Do You Need A Tree Felling Or Disassembling
The tree surgeons that we work with are are professionals in the correct taking down of big, hazardous and difficult trees within cramped areas. They can handle difficult situations, and they are able to navigate tight spaces. This allows them to keep noise and disruption down to a minimum.
A range of tree removal methods maybe chosen such as the use of cranes, specialist winch operations, directional felling or sectional dismantling. It all depends on the available space as to which method they will use.
Tree Felling
This is where the tree can be cut at the base and it will then fall to the ground without any damage. This technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. This technique is not always possible for large trees, as it takes a lot of space for them to fall.
Tree Dismantling
This technique is often used in places where there is not a lot of space. Everything must be guided down to prevent any damage to property or people being injured. This is a skilled job that involves removing trees in sections. Start at the top of the tree and cut into manageable sections. Then, safely and under control, the tree is lowered to ground using lowering ropes and/or slings. In some cases, a crane may be used.
The tree surgeons that we work with have the ability to navigate through tight spaces and can safely remove trees from your garden using the most recent rigging techniques.

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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.
Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm
Despite the fact they’re often considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may lead to costly repair work.
The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The harder possibility is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.
Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm may pose a potential future hazard and might have to be chopped down and took away to avoid putting property & people in danger in months or years ahead.
Other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected structures and power cables.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each of these sorts of damage leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.
There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:
- Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or to bend violently even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
- Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
