Don’t Risk Cheap Tree Loppers in Mornington Peninsula

Did you know that choosing a cheap tree lopper can lead to severe consequences for both your tree and property? Here’s why:

  • Stress to the tree: Cheap loppers often hack off branches without considering the tree’s health. This can cause the tree stress and may even potentially kill it.
  • Weak regrowth: Poor branch cuts lead to weak, unstable regrowth. This makes the tree prone to failure during storms or much reduced canopy/leaf coverage.
  • Increased risk of disease: Open wounds from improper tree cuts invite pests and decay, weakening the tree’s structure. In the case of termites, the damage to your home can cost thousands of dollars to rectify.
  • Property damage: Unqualified lopping can result in branches or entire trees falling. Trees left in a weakened state risk property damage to both your home and garden, and injury.
  • Legal and insurance issues: Tree lopping is often seen as an improper practice by certified arborist. Improper tree work can result in denied insurance claims.
