Tree Removal

Tree removal entails the safe and tidy removal of all tree material: we’ll remove it in such a way that surrounding trees and structures are not affected, and we’ll remove all waste material from your property.

When do trees need to be removed?

Trees may need to be removed if they are dying or dead, or healthy trees can be removed if they are no longer wanted on the land.

Tree removal happens most frequently in two scenarios:

1. When a tree is very near to a building and is at risk of causing subsidence
2. When a tree is diseased, damaged or dying through natural causes

It is mostly often the case that tree removal services will focus on older trees, but young trees sometimes inherit defects that cannot be pruned out. In these cases, felling and replacing the young tree is a good option.

Tree removal near buildings

Most commonly, when buildings are erected close to mature trees, the tree will not cause subsidence.

However, we sometime find that poor implication assessments pay little regard to mature trees, so mechanical damage to roots in particular will cause the tree’s demise.

In these situations felling in confined spaces will call for a careful specialist approach. Where we have unrestricted access, we use a series of tree roping techniques that allow us to dismantle the trees safely and without structural damage to property. Where access is limited, we will often need the use of a crane to carry away each section.

Thankfully we have years of experience in removing trees in tricky positions. You can browse our case studies to see some of our tree removal jobs.

The tree removal process

We take a systematic approach to tree removal, removing one section at a time to ensure a safe removal.
