You wouldn’t think it but the snow fall we had at the weekend caused Trees to fail,This is because of the weight of the snow sitting on the branches then of course when the snow turns to ice it gets even heavier.
Chaffin Tree Surgery had an early morning call out to fallen tree blocking a road and lots of snapped branches on other trees around Eastbourne.
We recommend that you have you Trees closely looked at once a year to make sure they are safe and healthy.
If you are worried or night advice then give us a ring on 01323 504620 and if you have an Emergency then call the office number and that will give you a number.

A 120ft Redwood in Haywards Heath had been stuck by lightning during a storm causing a spilt in the main stem which day light could be seen.
Chaffin’s tree care professionals had to undertake sectional dismantle of the top 30ft down to sound wood this had to be done using a Mobile Elevated Work Platform…(MEWP) because the tree was very unsafe to climb.
To make matter more complicated there was a house directly under the tree and with the wind gusting this made the job very difficult.
