Hazardous Trees and Public Safety
Trees that are dead, partially fallen, or structurally unstable can pose serious risks to people and property. These situations require the expertise of qualified, insured, and experienced tree surgeons.
Hazardous tree felling is highly technical, one wrong move can have catastrophic consequences. Our team ensures the process is carried out safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind.
Reasons for Felling Trees
Trees Too Large or Too Close to Buildings
Even healthy trees can cause concern when they grow too close to homes or other structures. Before considering complete removal, we’ll first discuss whether canopy reduction could provide the reassurance you need.
When felling is necessary, we use section felling and rigging techniques, carefully lowering timber with ropes and pulleys to protect surrounding areas.
Diseased, Decayed, or Infected Trees
If you suspect your trees are diseased or notice fungi growing on them, it’s important to have an arborist carry out a thorough inspection. Not all fungi are harmful, and some are a natural part of a tree’s ecosystem. This is where our expertise really comes into play.
The best time for disease and fungi assessments is autumn, as most fungi become visible during this season.
Site Clearance for New Builds and Developments
Planning an extension, barn, or larger development project? We’ll start by assessing how trees on-site may be affected and which can be preserved alongside new infrastructure.
Once this is considered, we can safely remove the trees required and, if needed, provide stump grinding to leave a clean slate ready for construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not necessarily. We’ll assess the tree’s health, condition, location and the risk it presents before recommending removal. In many cases, a healthy tree can be retained through careful crown reduction or crown thinning. Tree felling is usually considered when a tree is dead, dangerous, badly diseased or unsuitable for its surroundings.
-
Yes. When there isn’t enough room to fell the tree in one piece, we can dismantle it carefully in sections. Ropes, pulleys and specialist rigging equipment allow us to lower branches and timber in a controlled way, helping to protect buildings, fences, gardens and nearby structures. We’ll inspect the site beforehand and plan the safest approach for your property.
-
Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or are located within a conservation area, so permission or formal notice may be required before work begins. There can also be restrictions affecting woodland and larger-scale felling. We recommend checking before arranging any work, and we can help you understand what may apply to your particular tree or site.
-
That depends on what you would like. The branches can be chipped and the timber cut into manageable pieces for you to keep, or the resulting material can be removed from the site as agreed in your quotation. If you want the ground prepared for landscaping or construction, stump grinding can also be discussed as part of the work.
-
Sometimes. Fungi, dead branches or visible damage do not automatically mean that the whole tree needs to come down. A professional inspection helps us establish how serious the problem is and whether pruning, monitoring or another treatment would be appropriate. If the tree presents an unacceptable risk and cannot reasonably be retained, we’ll explain why felling is the safest option.
