Felling and platform removal

tree is diseased, dead or dying, or it could be because it’s affecting the foundations of nearby buildings. Felling a tree means that we remove it completely and this can be done in two ways: through directional felling or sectional felling. 

Directional felling

If there is enough room around the tree we use directional felling. This is when we take the tree down in one go. We do this from the ground, where we use precise cuts to make a hinge in the trunk and then take the tree down safely in one fell swoop. Our stringent safety measures and expertise ensure that the safety of your property and our staff is guaranteed.

Sectional felling

When space is confined, and directional felling isn’t possible, we remove the trees by sectional felling. Operating on the tree at height, we climb up using harnesses and ropes, and then use our expertise and experience to work with our tools and equipment within the tree. We remove the tree a section at a time and lower these sections safely to the ground.

Platform removal of dead and dying trees

Sometimes a tree is too high or too dangerous for us to climb, but there’s also not enough room to take it down in one go. This is when we use our specialist mobile elevated platforms, which we also use when there is only narrow access to the tree. Our platforms allow us to safely remove dead, dying and dangerous trees without needing to work within them. In the interests of the environment, as with all our tree removal, we can advise on suitable species that can be used as a replacement and we also offer replanting services.
