Can I prune or have branches removed from a neighbour's tree that is overhanging my yard?

There have been many disputes regarding trees that are impacting your yard from your neighbour's property. The best course of action is to talk with them and reach a common decision. Our team can assist with this, talking with yourself and the neighbour to reach an agreement. If your neighbour does not want to communicate or refuses, you can still have tree branches that are impacting your yard removed through your right of abatement under the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011. This requires notice for removal of particular overhanging branches form to be lodged and there are certain conditions that need to be met. This is always the last resort, but our team can assist you through this process as well.

What should I do if a tree has fallen during a storm?

The first important steps are to remain calm and to not touch or go near the area. The tree itself could be unstable, it could have taken down power lines or it could have impacted the electrical wiring in your home if the tree has fallen onto your house. If there are visible power lines taken down by the tree, contact your electricity provider immediately. Our team works around the clock during emergency storm situations and we can safely remove the tree, no matter how big it is or how bad the damage is. It is imperative that you call the experts in for this job, it is never worth the risk to attempt this job yourself.

Is your company licensed and insured?

Yes. You should never hire a company without the right credentials and experience because if something goes wrong you might find yourself out of pocket. Our team are trained arborists with all of the right skills and experience - plus our insurance will cover you in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

Will you remove the debris from the tree removal process?

Yes, this is an important part of the service that we offer. The cleanup process is usually a more involved process than removing the tree itself. There might be lots of mess, several trips to the tip required and lots of time and energy involved. This is all included in our tree removal service and your yard will be left in immaculate condition.

Will I need a permit from the council to remove trees on my property?

There are occasions where council approval is required before a tree can be removed. If there is a protection order on the vegetation on your land, you will need to provide proof that the tree is dead and dangerous before approval will be given. In some cases, pruning might be the better option. If the tree is a council tree, you will also require permission before any work can commence. Our team can help you through these processes to reach the best possible outcome for you.

Benefits Of Tree Removal

There are multiple benefits to having a tree removed safely by professionals on the Sunshine Coast. Some of these benefits include:

Enhance Aesthetic Appeal

If you are selling a property, or simply want to increase the kerb appeal of your home, a dying or damaged tree can be an eye-sore. Removing a decaying or rotting tree can help to increase the value of your land and improve its visual appeal.

Safety

Trees that are damaged or are dying may fall unexpectedly and cause serious damage to your home or a vehicle on your land. By removing dying or damaged trees, you remove this risk and improve the safety of your property.

Protect Spread Of Diseases

Sometimes it is necessary to remove a tree to protect other trees and plants on your land. For example, a tree that has a disease or a pest infection may harm and infect other trees if it is not removed safely and securely.

Extra Space

If you are planning a home renovation or simply wish to improve the view from your property, removing a tree may provide you with the additional space you require.

Signs You Need Tree Removal

There are multiple signs that indicate a tree may need to be removed, such as:

Damage

Signs of damage can include anything from falling branches to trunks that have gashes and dents.

Pest Infestation

Bugs & pests are common pests in trees, as are some birds and rodents. Unfortunately, sometimes the only way to prevent the spread is to remove said tree.

Excessive Growth

Large tree roots can affect the structure of a property and cause damage. Similarly, overgrown branches can press against windows and may break them.

Mould

Different types of mould can grow on trees, including honey fungus.

Bare branches year-round

If your tree has bare branches year-round, this is a sign that the tree is dead and may need to be removed.

Excessive bark and sap shedding

Excessive bark and sap shedding are further signs that a tree may be dead.

Leaning
If a tree has begun to lean or grow at an unusual angle, this is an indication the tree may need to be removed.

If you notice any of the above signs, get in touch with our team. It is particularly important to be vigilant about the condition of your trees in the winter months as adverse weather, such as strong winds and storms, increase the likelihood of a damaged or decaying tree falling and you may need to consider getting branch removal.

Tree Lopping Vs Tree Removal

The old way of managing a tree was often to grab a pair of loppers and carry out what’s known as “hat racking” a process where the whole of the top half of the tree is removed.

This type of lopping led to the presence of ugly stumps and potential problems, such as pests, disease and internal damage caused by cross-cutting. Modern expertise and education means the tree management industry has adopted safer, more effective practices

Minimise Storm Damage

Tree removal means that the tree is removed in its entirety. This means there is no risk of ongoing decay, which in turn poses a risk to person and property. Internal damage, caused by poor quality tree management can go undetected until too late, often with devastating effects.

Choosing professional arborists like the team at Branch Manager means you can be confident that tree removal will be carried out in a safe, controlled manner, and that all necessary assessments of the surroundings, as well as the tree itself, will be carried out before the work begins. The troublesome tree will be removed safely, and without risk of pests or disease, or being left with a misshapen damaged tree.
