Require A Tree Felling Or Disassembling

The tree surgeons with whom we work are specialists in the precise taking down of big, dangerous and cumbersome trees inside cramped locations. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.

A range of tree removal techniques can be utilised such as the use of cranes, specialist winch operations, directional felling or sectional dismantling. The technique they choose will depend on how much space is 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 of removing a tree is best used when there is no risk that it will cause any damage to people or property. This technique is not always possible for large trees, as it takes a lot of space for them 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. This is a skilled job that involves removing 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.

To help prevent the fall going wrong, they will always use ropes and slings.

Storm Damage Tree Removal

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually seen as being really solid and permanent, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to costly repairs.

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The harder possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm may present a possible future threat and might have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing property & people at risk in many months or even years to come.

Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others will require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically stand up to:

  • Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to come down or to sag strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
  • Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes 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 higher risk to drop even though it made it through the original windstorm.

Securing Storm Damaged Trees

Our tree specialists will not only dispose of upended trees safely and with no additional damage to buildings, but will additionally be able to give you practical advice on how to save or preserve existing trees that are still standing, despite the fact that they may well have been damaged in the windstorm.
