Decomposition
The natural breakdown process represents an essential aspect of the ecosystem, enabling trees and other organic matter to break down into simpler substances, providing 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 tree removal, cabling or bracing, or other measures to mitigate any potential hazards like pruning or trimming. It is important to act quickly when dealing with trees in this state to avoid any potential safety hazards or property damage.
