Do You Need A Tree Disassembling Or Felling
The tree surgeons that we work with are are experts in the precise dismantling of difficult, dangerous and large trees inside confined places. They are skilled at navigating tight spaces and minimising noise and disruption.
A range of tree removal techniques can be used including specialist winch operations, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or directional felling. The technique they choose will depend on how much space is 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. 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 experts in working in tight spaces, and will safely remove trees from your garden using the latest rigging methods.
To prevent the the tree falling in the wrong direction, they always use ropes and slings. They may also use wedges to stop it from going the other way.

Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage
We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.
Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm
Despite the fact they are usually taken as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.
How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may result in costly repair work.
The toughest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The more difficult choice is whether any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.
Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm can present a potential future risk and may well need to be cut down and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years in the future.
Other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.
Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
Each one of these kinds of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.
There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:
- Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, 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 standing, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the original windstorm.
