Situations Where Tree Removal is Needed in Delta
Tree removal may be required for an assortment of reasons. One reason for tree removal may be to just improve the curb appeal of the property. In other cases, the tree may be taken out so a new one can be put in its place that is a more appropriate species. Sometimes, the tree may be a very real threat. Ways a tree could be a hazard to the surrounding area include:
- Likely to fall down unpredictably due to being dead or dying
- Damaged by disease or other external forces beyond hope of becoming strong and sturdy again
- Severely causing damage to a concrete structure
- In close proximity to some infrastructure such as a roof or house
It's recommended that a tree be removed quickly if there is any possible danger or damage being done, as in any of the above mentioned scenarios. If there is any question, a tree risk assessment will verify the specific risk that a tree poses to the surrounding area. When having a tree removed, all standards established by the International Society of Arboriculture should be met in order to ensure a safe and efficient removal. We have a highly skilled team of arborists and a fleet of tree service vehicles ready to service any size tree removal project. After a tree risk assessment has concluded that the tree must be removed, a crew from Richmond Tree Care will make sure it gets done promptly.
Do I Need a Tree Removal Permit in Delta?
When you are planning to have a tree removed or cut down from your property, you may need to apply for a tree removal permit from the City. The Tree Bylaw in effect in Delta protects 'significant' trees and aims to maintain a balance of green space in the City. Not getting a permit when required could result in fines. Please read about the Delta Tree Bylaw to see if you need to apply for a tree removal permit. Feel free to ask us if you need help with the permit application process.
Reasons Why Hazardous Trees are So Risky
Anything in close proximity to a dead, dying or damaged tree may be in urgent danger. This includes buildings, houses, cars, and not to mention, people. Hazardous trees, if not attended to professionally, can potentially have their branches come tumbling down to anything below unexpectedly. Even just a large tree branch can weigh more than a ton and cause severe damage to anything in its path. If the roots are weak, the entire tree can fall down. The damage that a tree can do is not restricted to areas above the soil. If not handled before hand, a tree's root structure can inflict a lot of structural damage to a building's foundation, which can be very expensive to deal with.
