Need A Tree Disassembling Or Felling
Our tree surgeons are specialists in the accurate dismantling of difficult, dangerous and large trees within confined locations. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.
A variety of tree removal solutions maybe chosen such as directional felling, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or specialist winch operations. The technique they choose will depend on how much space is available.
Tree Felling
This is where the tree’s base is cut and then the tree falls in a controlled way. This method is only used in areas where the tree is not likely to cause damage to property or people. This technique is not always possible for large trees, as it takes a lot of space for them to fall.
Tree Dismantling
This is useful to avoid any damage to property or persons, in areas where there is not a lot of space. It takes a lot of skill to cut down 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 skilled at navigating tight spaces. They use the latest rigging techniques for the safe removal of trees from your garden.
To help prevent the fall going wrong, they will always use ropes and slings.
Storm Damage Tree Removal
If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified tree surgeon. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees
Despite the fact they’re often taken as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.
How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also can cause costly repair work.
The toughest decision following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly straightforward. The tougher decision is whether any of the trees left upright are salvageable.
Certain trees that have been partly affected in the storm may pose a possible future risk and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing property & people at risk in months or years in the future.
Some other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction companies easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power lines.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each one of these types of problem creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:
- Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or angle violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear below the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
- Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects such as 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 increased risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
Preserving Storm Damaged Trees
Our tree professionals will not only clear away fallen trees properly and without any further damage to buildings, but will additionally be able to give you functional advice on how to save or preserve existing trees that are still left standing, although they might have been damaged in the storm. Our very professional team can review the situation on your property and tell you which trees have gotten more than enough damage that they would die despite the fact that they were very carefully raised and replanted.
