Safe and Controlled Tree Felling
Tree felling requires careful planning to reduce risks to people, property and the surrounding area.
Our team assesses the tree, its condition, available space and nearby features before deciding how the work should be completed.
Depending on the site, a tree may be felled in one piece or removed carefully in sections. We use suitable equipment and controlled working methods throughout the process, keeping the work area managed while removing trees safely and with as little disruption as possible.
Our Tree Felling Services
We provide tree felling services for a wide range of situations, from individual garden trees to larger, damaged or difficult trees. Every job is planned around the condition of the tree, its surroundings, available access and the space on site.
Our services include sectional tree felling, straight tree felling, emergency tree felling and the removal of dangerous, storm-damaged and large trees. We choose a suitable method for each job, helping keep the work controlled while reducing disruption to nearby buildings, gardens, boundaries and other surrounding areas.
Sectional Tree Felling
Sectional tree felling is suitable when there is not enough space to safely fell a complete tree in one piece.
We remove the tree gradually in manageable sections, providing greater control when working around buildings, fences, gardens, roads and other nearby features.
Straight Tree Felling
Straight tree felling involves bringing the tree down in one controlled piece and is generally suitable for locations with enough clear space.
We assess the tree’s size, condition, natural lean, intended direction of fall and surroundings before deciding whether this felling method is appropriate.
Emergency Tree Felling
Trees can sometimes require urgent attention following severe weather, sudden damage or unexpected failure.
Our emergency tree felling service deals with trees that may present an immediate safety concern. We assess the situation carefully before determining a controlled and suitable approach to removing the affected tree.
Dangerous Tree Felling
A dead, unstable or badly damaged tree can present a risk to people, buildings and surrounding areas.
We provide dangerous tree felling using methods suited to the condition, size and location of the tree, carefully planning each stage to manage risks throughout the removal process.
Storm-Damaged Tree Felling
Strong winds and severe weather can split branches, weaken trunks or leave entire trees unstable.
We assess storm-damaged trees to determine the extent of the damage and whether removal is required. When felling is necessary, we carefully plan the work around the tree’s condition and surroundings.
Large Tree Felling
Large trees require careful planning because of their height, weight and the space required for removal.
We assess nearby buildings, boundaries, access and other surrounding features before starting. Depending on the location, we can use sectional or straight felling methods to remove the tree in a controlled way.
Do You Need Permission to Fell a Tree?
Permission may be required before certain trees can be felled. Trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order normally require consent from the local planning authority before work takes place.
Trees within conservation areas can also be subject to specific requirements, while a felling licence may be needed in some circumstances.
Before arranging any work, it is important to check whether restrictions apply to the tree or property. We recommend confirming the relevant requirements before felling begins, helping ensure the work follows current rules and that any necessary permission or consent has been obtained in advance.
