Most tree pruning does not require council approval, so long as it is done in a sensitive and legal manner. However, the removal of significant trees is governed by the “Significant tree act.” This protects all trees with a girth of more than 2 metres, as measured at one metre above ground.
This means that if you want to remove a significant tree, you will probably need council approval, but ring the council first because not all areas are covered by the significant tree act. The approval process differs between councils, but most of them will ask for an arborists report to be issued with a development application.
If not, keep a watchful eye on it during periods of drought and provide supplemental water as needed.
Some trees are sensitive to high winds, salt spray, drought, too much water or root competition from other plants. Know these sensitivities and avoid exposing the tree to those stressors. We can advise you.
I had Jacob in during last winter. He was on time, kept working even when weather was very wet (thankfully not windy). All timber was cleaned up and neatly put to the side as per my request. Honest, on time and reliable
promptly reponded to my query, good advise was given for my overgrown fruit trees and they were quick to get the pruning and three removals done.
Very quick to respond……quoted same afternoon and a lot of work done less than 24 hours later by two very efficient,skilled and friendly guys who tidied up extremely well before leaving. Will definitely be using Jacob’s Ladder Tree Service again. We highly recommend 🙂 …
Jacob Hibbard has done a couple of jobs for clients of my design practice, including removing one of the biggest trees I've ever seen which sadly was half destroyed in a storm. He knows his stuff and his work is excellent. He's prompt, reliable and reasonably priced. I'll use Jacob's Ladder again!
Felled a 12m tree with 4 trunks situated about 2m from the house...no damage and very professional. Getting him back to clean up dead limbs on other trees.
Highly recommend. Great job well done on two separate occasions.
