TREE REMOVAL IN CHRISTCHURCH

Fortunately this is false information, Cabbage trees are fair game for removal if they are on your property. All though very messy due to their shedding of dead leaves, Cabbage tree's can look very attractive with the right pruning methods from our arborists in Christchurch. We can climb up the tree and remove all dead leaves, unwanted branches and give the tree a good thinning out, this promotes healthy growth and is an excellent way to get light into your property without compromising the trees over all shape. We will often remove ALL the waste associated with a cabbage tree removal project. All the leaf material off a cabbage tree is non compostable meaning we have to dump the material as general rubbish, This can sometimes increase the cost of tree removal. On the contrary our large woodchopper can easily handle 12inch diameter clean cabbage tree logs which dramatically decreases the dumping costs! WIN, WIN!

There are multiple different factors involved when it comes to the cost of your tree removal project. Access to the tree, How close can we get our equipment, Is the tree growing over a house or any structures, fencing, power lines etc. Is the wood staying onsite as logs or are we removing all the material. Do we need to manage footpath or road traffic and pedestrians? Is the tree dead or diseased or have any further complications like snapped out branches. All these factors will be quickly analyzed by our Qualified Arborist whilst on your property and they will often offer the cheapest option for your individual situation. WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE WASTE? All the branch material gets fed through our large wood chipper and turned into beautiful wood chip, garden mulch. We give our clients first option to keep their wood chips onsite, If not needed then we will remove for free!

Simple answer, Yes. However, Tree topping is a very old and un professional tree pruning technique, It creates large wounds in the canopy the tree which often fail to heal correctly and become cavities for fungi, water/rot and disease. We don't recommend it but we certainly do it as a last resort method or perhaps a line of shelter belt trees which would get topped at approximately 4/5m in order for the future maintenance to be carried out with a shelter belt machine. A lot of the time Tree Topping can lead to severe ill health and even death of the tree. Some species are more resilient than others.
