Project Objective: Removal of hazardous tree
Location: Saanich
Date: April 2022

At this property the ATC team was called in to inspect a hazardous tree at a home up in Saanich. What might have started out as a relatively safe tree in the yard causing no trouble, has now grown into being quite dangerous. It's common that when trees grow old they can weaken, or pick up some disease.

After the tree was inspected by one of our arborists, we noticed that the tree was leaning more than an acceptable level, there were lots of dying branches, and some of the roots were exposed above the surface. All common signs of a failing tree.

Tree inspections provide a cost effective way to help you understand and mitigate against potentially costly damage caused by trees to your or your neighbors' property.

As a property owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your trees do not pose a risk to people and property. It is recommended you carry out a tree risk assessment to determine the potential risks and to identify what work can be carried out to help mitigate the risks.

Have a look through some of the photos from the job.
