Must Read: How to Handle Mechanical Tree Damage

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario - Nov. 18, 2019 - PRLog -- Trees planted in an urban environment are faced with more challenges than those who are in a more natural setting. Urban trees have to battle with higher levels of air pollution, less space to grow, low-quality soil, harsh weather conditions and even mechanical damage. Five Star Tree Services wants you to understand the dangers of mechanical damage to trees so that you know how to properly care for your trees.

Is Mechanical Damage Fatal?
When a tree or shrub is struck by something such as a car, lawn care instruments or other forms of machinery, it is considered mechanical damage. In almost every instance, there is some form of injury to the tree when it is struck. Mechanical damage to trees can be fatal if the damage is serious enough and may require Richmond Hill tree removal services.

In the GTA when a tree in the city suffers from mechanical damage, there is always a report filed with the police department. An inspector will arrive on the scene to access if the tree has been fatally injured and requires removal. In some cases, the tree does suffer damage, but it can be repaired with proper love and care. If the tree has been fatally damaged and requires removal, a fine will be charged to the person who caused the damage. The cost will include the removal, the cost of the tree, and the cost of a new sapling.

Which Trees are in the Most Danger?
Though any age tree can become a victim of mechanical damage, it is young trees that are the most vulnerable. When there is any form of injury to the cambium layer it will affect the flow of the sap. Sap flow disruption will result in a weak tree which can leave it open to infestation by disease or insects.
