Do You Require A Tree Felling Or Disassembling
The tree surgeons that we work with are are pros in the accurate taking down of cumbersome, hazardous and large trees within restricted places. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.
A range of tree removal techniques maybe used such as specialist winch operations, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or directional felling. It all depends on the available space as to which method they will use.
Tree Felling
This is where the tree’s base is cut and then the tree falls in a controlled way. This is only done in areas that are safe from any potential damage to property or others. This technique is not always possible for large trees, as it takes a lot of space for them to fall.
Tree Dismantling
It can be used when there isn’t enough space to simply fell the tree. The entire process must be carefully guided to avoid any injury to people or damage to property. It takes skill to remove trees in sections. Starting at the top, the tree must be cut into manageable sections. Next, the tree must be safely and securely lowered to earth using lowering ropes, slings, or in certain cases a crane.
The tree surgeons that we work with are experts in working in tight spaces, and will safely remove trees from your garden using the latest rigging methods.
They use ropes, slings and wedges to help the tree fall in the right direction.

Storm Damage Tree Removal
We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.
Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees
Although they’re typically taken as being really strong and timeless, trees may become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly restorations.
The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty straightforward. The harder choice is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.
Various trees that have been moderately injured in the storm might pose a potential risk and may well need to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or years in the future.
Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked with guy wires or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.
Different Sorts Of Storm Damage
Every one of these types of problem results in an unique outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are generally six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:
- Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to come down or to bend strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially greater danger to fall even though it survived the initial storm.
