A variety of tree removal techniques may 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 when the tree is cut at its base and then it falls to the ground without damaging anything. 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 technique is often used in places where there is not a lot of space. Everything must be guided down to prevent any damage to property or people being injured. 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 skilled at navigating tight spaces. They use the latest rigging techniques for the safe removal of trees from your garden.

Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage
If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call 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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.
Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees
Even though they’re generally viewed as being really sturdy and eternal, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also may lead to expensive renovations.
The hardest decision after a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging decision is if some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.
Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm may well present a possible future hazard and might need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or years ahead.
Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.
Various Kinds Of Storm Damage
Every one of these kinds of damage leads to a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may well separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially six sorts of storm damage that a tree can not typically endure:
- Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the crown to fall or sag violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break underneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting 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 many additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably greater risk to fall despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
