Successful tree removal is an art. It requires intimate knowledge of the structure and various features of the particular breed, the specialized tools needed to do the job, the physics behind how a plant will fall once you cut it, etc. And in places like the Bass Coast Shire, you also need to know about the various laws about removing vegetation.


The process is complicated; however, we’ll help break it down for you.

The risks

There are a few risks attached every time someone decides to remove a tree. These risks are quite universal and apply in any situation. So before you get started on your project, or hire a professional to do it for you, make sure you go over this list and prepare for the worst outcome.

Gravity

The first risk on our list is fairly simple. Once a tree begins falling, you can't determine where it lands. Even if you use the most precise cuts and use ropes, you have no control. And it's very important you understand this. Specialists can minimize this risk because of their experience; however, no one can completely rule it out.

Decay

An old and decaying tree is very unpredictable. And there are quite a few of them in towns located in the shire. If you can identify one, call in an expert as soon as possible because delays can lead to severe consequences.

The recommended gear and training for a tree remover is an extensive list. For example, you should be wearing protective garments from your head to your toe and have a wide range of tools in quick access. Additionally, you should also know how to use a wood chipper and crane in case you need them.

Power Lines

The last risk on our list is extremely deadly. If you pull on power lines passing through, you risk shutting down electricity for the area. For example, damaging a mainline in Bass could potentially leave hundreds of people without power.


But beyond the communal harms, you could also electrocute yourself. The typical metal cables used by municipalities don't have any insulation - touching them can kill you.

The role of specialists 

If you think tree removal is dangerous, you’re right. There are tons of risks with severe consequences. But that is only the case for an amateur. Because while no one can ever truly cross off every single risk outlined above, experts can mitigate most of them.


For example, experience in the field will teach you how trees are likely to fall under the influence of gravity, and specialized training allows you to use cranes to remove deadwood.


You can learn a lot from books and YouTube tutorials but nothing will ever match the skills of professionals, and so it's always better to call them.

Pruning for tree health focuses on cutting off dead, diseased, and dying branches and branches that rub together. Pruning can also be used to nurture trees to develop a strong structure and lessen the likelihood of damage during harsh weather.

Reasons Why Soil Management Is Important For Trees

By Kimberly Romero • 23 Mar, 2022
The soil supports most living organisms, being the top source of their mineral nutrients. Good soil management guarantees that mineral elements do not become toxic or deficient to crops, plants, and trees. Soil management is essential to trees, environmental sustainability, productivity, and human health, so It’s crucial to know what’s happening beneath the ground. Cultivating the right soil type will make trees grow and live longer, even in urban locations with less room for them to thrive.
