Ocassionaly a tree will need to be removed completely, this can be for a number of reasons. In the interests of conservation a diseased tree may have to be removed to ensure neighbouring trees do not also become infected. Other reasons to fell a tree will include safety (to people and property) i.e if a tree is in a state of decay or in a weakend condition, or if the tree is in an unsuitable area affecting planning applications and construction projects. Felling a large tree in a restricted area will normally require the tree to be climbed and dismantled in sections. Other times when space, safety and the trees form and allows, a tree may be felled in the traditional forestry sense of the term, by bringing the tree to ground using practiced methods to ensure a safe, controlled and calculated fell.

Once a tree has been felled to ground level, you may require the stump to also be removed. For this we offer a straight forward stump and root removal service. This procedure involves using a stump grinding machine which will, as the name suggests, grind the stump out of the ground until the stump and root system are destroyed. This is sometiomes required if it is intended to re plant in the area the tree once was, or if the stump will be obstructing the building of a new structure such as a shed, fence or a property extension. If the stumps presence is not a concern, we are able to treat the stump to ensure that re growth does not occur.
