Is It Time to Remove Your Trees?
Making decisions about the removal of trees is never easy. As a proactive approach to preventing damage to your property as well as ensuring the safety of both your family and neighbors, removing hazardous trees is typically the most effective course of action. At Majestic Tree Services New Brighton, we can assist in identifying what constitutes a hazardous condition, which indicates that a tree has transitioned from being a beneficial feature of your landscape to a liability.
- Hollows in the Trunk: Vertical splits in a tree trunk, along with hollow cavities in a tree trunk, are indicators of internal decay, indicating the structural integrity of the tree has been compromised.
- Sudden or Significant Leaning: Most trees will develop a natural lean due to wind and gravity; however, if a tree develops a significant lean over a short period of time, coupled with mounded soil and exposed roots near the base, this is a sign of a failing root system.
- Dead or Hanging Branches: Dead branches extending from the canopy pose an immediate risk to anyone under them and suggest that the tree is in a state of decline.
- Mushrooms Growing Around the Trunk or Root Flare: When conks (mushrooms) are found growing on the trunk or around the root flare of a tree, it generally indicates that the tree has developed internal root rot or heart rot.
- Trees Interfering with Structures or Power Lines: Trees that have outgrown their space and are encroaching on your roof, foundation, or utility lines may require removal to prevent costly structural repairs.
- Post-Storm Condition: After a Minnesota storm, if a tree loses more than 50% of its branches or has a main trunk split, the tree is likely to fail and create a hazard as a falling object.
If you are concerned about the stability of a tree located on your property, we can provide a professional hazard assessment. In addition to protecting your home, taking action now will allow you to begin planning for a safe and sustainable landscape design.
Tree Removal Safety Considerations
When it comes to removing trees from your property, there’s no task as dangerous as using big equipment while being off the ground. We take a very serious approach when it comes to our employees’ safety and the protection of your family and your home. Understanding the safety practices below can help ensure your safety, whether you’re evaluating the safety of a tree on your own property or you’ve hired a professional to remove your tree.
1. Safety Gear
Anytime a person climbs above the ground to operate large equipment, they require special protective gear. Never do or let anyone else do any tree work without wearing the following:
- Headgear: An ANSI-rated helmet (Type II) protects your head from damage caused by branches that could drop from above.
- Eye & Face Protection: Safety glasses or metal mesh face shields can help keep your eyes safe from debris that can blow into them while operating a chainsaw.
- Hearing Protection: Most chainsaws operate over 100db and can cause permanent hearing loss. Earmuffs rated at 30db are needed for ear protection.
- Chainsaw Chaps: The chaps are made out of special fibers that will stop a chainsaw blade from moving, thus preventing a severe injury to your legs.
- Steel-Toe Boots: These are sturdy boots with non-slip bottoms that will protect your feet from the weight of a large branch and provide you with good traction when walking on uneven terrain in MN.
2. Site Survey & Hazard Analysis
A full-site survey must be completed before making any cuts to determine what potential hazards may exist:
- Electrical Wires: Keep at least ten feet from overhead wires at all times. Consider all wires to be live until notified otherwise by your electric company.
- Structural Damage: Our trained arborists will check for structural damage, such as holes in the trunk or signs of decay, that could lead to a tree falling unpredictably in either direction.
- Drop Zone: Establish a clear drop zone area around the tree, approximately twice the height of the tree, to account for unpredictable bouncing or limb kickback.
- Underground Utilities: Before performing stump grinding or root removal, we locate underground utilities, including gas, water, and electricity, to avoid rupturing any lines.
3. Precision Cutting
Precision cutting is based on the principles of physics and movement.
- Directional Felling: To guide a tree to land safely, our professionals use a combination of notches and back-cuts to create a hinge of wood.
- Sectional Dismantling: When working in tight residential areas such as those found in New Brighton, instead of felling the tree at once, we dismantle the tree piece by piece from the top down using rigging and pulley systems.
- Escape Route: Each cutter should always have two escape routes planned at 45-degree angles from where the tree is expected to fall.
4. Weather
Inclement weather is also a major factor in how well we perform. Wind, freezing rain, or snow and rain can greatly increase the difficulty of climbing and cutting. We continuously watch the weather in the New Brighton area and will shut down operations if the weather creates a situation where the tree becomes unstable or the equipment we are using loses traction.
