Require A Tree Felling Or Disassembling
The tree surgeons with whom we work are experts in the accurate taking down of big, difficult and unsafe trees within cramped areas. They’ve felled trees in difficult places and are adept at manoeuvring through tight spaces.
A range of tree removal techniques can be employed such as directional felling, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or specialist winch operations. The technique used will largely depend on the amount of space available.
Tree Felling
This is where the tree can be cut at the base and it will then fall to the ground without any damage. This technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. 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 of the tree, sections are cut and then lowered to safety and under control using lowering ropes/slings and sometimes 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
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 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm
Even though they’re often seen as being really durable and timeless, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.
How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally may lead to expensive restorations.
The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much easy. The harder decision is whether or not some of the trees still standing are salvageable.
Various trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing property & people in danger in several months or even years in the future.
Some other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction crews access to the building to start restorations on the affected buildings and power cables.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each one of these types of problem creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that may separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.
There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:
- Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or sag violently whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
- Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably increased danger to drop even though it survived the initial windstorm.
