Tree Removal Sunbury

Ascent Trees were contacted about a tree removal job in Sunbury due to the customer’s concerns about large trees overhanging their house. There had been heavy winds – as we often get in Victoria – and the customer was worried about the risk to their home and their safety. The trees had begun to drop a number of limbs and small branches close to the house and the customer was aware this was a sign of deteriorating health for the trees.

Chris arranged a suitable time to visit the property and provide the customer with a quote. On arrival, he assessed the trees in question and observed clear signs of decay. This included fungal growth (which looks like half a large old mushroom) in the trunk along with visible cracks, as well as a large amount of deadwood in the branches above.

After the hazard assessment made it clear the trees would continue to experience limb failure, and due to the proximity to the house, it was decided the trees would have to be removed for safety reasons. The job was booked in for the days after due to the hazardous nature of the job.

On the day of the tree removal job, our arborists ascended the trees using harnesses and ropes and safely removed the smaller branches first to remove the weight, and then moved onto the larger branches, bringing them down to the ground with a controlled fall. Once the trunk was stripped, the crew used chainsaws to fell the trunk into the surrounding garden, with no damage caused to the house.

During the removal, the ground crew put the branches through the chipper and sprayed the mulch into a pile for the customer to use for his garden. The larger pieces of timber were cut into rounds in a neat pile, and left for the customer to chop into firewood. We finished up with a stump grinding service, so once the site was cleared, we then removed the stump to ground level, ready for the location to be rehabilitated for the garden.

The customer was happy not to worry about the risk of the trees anymore and pleased with our attentiveness to safety and site clean up, as well being very satisfied with the price for such a large job!
