Tree Felling

The felling of a tree is usually a task best suited to professionals. Our tree surgeons are fully licensed and qualified to fell trees. You may want to have a tree felled when it dies or when it is a danger to the general public, but sometimes a tree is just no longer wanted.

Tree Felling Techniques

The type of cut used will depend upon the location, its situation, and position.
Sectional Cut - in an environment with confined or restricted space, sectional felling is the most practical method to avoid collissions with surroundings.
Felling Cut - cutting at bottom with a directional notch can be used for directional felling, but when a tree has been infested, it is necessary to cut higher up.
Crosscutting - this will be necessary for larger logs and will be performed on sections that have already been felled.

Safety

Safety is an area we make no exceptions in, and of utmost importance when heavy machinery is required.
Felling requires a great amount of care and precision - all of our tree surgeons are fully insured and qualified, so you can be sure the task will be completed to a high standard. We carry out health and safety risk assessments in order to prepare the site for any measures that need to put in place. The planning of a felling is done with both the tree and the surroundings in mind.

Clean and tidy

While felling can leave a lot of debris and mess, we always make sure the area is cleaned up and will dispose of materials where necessary.
You can of course request we leave anything to you!

Situation Assessment

Our tree surgeons make sure to comply with Tree Protection Orders when undertaking work. If your tree needs to be felled, then we will make all the necessary checks beforehand. Our checks include but are not limited to:

  • Risk Assessments
  • Conservation Areas
  • Tree Preservation Orders
