Why Remove Trees

Trees are beautiful,they provide shelter and homes to wildlife, and add value to homes, and it's hard to imagine your property without them. Unfortunately, there often comes a time when an old, diseased or decaying tree has become a liability. When is it time to remove a tree? Ideally, before an accident happens.

It is generally recommended that a dead or terminally ill tree be removed as soon as possible. The longer the job is delayed, the more hazardous the tree becomes, and the more costly/dangerous the tree is to remove. Trees are often removed due to:

• Decay or Death
• Pests or Disease
• Storm Damage
• Building Works
• Outgrown it's area
• Dangerous Lean
• Crowding other trees
• Damaging Roots
• Bushfire Hazard

Trees play a vital role in the world's environment, along with the overall ambience of a home. Most residential properties have trees as they provide shade, shelter, privacy and beauty. Trees require maintenance, and the larger they grow, the more difficult it is for the home owner to look after them.

Palm Pruning and Removal

Whilst most Palm trees are self-cleaning and naturally shed their fronds, a few species such as the Canary Island Date and Cotton Palm require ongong care and periodic pruning to maintain the shape and beauty. This is a task best left to the professionals at Gold Coast Trees, who have the training and skills to prune and clean palms correctly and safely.

Palm tree removal is also a specialised service often requiring the palm to be sectionally removed from the top down - a process suitable for experienced arborists only.

Gold Coast Stump Grinding Services

No property owner wants an unsightly tree stump sitting in their backyard. Not only do tree stumps look untidy, they are a nuisance when it comes to maintaining the lawns, with inevitable grass and weeds growing around the edges of the wood. Tree stumps are also a safety/trip hazard, while attracting termites as the decay over time. With a decomposition period of over 20 years, a tree stump can be a major inconvenience for a very long time, if left to mother nature's means of disposal

Stump Grinding or Removal?

Tree stumps can be physically removed in either of two ways. Firstly, by excavation, whereby the entire stump, root ball and major root system is dug out of the ground with an excavator. Alternately, a Stump Grinder may be used to grind the stump into small chips, leaving the top of the stump buried below ground level.

Stump Removal using an excavator causes considerable damage to the grounds around the rootball, along with surrounding areas. The grounds may take some time to recover.

Stump grinding is cheaper, and has minimal effect on the grounds surrounding the stump. The cost of stump grinding varies depending on:

• Number of stumps
• Height of stumps
• Diameter of stumps
• Obstacles - fence etc
• Slope of ground
• Surrounding roots
• Species of tree
• Nearby pipes?
• Depth of grinding
