 Tree Removal Hobart

 

When people daydream about their perfect backyard, they often visualize a large leafy tree, with strong branches and a large canopy of greenery giving shade to their kids as they play in swings or go climbing. The trees of their fantasy seem so big and strong, and the possibility of them requiring tree removal services seems the furthest from their minds.
 
However, often, what really happens doesn’t follow our daydreams. Tree branches grow too large and begin to impact on your property or other trees. Perhaps they crack and fall, and if they are to close to your house, sometimes they threaten to damage your property and your family. In high winds, those branches can become a real hazard.
 
And like other living things, trees can become sick, diseased and weakened, unable to stand up any longer.
 
For a while, trimming the tree might be the answer. You might be able to stop the tree from impacting your property, but if you improperly trim or prune your tree, this can have hazardous effects to your tree. Trimming and pruning is like surgery; surgery done improperly can sometimes be worse than no surgery at all.
 
Eventually though, trimming the tree might no longer be the right answer. You might have to do something a lot more drastic, lopping the tree right back, but this kind of surgery, if done right, can be hugely detrimental to the tree’s future health. How far back do you cut back your tree? Which branches must go to ensure the rest of the tree can thrive?
 
And then, there’s the final option; removing the tree altogether. That’s is never an easy job, and not always the right one, either. When should you decide to fully remove the tree? And how do you go about doing that properly, without harming your property or the health of your garden or other trees?
 
And what do you do with the stump that remains behind?
 
You don’t have to make these decisions alone. We at Apple Isle Tree Removal Hobart are skilled tree removal, tree lopping, tree trimming and pruning professionals. We don’t hack and slash a tree for the sake of it. Wherever possible we will try to ensure the better continued health of the tree, but we are aware that there are times when a tree must be removed.
 
If you require assistance with your tree removal needs, whether you are a domestic customer or commercial, or if you have stumps in the ground you want ground down or removed, please call us or leave your information in the contact form. We will be happy to advise you on the best course of action.

About Us

Let it never be underestimated how dangerous tree removal is, nor how much detrimental effect a seemingly innocuous trim here or prune there can have on a tree. Hacking at a tree, just blindly slicing off branches here, there and everywhere, is never the right answer. As said previously, often surgery done wrong is worse than no surgery at all, and tree pruning, lopping or trimming done wrong can cause your tree’s growth to stagnate, jut off in unpredictable directions, or simply kill the tree, as the tree does not have the energy to recover from your incisions.
 
At Apple Isle Tree Removal Hobart, our team of contractors are experts, having been trained by experts, in the fields of tree removal and tree care. They are fully licensed and insured, and have years of extensive experience with caring for trees like yours.
 
We care for our environment. We know that there are times when drastic efforts are required, when a tree must be removed for safety reasons, or because it has died, or because it is impacting on the survival of other plants and trees in your yard. We love seeing a tree we have trimmed, pruned or lopped becoming stronger in the weeks and months to come, and we love seeing a yard bloom after we have removed a dead or dying tree.
 
Our contractors take pride in our work. We strive towards excellent customer service and satisfaction, knowing that the work we do today not only fulfils your current job requirements but is, in a sense, an audition for future jobs. Tree care is an ongoing, lifelong requirement if you own a yard, and we would like to be your long term tree care company.
 
Please call us, or leave your information in the contact form, and we will be happy to contact you.

 

How Do I Tell If My Tree Is Dead or Dying?

 

One way of determining whether your tree is dead or dying is performing what is known as the ‘tree scratch test’. Perform a little cut on the tree’s trunk, using a small knife or fingernail, to remove a small piece of the bark outer layer. You want to see what is happening below the bark, at the ‘cambium’ layer. If this layer is green, than your tree still has some life to it; if it is dry and brown, the tree has most likely died.
 
It is important when doing this test, that you don’t remove large chunks of bark. When you cut into a tree, you are creating a wound. As occurs when you get wounds yourself, the tree has to expend some energy to repair itself. If you create too large a wound, you can kill the tree, if the tree is too weak to repair itself.
 
Here are a list of some other signs that can tell you that your tree is dying:

 
Trees should be removed if they are dead or dying, or if they are dangerous to your property, you and your family, or the community. Check local council rules as to whether you require a permit to remove a tree from your own property.

How Does Tree Lopping Differ From Trimming and Pruning?

 

All of these terms relate to cutting back the tree in some way. Lopping is by far the most drastic ways, and should be done only in certain situations. When lopping a tree, a tree lopper will cut the branches back to their stubs, removing those branches that are not required for the tree to continue to grow. A lopping might also cut the tops off the tree,
 
Some people want their trees lopped because the tree is obstructing their view. Other times, the tree might be coming entangled with powerlines, or branches could become dangerous missiles if blown down by storm winds.
 
