CASE STUDY

Fallen European larch in Oxted, Surrey

We received a call out in Oxted, Surrey. A European larch had fallen due to storm Henk and a history of decay at the tap roots which had previously made the tree unstable.

January’s high winds and storms have caused widespread damage to unstable trees. Storm Henk hit England on 2nd January with 58-81 mph winds across the country.

The customer was fortunate to have escaped any damage to their tennis court. The prompt action taken by our team ensured that potential hazards were eliminated promptly and efficiently.

We shedded off the branches before chipping them into our van, the team not only cleared the area but also ensured that no debris was left behind.

We then stacked the logs along the fence line as per the customer’s request. This demonstrated our commitment to meeting specific requirements. Additionally, we went above and beyond by addressing other potential risks. We recognized that a large spruce had snapped out at its top, which could have posed a danger in the future. We took it upon ourselves to reduce this tree safely. This ensured that no further damage could be caused.

Furthermore, we identified a dead European Larch that could potentially damage telephone cables if it were to fall over. To prevent this, we utilized our cherry picker for safe access and removed this hazardous tree.

This incident highlights the importance of regularly checking and maintaining trees on your properties. Trees are living organisms that require care and attention just like any other aspect of our surroundings. Neglecting them can lead to unforeseen accidents or damage.

Regular inspections by trained professionals like Tree Marshalls Ltd can help identify weak or diseased trees before they become hazardous. Proper pruning techniques can also be employed to ensure healthy growth while minimizing risks associated with falling branches or trees.

In conclusion, this incident serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to prioritize tree maintenance on your properties. Taking proactive measures not only protects your assets but also ensures the safety of yourselves and others around us.
