Do You Require A Tree Felling Or Disassembling

The tree surgeons that we work with are are specialists in the accurate taking down of cumbersome, large and dangerous trees inside restricted locations. They can handle difficult situations, and they are able to navigate tight spaces. This allows them to keep noise and disruption down to a minimum.

A range of tree removal techniques can be used such as sectional dismantling, directional felling, specialist winch operations or the use of cranes. 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 technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. It is sometimes impossible to remove large trees in this way, as they require a lot of space to fall.

Tree Dismantling

It is used when space is restricted. All debris must be directed down so as to not cause any property damage or injury to others. 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 experts in working in tight spaces, and will safely remove trees from your garden using the latest rigging methods.

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

Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re typically taken as being really sturdy and timeless, trees can certainly become defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The toughest option following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly easy. The harder decision is whether any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm may present a future threat and may have to be cut down and took out to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t normally stand up to:

  • Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, leading to the crown to come down or sag violently while the lower part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
  • Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased risk to drop even if it survived the original windstorm.
