Need A Tree Felling Or Disassembling
The tree surgeons with whom we work are specialists in the accurate dismantling of unsafe, complicated and, large trees inside cramped places. They’ve felled trees in difficult places and are adept at manoeuvring through tight spaces.
A range of tree removal procedures can be chosen including specialist winch operations, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or directional felling. The technique used will largely depend on the amount of 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 method is only used in areas where the tree is not likely to cause damage to property or people. But, large trees may not be able to be felled in this way due to the amount of space required to fell a tree.
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 is difficult to dismantle trees in sections. Beginning at the top, the tree is cut into manageable pieces. Finally, it’s lowered safely to the ground using lowering ropes or slings. Sometimes, a crane is used.
The tree surgeons that we work with are extremely skilled in manoeuvring through tight spaces. They also use the most up-to-date rigging techniques to remove the trees safely from your garden.
To help prevent the fall going wrong, they will always use ropes and slings.

Storm Damage Tree Removal
If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.
Managing Storm Damaged Trees
Although they’re generally viewed as being solid and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.
How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to costly repairs.
The most difficult option following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much simple. The more difficult possibility is whether or not any of the trees still upright can be saved.
Various trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm may well pose a possible future hazard and may have to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.
Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked down with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to begin restorations on the affected properties and power lines.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each one of these sorts of problem results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
