Why Remove a Tree?

There are a number of reasons to get rid of a tree!

If your tree is dead or dying, and there is no chance of it surviving, a good time to remove it is now.

The tree may be at risk of falling over and injuring people or damaging property, especially during storms or in heavy winds.

If you notice changes in your tree’s leaves or bark, if it has started to lean or there are signs of infestation or disease – don’t delay.

Have a professional Arborist carry out an inspection of your tree and do a full assessment to see if it can be saved or if it would be safer to have it removed.

Large tree removal is very dangerous.

If you don’t know what you’re doing things can go wrong very quickly. You can you put yourself, your family, your house and your neighbour’s houses at risk.

If you don’t have the right equipment and a team of experienced people, doing it yourself is a very poor decision.

Do you really want to take the chance?

The only safe and smart option is to hire a professional, experienced Arborist who will safely remove the tree. They will also safely clear and remove all of the debris which remains.

The other major reason for hiring a professional tree service is they can quickly remove the stump after the tree has been removed. Most companies, including Kaptol Tree Removal Newcastle use a specialist piece of equipment called a stump grinder which removes the stump without trace.

NO!  Tree Removal is dangerous work and requires expert and experienced professionals.

Chainsaws can be hired hire, however those available to hire by homeowners are usually much smaller and less powerful than those used by professionals, so may not be suitable for your job.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT - Why put yourself or your family at risk to save a 'few bucks'!

Removing any tree is dangerous work and has a number of risks, however, removing a large tree can be extremely dangerous.

The size and weight of a large tree’s trunk and branches can do extensive damage to property and people and should not be undertaken by anyone without the extensive knowledge, skill and experience.

The risk is significant if the tree is anywhere near powerlines or other services.

Many factors need to be evaluated including the accessibility of the tree and proximity to structures.

When devising a plan for removal, the tree may need to be removed in stages depending on the tree, it's location and other local circumstances.
