Everything You Need to Know
Tree felling, or, in layman’s terms, the cutting down of a tree, is one of the most common tree surgery jobs that we carry out. What does it involve, though, and when is it needed? Luckily for you, we can answer both of those questions! Here is everything you need to know about tree felling, helping you to make the right choice for your property.
What Does Tree Felling Involve?
It’s easy to assume that tree felling involves nothing more than chopping a tree down and hoping for the best. While that might be the approach a novice would take, that’s not how we do things here at Essex Tree Brothers. We begin by carrying out a thorough inspection of the tree. We will also take note of its location, nearby structures, and any potential hazards. Using this information, we will then take one of two approaches:
- Sectional dismantling: this is where we cut down a tree in parts, starting from the top and working our way down
- Straight felling: this sees us cut the tree down in one motion from the base, guiding it to fall in a specific direction
The goal is always to remove your tree as safely and quickly as possible, and we will work hard to balance the two.
The Most Common Reasons for Tree Felling
Tree felling is the best option in a number of settings, such as:
- Trees that have died
- Trees that are diseased and cannot be treated
- Trees weakened by severe weather
- A tree that has grown too large and is now affecting the surrounding environment
- To clear land for building work or garden landscaping
- There is a legal requirement to have the tree cut down
As tree surgeons, we work hard to preserve the health of trees wherever we can. We know the decision to cut a tree down doesn’t come lightly, and we will work with you to ensure that it really is the best option for your property.
Why You Should Always Hire a Trusted Tree Surgeon
Tree felling isn’t a job that you should try and tackle yourself, and doing so could put you and your property at risk. It involves powerful tools and working at height, and even the tiniest misjudgement can have serious consequences. When you choose us, you can be sure that your tree felling is being carried out by an experienced team who have done this many times before.
We will also make sure that all waste is cleared once the work has been completed, and recycle as much of it as we possibly can. So, you can be sure that you are working with a team who care about the environment.
