Tree Removal Checklist
2
If you have just bought some land and you want to
do some development on it you need to do some
little homework so you can know whether there are
any restrictions or legal implications related to
mature tree removal. In most areas you will be
required to acquire a permit from the local
authorities if you plan to remove a significant
tree from your property. There are local
government councils that have restrictions
regarding what species of trees that cannot be
removed or damaged even though they are in your
property. You may want to ask your nearest tree
removal expert whether they know about any such
laws regarding trees that are protected for one
reason or another.
3
Dont assume that your property is perhaps
outside the areas where trees are officially
protected make sure that you apply for
permission to do tree removal so as to avoid
paying hefty fines that are imposed to protect
particular trees. Always do your research first
before you even contact a tree cutting service
provider.
4
Most of them will be more than willing to do the
research for you and in cases where a license is
actually required, they can assist by speeding up
the process of application this can normally
take several days if not weeks and it could
easily derail any development plans you could be
having. The good news is that tree removal
contractors regularly deal with these issues and
they should be able to show exactly what you must
do.
5
Dont be like those homeowners who believe that
after you have cut down a tree that becomes the
end of the story. It is always important to
remember that there is a complex ecosystem in
your backyard where different plants depend on
one another and the simple act of removing a
single tree will create a lot of changes. This
is why arborists will normally advise after
weighing the pros and cons of removing a
particular tree and what consequences are likely
to follow. You want to know whether that tree
has been a sanctuary for some wildlife species or
it has been providing a much needed shadow for
other plants.
6
Some of the important reasons for tree removal
will include when the presence of that particular
tree becomes a hazard or it could be blocking
what could otherwise be a great view. But even
when that needs to be done, proper assessment
must be done so that the removal of the root
network does not adversely affect irrigation and
plumbing systems in addition to the foundations
of nearby homes.
7
This informs the reason you should always involve
a professional tree specialist who will look at
the positioning of the tree and advise
accordingly you dont want to do a successful
tree removal exercise only to be left with an
ugly stump that cannot be removed.
