Decomposition
The natural breakdown process is an essential part of the ecosystem, allowing organic materials to break down into simpler substances, contributing nutrients to the soil and supporting new plant growth. However, when trees decompose, they can become weak and brittle, 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 removing the tree, cabling or bracing, or other measures to mitigate any potential hazards such as pruning. It is important to act quickly when dealing with decomposing trees to avoid any potential safety hazards or property damage.
