Tree cutting is a vital part of maintaining safe, healthy, and visually appealing outdoor spaces. Trees enhance the environment, provide shade, and improve property aesthetics, but unmanaged growth or damage can pose risks to people and property. Professional tree cutting ensures that trees remain strong, safe, and healthy while preventing potential hazards. BSG Landscape & Construction Pte Ltd offers expert tree cutting services in Singapore, providing solutions for residential, commercial, and public spaces with certified arborists and experienced teams.
Why Tree Cutting is Essential
Proper tree cutting plays a significant role in maintaining tree health, protecting property, and ensuring safety. Overgrown, diseased, or damaged trees can compromise the integrity of nearby structures, sidewalks, and roadways. Trees with extended root systems may interfere with foundations or underground utilities, while overhanging branches may obstruct visibility or fall during storms. Regular tree cutting prevents accidents and reduces long-term repair costs.
Tree cutting also promotes tree health by removing dead, diseased, or dying branches. Removing these sections prevents disease from spreading to healthy parts of the tree, encourages new growth, and ensures a strong canopy structure. Well-maintained trees not only look aesthetically pleasing but also contribute to a safer environment for residents and visitors.
Tree cutting is crucial for aesthetic and environmental reasons. Controlled pruning and shaping of trees create balanced structures, allowing sunlight to penetrate gardens or outdoor spaces, promoting the growth of surrounding plants. Properly maintained trees increase the overall appeal of landscapes and improve property value while maintaining ecological benefits.
Types of Tree Cutting Services by BSG
BSG Landscape & Construction provides a comprehensive range of tree cutting services to address various needs, from removal and pruning to pollarding and crown management. Each service is performed with precision, safety, and consideration for tree health.
Tree Removal
Tree removal is necessary when a tree becomes hazardous due to disease, decay, or structural weakness. Dead or severely damaged trees can pose a threat to people, vehicles, and property, especially during heavy rain, thunderstorms, or stormy weather. Removing these trees promptly reduces the risk of accidents and structural damage.
BSG’s certified ISA arborists assess trees before any removal, ensuring safety and efficiency. Tree felling involves dismantling a tree section by section, starting from the top and working downwards. Each section is carefully removed to prevent damage to surrounding areas. Root grubbing and stump removal are performed to clear the site completely. Stumps are removed by grinding the main root ball approximately 150mm below ground level using advanced equipment, preventing regrowth and hazards.
Tree removal also addresses hidden hazards such as extensive root systems that could interfere with building foundations, driveways, or underground utilities. Removing roots through professional tree cutting helps preserve property integrity and reduces maintenance costs over time.
Tree Pruning
Tree pruning is an essential component of tree cutting, focusing on the health, safety, and structure of trees. BSG is trusted by over 250 clients, including corporates, residential complexes, and government projects, for precise and reliable tree pruning services. Pruning removes dead, dying, or diseased branches, preventing the spread of disease and promoting healthy growth.
Pruning also addresses safety concerns. Overhanging, broken, or unstable branches can fall during storms, causing injuries or property damage. Regular tree cutting and pruning mitigate these risks and maintain a stable tree structure.
Pruning techniques at BSG include:
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction reduces the height and spread of a tree’s canopy while maintaining its natural shape. Properly executed crown reduction typically reduces the canopy by 15% to 20%. BSG performs crown reduction by trimming branch tips and shortening extended limbs. This reduces the weight of potentially dangerous branches, balances misshapen trees, and minimizes the risk of storm damage. Crown reduction is especially beneficial for trees with substantial root decay, helping to prevent hazards while maintaining the tree’s natural form.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting increases the clear space below a tree’s foliage, ensuring pedestrian and vehicle access and improving visibility. Lower branches are removed to create clear sightlines, allowing light to pass through and reducing the weight of the tree. Gradual crown lifting preserves tree health while enhancing environmental benefits, such as improved airflow and sunlight penetration. It is particularly useful for trees obstructing footpaths, highways, or buildings.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning removes smaller, tertiary branches throughout a tree’s canopy to reduce density. BSG carefully removes branches that cross or rub against each other while avoiding “lion’s tailing,” which can weaken tree structure. Crown thinning balances branch weight, reduces wind resistance, and promotes healthy regrowth. This technique improves sunlight distribution and minimizes storm-related damage, making the tree safer and more stable.
Crown Reshaping
Crown reshaping restores a tree to a desired shape and condition. By cutting back to side branches, BSG creates a flowing branch line that enhances both safety and aesthetics. Reshaping is typically a one-time operation designed to ensure the tree remains structurally sound and visually appealing.
Crown Cleaning
Crown cleaning removes diseased, dying, or dead wood from the tree canopy. Stumps of broken branches, climbing plants, and unwanted shoots are eliminated to maintain a safe and healthy canopy. Only live wood is preserved, improving the tree’s overall stability and reducing hazards.
Tree Pollarding
Tree pollarding is a controlled tree cutting method used to limit the size of mature trees. By cutting back all limbs to the main trunk, lateral branch growth is encouraged, and tree size is maintained within restricted spaces. Pollarding enhances the tree’s lifespan, prevents deadwood hazards, and ensures the surrounding area remains safe and accessible. BSG performs pollarding two to three meters above ground, allowing trees to regrow in a structured and manageable form.
Techniques and Safety Measures
Professional tree cutting requires careful planning, expertise, and safety measures. BSG employs certified ISA arborists to assess tree conditions before any cutting or pruning operation. The team uses advanced machinery for stump grinding, sectional felling, and pruning, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding areas.
Gradual pruning techniques are applied to maintain tree health while reducing stress. All operations comply with Workplace Safety & Health regulations to protect workers, residents, and property. Safety is always a priority, with clear assessment of tree hazards, fall direction, and weight distribution before any cutting.
Benefits of Professional Tree Cutting
Professional tree cutting provides numerous advantages for both trees and property owners. Removing dead or diseased branches preserves tree health and encourages new growth. Proper pruning and pollarding prevent property damage and reduce the risk of accidents from falling branches.
Tree cutting also enhances the visual appeal of gardens, parks, and residential areas. Balanced tree structures allow sunlight and air to penetrate surrounding spaces, promoting healthier landscapes. Long-term maintenance through professional tree cutting reduces costly repairs caused by uncontrolled growth or storm damage.
