Situations That Call For Tree Removal in White Rock
Tree removal can be important for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons for tree removal may be to solely improve the curb appeal of the property. In other cases, the tree may be taken out in order to be replaced by a more suitable species of tree. A tree health assessment might determine that the tree may be a very real danger to the surrounding area. For example, ways that a tree could be a hazard to the surrounding area include:
- On the brink of falling over as a result of being dead or dying
- Encroaching too close to a common structure such as a pathway or road
- Inflicting critical damage to a building’s foundation
- Damaged by disease or other external forces beyond repair
It’s recommended that a tree be removed as soon as possible if there is any possible danger or damage being done, as in any of the above mentioned situations. If you have any doubts, a tree risk assessment will evaluate the amount of risk that a tree poses to your property. When a tree is being removed, all standards put in place by the International Society of Arboriculture should be followed in order to make sure the removal is done in a safe and efficient manner. There’s no tree removal project too large or too little for our us. Once a tree risk assessment has concluded that the tree needs to be taken down, a crew from Richmond Tree Care will get to work.
Removing Trees in White Rock? You May Need A Permit
If you thinking about having any trees removed, you may be required to obtain a tree removal permit from the City. The aim of the Tree Bylaw in effect in White Rock is to ensure a balanced amount of green space and protect ‘significant’ trees in the City. To prevent being fined, read about the White Rock Tree Bylaw and apply for a tree removal permit if needed. Feel free to ask us if you need assistance with the permit application process.
The Risks of a Hazard Tree
Dead, damaged and dying trees pose a critical danger to all surrounding areas. This can include houses, businesses, buildings, and most importantly, people. Hazardous trees, if not attended to properly, can potentially have their branches come crashing down to anything below unpredictably. Even just a sizable tree branch can weigh thousands of pounds and inflict severe damage to anything in its path. The whole tree can fall down if the roots are not well established. The damage that a tree can do isn’t limited to areas above ground. If not dealt with before hand, a tree’s root structure can inflict a lot of havoc to a building’s foundation, which can be very expensive to fix.
