The tree removal process 

Removing a tree is a high risk, labour intensive job and should always be carried out by professional experienced arborist. Our team of arborist work together as a team and have mastered the entire tree removal process, using climbing techniques, rigging equipment, cranes, cherry pickers, chipping machines and chain saws. This means we can provide our clients with most efficient cost effective plan to safely remove any tree. 

 The removal process begins with devising a tailored plan specific to each tree being removed. Our expert team of climbers and ground crew then begin dismantling the tree safely. In circumstances where access for large equipment is limited, one of our climbers will use safety harnesses and ropes to scale the tree. The tree is then dismantled by the climber and quickly processed by our hard working ground crew, with all branches being feed through a large chipping machine. This machine produces garden mulch from the debris, which can be repurposed for our clients garden or removed from site in our trucks. Now all that’s left is a tidy up! We take pride in completing each and every job to a high standard of satisfaction. This means we guarantee your property is always left clear and free of all leaves and debris.

Tree fallen 

Tree fallen is an efficient technique for removing trees. This technique can only be applied when this is a adequate amount of room surrounding the tree, such as on farm land or large block clearings. We use a felling technique called scarfing” this technique gives our arborist control over the direction the tree will fall. With the entire tree on the ground at once we can quickly process all branches and debris. 

Confined space tree removal 

If a tree is located in confined space, growing over buildings or unmovable valuables. the tree is dismantled  using climbing techniques with  ropes and pulleys. This allows our ground crew to safely  control the descent of each branches cut by the climber. Once all of the branches are cut down we begin removing sections of the trunk until we reach ground
