While we typically prefer retaining a tree in good health over removing or felling it, occasionally a tree may be in an inconvenient or unsuitable location. A tree may otherwise be in poor health, which may make it unsafe to keep. A variety of factors may indicate that certain trees are hazardous to people or property. For example, if they exhibit signs of waning health, decline or structural defects, an action such as tree removal may become necessary.
If you’re based in Dublin or Bray, Co. Wicklow, and have a tree problem, you can rest assured that Crown Tree Services has the means and experience to safely dismantle hazardous trees with expert efficiency.

Preventative pruning
Imagine if we removed every tree we perceived as a risk. Soon, there would be no trees left at all. Felling isn’t necessary in the majority of cases. Many trees situated closer to walls and houses can be safely maintained. We usually achieve this by keeping tree height and spread under control. I refer to this as preventative pruning. However it’s imperative you consult with an arborist to discuss options since a tree may appear healthy on the outside while defects and ailments may escape an untrained eye. Where trees are in closer proximity to people or property there is an elevated risk in the event of failure. Just because a tree is well maintained doesn’t preclude it from falling.
One way to reduce the size of a tree is with proper pruning practices such as crown thinning and crown reduction. Crown reduction can reduce the levering effect wind has on a tree as it blows against it. Less overall area and density throughout the tree’s crown generally means wind can pass through it more easily. This can reduce the risk of branch failure or the tree coming down during strong winds, although the suitability and effectiveness of this approach depend on the tree’s species, structure, condition and location. Contact a reputable Dublin tree surgeon or tree service provider such as Crown Tree Services. We’ll help establish which solution may be more suitable for your tree situation.
Risk
Unless the risk a tree poses clearly outweighs the benefit of keeping it, I prefer considering less extreme options. Contact us to arrange an assessment of your tree’s health, structure and situation. Wherever possible, I’ll discuss alternative solutions before making the difficult decision to take a tree down altogether, because once it’s gone, it’s gone. If there are concerns about safety, defects, subsidence, insurance or neighbouring-property risk, we can arrange for a surveying arborist to draw up a formal written assessment called a tree report. Tree surveys are a related service provided by Ciaran Keating of CMK Horticulture & Arboriculture.
