The tree surgeons with whom we work are professionals in the accurate taking down of dangerous, difficult and, large trees within cramped locations. They’ve felled trees in difficult places and are adept at manoeuvring through tight spaces.
A variety of tree removal methods may be utilised including the use of cranes, specialist winch operations, directional felling or sectional dismantling. 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 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
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. It is difficult to dismantle 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 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.
They use ropes, slings and wedges to help the tree fall in the right direction.
It is not easy to take out the old stump of a tree that was cut down as part of a landscaping project but not removed.
Professional tree surgeons are the best people to help you remove the old stumps from your property, as they have all the necessary tools to make it a simple and straightforward task.
Stump extraction involves the removal or a reduction of the tree stump to a certain depth. It is typically between 150mm and 300mm. Any lateral roots belonging to the tree are also removed.
To ensure that the stump is removed, but the surrounding gardens are not damaged, stump grinding equipment is used. A stump grinder is a machine equipped with carbine-tipped tips and teeth that are attached to a large rotating shaft. The teeth attach at different angles in sequence around the wheel.
Once the stump is removed, the remaining holes will be filled in with soil or ground material to keep the work minimally traceable.
Tree Protection Orders (TPO's) And Tree Conservation Orders
Around the UK many trees are protected. Trees with a trunk size greater than 75mm at a trunk height of 1.5 metres are generally contained within the comprehensive conservation area cover. Trees will have to be assessed to find out if they’re subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if the tree(s) lie in a Conservation Area by consulting with your local area authority prior to scheduling any type of job. Our company can assist with the inspections and requests for work.
Crown Reduction And Reshaping
Is an operation which results in a total cutback in the height and/or spread of the crown of your tree through a complete pruning of branches and/or twigs, while at the same time preserving the fundamental form of the tree’s crown.
