Tree Removal / Tree Felling
Everything you need to know....
What is Tree Removal / Tree Felling
Tree removal typically involves felling a tree to the ground when possible. Once on the ground, the tree is processed: the branches are chipped, and the trunk is cut into sections for removal from the area.
Due to limited space, the tree is usually dismantled in sections. This process begins with the removal of the branches, followed by cutting the trunk into sections, often using ropes and rigging techniques for safety and precision.
When should you carry out tree felling/ removal?
Tree felling can occur at any time throughout the year, with some exceptions.
The nesting season for birds, which typically occurs in the spring, may temporarily halt tree removal activities.
It is illegal to disturb any nesting birds during this season.ny nesting birds during nesting season.
Why should you fell a tree?
If a tree has sustained severe damage or has died, then swift removal is the best option.
As a tree owner, you have a duty of care to ensure people and property are protected from anything that could be a hazard. Usually, this means deadwooding your trees, but if a tree is dangerous, it should be removed immediately.
If a tree is dead, causing or potentially causing damage to a property, obstructing development plans, or showing signs of a lifting root plate, removal is usually the best option. If you have a large specimen tree and are unsure whether it is safe, a Tree condition report from a qualified surveyor is required.
What is the cost of tree felling / removal?
Determining the cost of tree surgery services can be challenging without assessing the tree directly. Several factors influence the price, including access, location, size, and any specific restrictions.
For instance, removing a tree in a confined space may require dismantling it in sections, which can increase costs. On the other hand, choosing to retain the waste, such as wood chips and timber, can help reduce expenses.
As a rough guideline, the cost for small trees typically starts at around £200, while more complex removals of large trees can exceed £5,000.
