Need A Tree Disassembling Or Felling
The tree surgeons who work with us are pros in the correct dismantling of awkward, unsafe and large trees inside cramped areas. They’ve felled trees in difficult places and are adept at manoeuvring through tight spaces.
A variety of tree removal techniques can be chosen such as sectional dismantling, directional felling, specialist winch operations or the use of cranes. 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
It can be used when there isn’t enough space to simply fell the tree. The entire process must be carefully guided to avoid any injury to people or damage to property. 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 have the ability to navigate through tight spaces and can safely remove trees from your garden using the most recent rigging techniques.
To stop it from falling in the opposite direction, they use ropes and/or slings.
Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

Handling Storm Damaged Trees
Although they’re usually viewed as being really solid and timeless, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can lead to expensive repair work.
The hardest decision following a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.
Various trees that have been partially harmed in the storm can present a potential hazard and may well have to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing people & property at risk in many months or years in the future.
Some other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with various other 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 professionals can be trusted to take away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.
Different Sorts Of Storm Damage
All of these sorts of problem creates a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.
There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or lean violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split beneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
- Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
