Two recent incidents highlight just how important regular tree inspections and proactive management can be, particularly as autumn weather brings stronger winds.
An uprooted Beech tree in Gorleston
A mature Beech tree uprooted overnight, falling into a neighbouring driveway. Interestingly, our team had carried out a tree survey at the property back in 2015, but none of the recommendations made at the time had been followed.
A hazardous branch over a public footpath
We also received an urgent call from a parish council after a groundsman spotted a large, dead branch hanging over a public footpath. With wind gusts reaching 26mph, the potential risk to pedestrians was a serious concern.
A reminder: don't wait until something goes wrong
Regular professional tree surveys can identify potential hazards, assess tree health and provide recommendations for appropriate management BEFORE problems escalate.
Acting on those recommendations is equally important. Proactive tree care can help reduce risks to people and property, while potentially avoiding costly emergency work and damage.
At Ace of Spades, we provide professional tree inspections, surveys and tree management advice across Norfolk and the surrounding areas.
