Need A Tree Disassembling Or Felling
The tree surgeons with whom we work are pros in the precise dismantling of hazardous, awkward and, big trees within restricted locations. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.
A range of tree removal techniques may be employed such as specialist winch operations, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or directional felling. The choice of the method will depend on the space available.
Tree Felling
This is where the tree is cut from the base and then it falls to the ground in a controlled fashion. This technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. It is sometimes impossible to remove large trees in this way, as they require a lot of space 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. 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 are experts in working in tight spaces, and will safely remove trees from your garden using the latest rigging methods.
To stop it from falling in the opposite direction, they use ropes and/or 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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm
Although they’re often viewed as being really solid and eternal, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also can lead to costly repair work.
The most difficult option after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.
Various trees that have been partly damaged in the storm can pose a potential future hazard and might have to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting people & property at risk in many months or years to come.
Some other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to take away the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to begin restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each one of these sorts of problem leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.
There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:
- Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to come down or to sag violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
- Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher danger to fall even if it endured the initial storm.
