What Tree Removal Involves
Tree removal is more than simply cutting a tree down. A thorough job includes assessing the safest method of removal, managing access to the site, controlled felling or sectional dismantling, removing or chipping the arisings, and leaving the ground in good order. Depending on your requirements, we can also grind out the remaining stump to allow replanting or construction on the cleared ground.
Where access is restricted or the tree is close to buildings, boundaries or services, our team will use ropes, rigging and sectional techniques to bring the tree down safely in manageable pieces.
Legal Considerations Before Removal
Before any tree removal takes place it is important to establish whether the tree is protected. Trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a designated conservation area require consent from the local planning authority before work begins. Carrying out removal without the appropriate consent can result in significant penalties.
Our arborists can identify whether a tree is protected and advise on the correct process. This is something we cover as a matter of course during a site visit.
