree felling is a complicated process and there is much more to it than simply chopping down a tree. It is dangerous with numerous hazards and risks. It is not a task that you should undertake. While a tree surgeon can make tree felling look easy enough, they know how to control how the tree falls, ensuring it is done in a safe and controlled manner. Another thing that you should call a tree surgeon to assist with is stump removal. Once a tree has been felled, the ground-level stump is left behind. Often home and business owners attempt to remove the stump of their own, but it is a difficult and time-consuming process, especially when dealing with an old tree with a large and deep root system. Tree surgeons will use specialised tools called stump grinders that dig into the ground, chewing up the trunk and roots. It demolishes the wood, creating composting material. It is dangerous work and should only be done by someone with extensive experience. Pollarding is another service that should be undertaken by a professional tree surgeon and this is a type of pruning carried out during the winter months. During winter it is easier to see the tree structure, as the leaves have already felled. Pollarding is done to limit the height of a tree, preventing it from growing too hide and wide in its allocated space. Pollarding is done at a height, giving the tree surgeon access to the branches that need to be removed. There are numerous obstacles to take into consideration including other properties, telephone wires, and sheds, for example. Tree surgeons use specialised rigging to lower to safely remove the branches that they have cut to the ground, reducing the risk of damage to people or property.

2. Tree surgeons also provide crown shaping and reduction, which is done when a tree has grown too big for its surroundings and is in danger of coming into contact with obstacles. Tree crowning shaping and reduction is interrupting the growth of the tree. It is done by reducing the size of the crown and carefully removing the branches, reducing stress on the tree's limbs and allowing light to penetrate to inner branches. In addition to this, tree surgeons can provide crown thinning. This is done to bulky and thick trees that can cause damage in strong winds. Due to the weight of the branches, the limbs and trunks can become stressed and breaks can occur. Crown thinning is done by removing branches from the tree to leave a tidy structure while allowing the wind to pass through the tree with reduced risk.
