Why would you want to cut down a tree?

First of all we would like to encourage tree removal only as a last resort, after all trees and plants clean our air. There are many species of trees and some of them may be endangered, so make sure to consult a professional arborist/tree specialist before taking action.

  • Some trees get to big and damage property.
  • Trees also get sick and die, becoming a danger.
  • For agricultural or developmental purposes.
  • Wood beetle/ hout kewer can also infest a tree.

How to cut down a tree?

Tree removal can a daunting task and should be left for the professional tree surgeons. Never try to cut your own trees without the necessary expertise and equipment, consult a tree specialist.

  1. Start by assessing the tree and the surroundings.
  2. Formulate a plan of action.
  3. Make sure you have all the right equipment for the job.
  4. Estimate where the tree will fall.
  5. Make sure it is safe.
  6. Calculate where to cut the notch to guide the tree as it falls.
  7. Make sure to wear all necessary safety gear.
  8. Cut the notch in the direction you wish the tree to fall.
  9. Insert a wedge and make the final cut.
  10. Move away to a safe location and look up at the falling tree.
  11. Cut up the tree and remove all unwanted material.

Please remember safety is the most important aspect when doing a dangerous job like tree felling.

PRUNING AND TRIMMING

Just as us humans need to trim and and shave our beards and hair to look and feel in tip top shape, trees need to be taken care of as well. Applying the correct tree care tactics early on in a trees life can prevent numerous problems, almost like catching a disease right when it starts. In the wild trees are kept in shape by animals that trim away at small leaves and branches. Elephants however are natures natural tree pruners. They break off the low growing branches causing trees to grow more upwards and form a canopy on top.

Why would you want to trim your trees and shrubs?

  1. Tree trimming and pruning helps to stimulate new growth in crops and fruit trees.
  2. Trees that grow to big.
  3.  Forming a hedge or shape like lollypop.
  4. Removing of any dead branches and foliage.
  5. Clearing of overgrown fences.
  6. Hazardous branches that pose a risk to buildings, carports, walls, and other structures.

Pruning tips and tricks 

  • Use the correct pruning shears and equipment for the job.
  • Always make sure your pruning shears are sharp.
  • Make sure to prune branches as close to the trunk as possible for the best appearance.
