Need A Tree Felling Or Disassembling
The tree surgeons with whom we work are specialists in the accurate dismantling of big, awkward and unsafe trees inside cramped locations. They are experienced in removing trees from difficult locations and can manoeuvre through tight spaces.
A range of tree removal solutions may be employed such as the use of cranes, specialist winch operations, directional felling or sectional dismantling. 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 technique is only used when the risk that the tree could cause injury to anyone or damage property is very low. For large trees, however, this is often impossible due to the need for 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. It takes a lot of skill to cut down trees in sections. Beginning at the top, the tree is cut into manageable pieces. Finally, it’s lowered safely to the ground using lowering ropes or slings. Sometimes, a crane is used.
The tree surgeons that we work with are skilled at navigating tight spaces. They use the latest rigging techniques for the safe removal of trees from your garden.
To help prevent the fall going wrong, they will always use ropes and slings.
Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage
If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm
Even though they are often considered as being really solid and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate 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 & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will lead to costly restorations.
The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.
Various trees that have been in part damaged in the storm may well present a potential future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting property & people at risk in many months or years in the future.
Other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the building to start repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.
Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
Every one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.
There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can not generally sustain:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the trees crown to fall or sag strongly while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting 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 hits have a number of secondary effects including 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 considerably greater risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
