Decomposition
The natural breakdown process is an essential part of the ecosystem, enabling trees and other organic matter to break down into simpler substances, contributing nutrients to the soil and supporting new plant growth. However, when trees decompose, they can become unstable, posing a risk to property and individuals. We have certified arborists who can assess the state of the tree and determine the best course of action, which may include tree removal, installing cables or braces, or other measures to mitigate any potential hazards such as pruning. It is important to act quickly when dealing with trees in this state to avoid any potential safety hazards or damage to your property.
