WHEN DOES A TREE NEED TO BE REMOVED?
At All Season Tree Service, we offer various services to help keep the trees on your property safe, healthy and beautiful. Removing a tree is necessary in some situations to prevent property damage, pest infestations, and injuries. Here are a few common reasons why you might need to get a tree removed:
- It’s diseased or decaying. A diseased or decaying tree often shows common signs of decay. Most sick trees don’t recover; even if they appear alive, they can linger in poor condition for years. During this time, they may infect nearby healthy trees, become a refuge for pests, and eventually be at risk of falling.
- It’s too close to a building. A large tree within six metres of a house will cause severe damage if it falls, particularly if it’s growing over the roof. The root system can also cause cracks in the foundation and sewer line blockages.
- It’s growing near power lines. If a branch touches or falls on a line, it becomes an electric shock hazard and can potentially catch on fire. In addition to the risk of injury, this can lead to a power outage.
- It’s severely damaged. Strong winds, ice storms, and heavy snow can irreparably damage trees. If a tree’s structural integrity is significantly compromised, bracing alone may not be sufficient to prevent it from falling.
In addition to our regular tree assessment and removal services, the team at All Season Tree Service offers 24/7 emergency tree services for fallen trees or severe storm damage.
OUR TREE REMOVAL PROCESS
We follow specific steps for cutting or removing trees in Edmonton:
Initial assessment
The first step involves our professional arborists inspecting the affected tree for damage, potential infections, its current condition, location, and possible risks.
Site assessment plans
Other risks to consider include the tree’s health and size, distance from buildings, and the potential threat posed by nearby power lines.
Preparation of the site
Considering these factors, our experts assess the surroundings of the affected tree to devise a safe removal plan.
Disposal of the trees
This step may include planning for removing equipment, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area, and utilizing alternate planting methods to minimize damage to the active plants or landscape.
Debris removal and cleanup
After removal, the crew thoroughly cleans the site, removing all branches, logs, and other debris. This includes leaving the area free of tripping hazards and, if requested, cutting the wood for firewood or mulch.
Stump grinding
If the client prefers, we can grind the remaining stump to ground level, leaving the space ready for new landscaping or tree planting.
Final inspection
After the removal, a final inspection ensures the site is safe, clean, and meets the client’s satisfaction.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS A TREE IS HAZARDOUS?
The best way to determine if a tree on your property is a safety risk is to have it evaluated by a certified arborist. Several signs can indicate that a tree needs removal:
- Cracks, splits, and cavities in the trunk
- Fungi growing around the base of the tree
- Large dead branches or a sparse crown
- A severely leaning trunk or bough
- Two dominant branches that create a V-shape
If you notice any of these signs or you have concerns about a tree on your property, All Season Tree Service offers no-obligation consultations. We’ve also created a helpful guide to help you identify the early warning signs of common tree diseases.
WHY IS TREE REMOVAL A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS?
Removing a tree without the right tools and skills can cause serious and even fatal injuries and extensive damage to nearby property and trees. Any task that requires climbing a tree or using a chainsaw should be left to experienced tree care experts.
At All Season Tree Service, our team has the knowledge, training and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees, no matter the size or scope of the job.
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
In Edmonton, a Public Tree Permit is generally required for any work conducted within five metres of any tree in a street or open space or within ten metres of any natural stand boundary. This permit is explicitly issued to secure and preserve trees wherever feasible.
A permit is unnecessary if a tree is located on your property. You can also remove branches from a neighbour’s tree if they cross over the property line.
Before removing any trees, check with the City of Edmonton for specific permit requirements and necessary approvals. For more information regarding permits, you can apply for tree removal and public tree removal permits.