Tree Lopping is not a delicate job. Compared to Trimming and Pruning, tree lopping is far more dangerous to both the tree and the lopper performing the operation. A lopping done wrong can ruin the tree, or cause the tree to grow back in unexpected directions. It is like a major, invasive surgery, and should not be done unless for the right reasons.
 
Lopping also requires more powerful and dangerous equipment than Trimming and Pruning. Please do not undertake a tree lopping if you don’t have professional equipment, or have not been trained in its use.
 
As you might expect, tree trimming and pruning are more delicate. Often, they are performed to make sure the tree remains strong and beautiful, producing bountiful fruit and flowers. While less invasive than lopping, trimming and pruning are still like performing surgical operations on the tree, and should only be performed by those that understand how each cut can change the future growth course of the tree.
 
Tree Pruning often involves removing diseased, infected and overgrown branches, while Tree Trimming usually relates to giving the tree a clean, organized and beautiful look.
 
Whatever you plan on doing, you should call our expert arborist for advice as to what is the best course of action for your tree.

What is Stump Grinding and How Does It Differ From Stump Removal?

 

We should point out that our tree removal service doesn’t include removing the stump, because this is a tough and difficult feat on its own, and requires some heavy duty equipment.
At Apple Isle Tree Removal Hobart, we don’t only remove, lop, trim or prune trees … we also have a stump grinding and stump removal service.
 
So, what is the difference between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal?
 
Well, you can probably guess that Stump Removal is getting rid of the stump altogether … but Stump Grinding is the grinding of the stump down to below the layer of the surround land. The root system remains behind, whereas for a Stump Removal, the system is taken away with the roots.

Which Should I Have? Stump Grinding or Stump Removal?

 

The answer really is ‘It depends’. At Apple Isle Tree Removal Hobart, we can give you advice as to what outcome best suits you.
 
To put it simply, the choice will come down to what you are willing to leave behind in the ground, versus how difficult the operation will be.
 
Stump Removals get rid of everything; the stump, the roots, all of it … but it is a much more difficult tasks, takes longer, is more costly than Stump Grindings, and leaves a hole in your back yard where the root system used to be that you will need to fill in.
 
Stump Grindings are far easier, and cheaper. Grindings leaves your yard looking better (as there is no large hole that needs dealing with), but because the root system remains behind, there is a risk of some sprout regrowth as the root decays underground.

OUR SERVICES

Tree Removal

 

There are a few reasons why trees might need to be removed. Perhaps they have died. Perhaps they are in danger of falling over and causing damage to yourself, your family or your property. Perhaps there are in the way of a future renovation project.
 
Whatever the reason, whatever the size of the tree, call us. Our tree removal service will remove the tree before it can cause you any further options.
 
If you also require the stump to be removed or ground down, please indicate that to be the case when you call us or use the free quote form.

Tree Lopping

 

Lopping a tree is like performing a drastic surgery; it’s not something you should want to perform, but it might be unavoidable.
 
Perhaps disease or pests has taken control of your tree, and it requires a cut back to get rid of the infection; perhaps parts of the tree are hogging the light while other parts get none; perhaps other trees in your yard are struggling to survive while this one tree takes all the sunlight.
 
There can be various reasons, but whatever the case, our tree lopping services can handle it for you. Done wrong, tree lopping can be dangerous for your tree and the person doing the lopping. Go the safe route, and call us.
​

Tree Pruning and Trimming

 

Pruning and Trimming your trees are last drastic measures than lopping and, of course, totally removing the tree. Pruning can get rid of diseases and infected branches that are hindering the rest of the tree’s growth, while trimming your tree improves the tree’s visual look, and keeps it looking healthy and strong, helping to increase property value.
 
Whether you are pruning or trimming, even if they are far less intrusive than other tree care methods, you are effectively performing surgery on the tree. If done wrong, the tree’s future growth can be altered in unexpected ways.
 
Call our Tree Pruning and Trimming services and our expert arborists will ensure the continued health of your trees for years to come.

Stump Grinding and Removal

 

When trees are removed, tree stumps are left behind. Grinding or removing a tree stump is not a small job, and is therefore classified as it’s own piece of work. Tree stumps can become injury hazards to anyone playing around in your backyard, and as fungi and the like might begin growing from them, they can become dangerous to pets and small children who may eat them.
 
Should you grind the stump to below ground level, or remove the stump and its root system altogether? Call our stump grinding and removal service, as we can help advise you on what are the best options for your particular situation.
