Decomposition
The natural breakdown process represents an essential part of the ecosystem, enabling organic materials to decompose 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 removing the tree, cabling or bracing, or other measures to mitigate any potential hazards like pruning or trimming. It is important to act quickly when dealing with decomposing trees to avoid any potential safety hazards or damage to your property.
