When should you get a tree removed?
If a tree is not protected, you can remove it anytime you desire. However, an arborist is the only person trained to determine whether removal is appropriate for a tree.
There are many reasons you may want to remove your tree. Maybe it has started to deteriorate and has reached the end of its life. Removing the tree before it becomes a hazard to you and your home is essential. Suppose the tree is somehow damaged by a storm or disease or even a change in circumstances around the root area. Its structural integrity could be compromised. It would be best if you had it assessed by an arborist immediately. And complete tree removal may be the only viable option.
Finally, you may wish to have a tree removed for view improvement or property development reasons. Using an arborist to minimise the risks involved in any tree removal is still recommended.
Do you need council permission to remove a tree?
The short answer is "not usually". However, there are many protected trees in our beautiful part of New Zealand, so it does pay to check with the council. A simple phone call is all it takes to ask them, "Are there any protected trees on my property". If not, you do not need council consent to remove trees.
If your tree is protected, you will almost certainly need an arborist report prepared for the council to submit with your consent application. When a suitably qualified arborist recommends removing a tree for safety, the council will not deny the consent. However, if you want to remove or even prune a protected tree simply for view or development reasons, the council is unlikely to allow this.
The dangers of doing it yourself
Cutting down a tree might seem simple, but it can be hazardous if not done correctly. Not only can it harm the person attempting to cut it down, but it can also cause damage to surrounding buildings, power lines, and other trees. Additionally, cutting down trees can harm the environment by disrupting ecosystems and reducing oxygen production. It's essential to seek professional help or educate oneself on proper tree-cutting techniques before attempting to take down a tree.
Fallen & storm-damaged tree removal.
Being aware of the dangers posed by fallen and storm-damaged trees is essential. These trees can be unpredictable and pose a severe risk to people and property. When a tree falls or becomes damaged in a storm, it can be challenging to determine the extent of the damage and whether or not it's safe to approach. In some cases, a tree may appear to be stable but can suddenly collapse without warning. It's essential to keep a safe distance from fallen or damaged trees and seek a professional's help if you need to remove them. Safety should always come first when dealing with trees impacted by severe weather conditions.
