Technique

Felling & Sectional Dismantling

Where space allows, trees may be felled in one piece using controlled directional felling. In tighter areas, such as gardens with limited access, trees overhanging structures, or confined urban spaces, we use sectional dismantling techniques, carefully removing the tree piece by piece.

Directional Felling

Controlled single-piece removal where space and ground conditions allow

Sectional Dismantling

Piece-by-piece removal in confined spaces or near structures

Specialist Rigging

Ropes and pulleys to lower sections without dropping

MEWP Access

Elevated work platforms for large or difficult-to-climb trees

Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

Once a tree is removed, the stump remains. Left in place it can produce regrowth, attract pests, and prevent replanting or landscaping works. We offer professional stump grinding to grind stumps below ground level, leaving the area clear and ready for whatever comes next.

Reclaims space ready for new planting, turf, or hard landscaping
Removes hazards eliminates trip hazards and unsightly stumps
