We were contacted after a big storm by a customer that was worried about a tree on her property. The tree had become to large for them to manage and had begun to drop a number of small branches. After such heavy winds, they decided to get the tree checked by a professional arborist and called Ascent Tree Solutions for a quote. As with all of our jobs, Chris visited the property to chat to the customer about tree, giving it a full visual hazard assessment whilst he was there. This allows Chris to check for sign of decay, disease and structural damage, so he can provide the best course of action for the customer.
As always, our preference is to retain the tree where possible, but sometime, there are too many issues, and the risk to safety can be too high, requiring a full removal. This was the case with the customer’s tree, which had weathered one too many storms in its time! The heavy winds had caused severe damage to the tree, not only from broken branches, but also with a large crack in the trunk. This meant the tree could not be salvaged by weight reduction or pruning.
Chris booked the team in for a full tree removal, where they dismantled the branches one by one, lowering them to the ground to avoid damaging the customer’s property. Once the tree was stripped, the crew felled the trunk and cut the timber into large, manageable sized pieces for the customer to cut into firewood.
There’s always a worry from customers that a tree company will leave a big mess behind for them to clear up, but not with Ascent Tree Solutions. We take great pride in leaving our customers’ property as clean as can be. We rake up the leaves and use a leaf blower to get rid of any last debris. For this job, the customer also had booked in a stump removal, which we booked in for the following week, leaving the space clear for replanting.
