Your Trees Are Important To Your Property And The Environment So Make Sure You Use An Expert Arborist.
Why is it so important to keep the trees on your property maintained
by a professionally qualified arborist? There are many reasons. Here are a few.
Increase the value of your property
It’s well known that one of the biggest influences on the value of your home
is the standard of the garden.
- Is it tidy?
- Is it easy to maintain?
- Are there any potential costs for the owner?
- Are there any potential hazards to your own property?
- Is there a risk of damage to a neighbour’s property?
One of the easiest ways to do that is to call in tree specialists or an arborist
who can provide the various tree care services that you may need.
These can be:-
Prevent expensive damage to your property
Experienced arborists can help you with tree pruning or tree felling to keep your garden tidy and perhaps more importantly, to prevent potential damage to your property such as damage to the roof, the drains or the power lines into your home. Overhanging branches can be a particular hazard with power lines and it’s your responsibility in law to make sure that your trees don’t affect your electricity supply lines.
Prolong the life of your trees
A good arborist (sometimes called a tree doctor or tree surgeon), will advise you how to preserve the trees in your garden. Trees take many years to mature but can be ruined very quickly by someone who does not understand the correct principles and techniques of tree maintenance or other aspects of tree care. Poor pruning can take a tree many years to recover from, and in some cases can require that the tree has to be felled.
Helping you avoid fines
Some people think they can hire a chainsaw and easily fell a tree. Be aware that there are many local by-laws that protect trees. If you chop down a tree with out the right consent, you can be liable for expensive fines. A good tree specialist will help you eliminate the risk, and can show you how to apply for consent before you begin tree surgery. Oakwood Treecare can also apply for consent for you on your behalf.

People who know what they are doing
Our people are trained arborists, not casual labourers. That means they understand your trees and can help you get the result you want. It’s not a case of crank-up the chainsaw, but one of finding out what you are wanting to achieve and then giving you the best advice to attain your desired outcome. Many tree companies employ untrained people. All of our climbers are trained arborists.
Here’s a comment from a home owner who didn’t use a trained arborist
“our neighbour had a bunch of cowboys in to remove 3 large pine trees, for $1200. The "tree guys" ended up wiping out another healthy tree during their operation, and managed to roll their heavy-duty truck right over at the bottom of the property! They had to get even heavier-duty gear in through our property to rescue it. In any case, after all the fences were smashed and the trees dropped, these guys bailed out, leaving about three properties strewn with rather large chunks of pine tree and fence remains. It took the neighbour 8 weekends of his own time to get the place cleared up. Better to pay the professionals whatever it takes, “

Unfortunately, arboriculture is an industry where unscrupulous people can easily start up a business. In the current economic climate many will see providing tree services as “tree doctors” an easy way to make money. But how do you know you can trust them?
