Tree Felling and Removal

Our Area of Expertise

We provide comprehensive, professional tree felling and removal services, tailored to safely dismantle trees in both open areas and the most confined or sensitive locations. Whether a tree is dead, diseased, structurally unsound, storm-damaged, or simply outgrowing its space, our qualified arborists have the skills, equipment, and experience to remove it efficiently, responsibly, and with minimal disruption.

Every removal is planned with precision. Our team carries out detailed assessments to identify the safest and most appropriate method for the site, taking into account tree condition, surrounding structures, access constraints, and environmental considerations. In line with BS3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations, we work to reduce disturbance to the surrounding landscape and ensure all operations meet recognised arboricultural best practice.

For trees in restricted or high-risk areas, we use advanced techniques such as sectional dismantling, rigging systems, and, where appropriate, crane-assisted removals. These controlled methods allow us to lower branches and timber safely, protecting nearby buildings, gardens, vehicles, and the public at all times.

All debris is removed from site unless requested otherwise, and timber can be cut to size for firewood or habitat creation. We also offer stump grinding as an additional service, allowing the area to be fully reclaimed for future planting, landscaping, or development.

If you need safe, reliable, and fully compliant tree removal, our team is equipped to deliver a professional service from initial assessment to final site clearance.

If your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or in a Conservation Area, permission is required. We can check this for you and help with the application if needed.
