Tree Felling
Comprehensive Tree Felling Services
The Straight Fell
Tree felling is the process of cutting down a tree and removing it from the site. We are often called in to provide this service, as tree felling can be a complex and potentially hazardous task that requires specialized knowledge and equipment.
​
The process of tree felling typically involves the following steps:
-
The tree surgeon will assess the tree and the surrounding area to determine the best approach to felling the tree. This may involve considering factors such as the tree's size, location, and any potential hazards, such as nearby buildings or power lines.
-
The tree surgeon will then create a felling plan, which outlines the direction in which the tree will fall and any safety measures that will be put in place.
-
If necessary, the tree surgeon will use ropes and pulleys to guide the tree's fall and prevent it from causing damage to nearby structures or property.
-
Once the tree is felled, the tree surgeon will cut the tree into manageable sections and remove them from the site.
-
Any remaining stump or root system can then be removed using stump grinding or other techniques.
It's important to note that tree felling can be a dangerous task, and should only be performed by a trained and experienced professional. We have specialized training and equipment to ensure that tree felling is done safely and effectively, and to minimize the risk of damage or injury.
​
In addition, tree felling may require a permit or permission from local authorities, especially if the tree is located in a public area or is protected by conservation laws. We can provide guidance and support to ensure that all necessary permits and permissions are obtained before work begins.
Sectional Dismantle
A sectional tree dismantle is a technique we use to safely remove a tree in sections, rather than felling the entire tree at once. This technique is often used when a tree is located in a confined space or near structures or property that could be damaged by falling limbs or debris.
​
The process of a sectional tree dismantle typically involves the following steps:
-
The tree surgeon will assess the tree and the surrounding area to determine the best approach to dismantling the tree. This may involve considering factors such as the tree's size, location, and any potential hazards, such as nearby buildings or power lines.
-
The tree surgeon will then create a dismantling plan, which outlines the direction and order in which the tree's branches and sections will be removed.
-
The tree surgeon will climb the tree using specialized equipment and techniques, such as ropes and harnesses, and begin removing the tree's branches and sections one at a time.
-
Each section of the tree will be carefully lowered to the ground using rigging techniques, such as pulleys and ropes.
-
Once all of the sections have been removed, the tree surgeon will remove any remaining stump or root system using stump grinding or other techniques.
The use of climbing and rigging techniques in a sectional tree dismantle allows the tree surgeon to safely remove the tree in sections, while minimizing the risk of damage or injury to nearby structures or property. We have specialized training and equipment to ensure that this technique is done safely and effectively, and to minimize the risk of damage or injury.
​
It's important to note that a sectional tree dismantle can be a complex and potentially hazardous task, and should only be performed by a trained and experienced professional. We may also need to obtain permits or permission from local authorities before beginning work, especially if the tree is located in a public area or is protected by conservation laws.
