WHEN DOES A TREE NEED TO BE REMOVED?
At All Season Tree Service, we offer various services to help keep the trees on your property safe, healthy and beautiful. However, there are cases when tree removal is the right way to prevent property damage, infestation and injury. Here are a few common reasons why you might need to get a tree removed:
-
It’s diseased or decaying. Look for common signs of decay. Most sick trees don’t recover, but one can die for years. In the meantime, it can infect nearby healthy trees, become a haven for pests and eventually be at risk of falling.
-
It’s too close to a building. A large tree within six metres of a house will cause severe damage if it falls, particularly if it’s growing over the roof. The root system can also cause cracks in the foundation and sewer line blockages.
-
It’s growing near power lines. If a branch touches or falls on a line, it becomes an electric shock hazard and can potentially catch on fire. In addition to the risk of injury, this can lead to a power outage. Read our detailed article about utility line clearing.
-
It’s severely damaged. Strong winds, ice storms and heavy snow can take a toll on your trees and cause irreparable damage. If the structural integrity of a tree has been severely compromised, bracing might not be enough to prevent it from falling.
In addition to our regular tree assessment and removal services, the team at All Season Tree Service offers 24/7 emergency tree services for fallen trees or severe storm damage.
OUR TREE REMOVAL PROCESS
We need to follow certain steps for tree cutting or removal in Edmonton.
-
Initial assessment
The first step involves the professionals taking rounds to inspect the affected tree for a wide array of damages, possibilities of infection, current condition, where it is situated, and possible risks.
-
Site assessment plans
Some other risks include the tree's health or size and the distance from other buildings while considering the threat caused by nearby power lines.
-
Preparation of the site
Considering these factors, the professionals assess the scene of the affected tree to devise a safe removal plan.
-
Disposal of the trees
This may involve planning for removing equipment, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area, and utilizing alternate planting methods to reduce damage to the active plants or landscape.
-
Debris removal and cleanup
After removal, the crew thoroughly cleans the site, removing all branches, logs, and other debris. This includes leaving the area free of tripping hazards and, if requested, cutting the wood for firewood or mulch.
-
Stump grinding
If the client prefers, we can grind the remaining stump to ground level, leaving the space ready for new landscaping or tree planting.
-
Final inspection
After the removal, a final inspection ensures the site is safe, clean, and meets the client’s satisfaction.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS A TREE IS HAZARDOUS?
The suitable way to confirm whether a tree on your property poses a safety threat is to have it assessed by a professional arborist. However, several signs you can look for might indicate a tree needs to be removed. These include:
-
Cracks, splits, and cavities in the trunk
-
Fungi growing around the base of the tree
-
Large dead branches or a sparse crown
-
A severely leaning truck or bough
-
Two dominant branches that create a V-shape
If you notice any of these signs or you have concerns about a tree on your property, All Season Tree Service offers no-obligation consultations. We’ve also created a helpful guide to help you identify the early warning signs of common tree diseases.
WHY IS TREE REMOVAL A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS?
Removing a tree without the right tools and skills can cause serious and even fatal injuries and extensive damage to nearby property and trees.
Any task that requires climbing a tree or using a chainsaw should be left to experienced tree care experts.
At All Season Tree Service, our team has the knowledge, training and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees, no matter the size or scope of the job.
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
In Edmonton, a Public Tree Permit is generally required for any work conducted within five meters of any tree in a street or open space or within ten meters of any natural stand boundary. This permit is explicitly issued to secure and preserve trees wherever feasible.
If a tree is located on your property, a permit is not necessary. You can also remove branches from a neighbor’s tree if they cross over the property line.
Check with the City of Edmonton for permit specifics and required approval for any tree removal actions beforehand.
For more information regarding the permits, you can apply for permits for tree removal and public tree removal.
