Do You Require A Tree Felling Or Disassembling

The tree surgeons that we work with are are specialists in the correct dismantling of big, unsafe and difficult trees inside confined locations. They are skilled at navigating tight spaces and minimising noise and disruption.

A variety of tree removal techniques can be utilised including directional felling, sectional dismantling, the use of cranes or specialist winch operations. The choice of the method will depend on the space available.

Tree Felling

This is where the tree’s base is cut and then the tree falls in a controlled way. This method is only used in areas where the tree is not likely to cause damage to property or people. For large trees, however, this is often impossible due to the need for a lot of space for them to fall.

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 takes skill to remove 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.

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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are typically viewed as being durable and eternal, trees may end up being defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally can lead to costly restorations.

The toughest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The more difficult possibility is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm can present a future threat and may well have to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing people & property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage results in a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to disregard a small detail that can separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

  • Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to come down or angle strongly while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
  • Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially increased risk to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
