We all have particular trees we love. A client of ours had a large Chinese Elm tree in her front yard that her family adored. They knew it was time for it to be trimmed, due to the substantial weight of the branches. The heavy branches had come from all the new growth that the rain season produced. However, due to their budget they decided to hold off on their annual trimming.
A few months later, additional rain came and the tree got so heavy it suddenly split right down the middle. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, it then became an emergency. Our crew came out right away to save what was left of the tree. We ended up cutting a 3rd of the tree away from the split section.
Looking back our client regretted not taking care of their favorite tree sooner. The emergency job ended up being the same price as if she had simply done the annual trimming and the entire tree would have still been standing today.
Moral of the story is… if your tree looks heavy, don’t wait. Have us come out and take a look at it, complimentary. We’ll catch those potential accidents before they become emergencies.
