Felling

Felling, dismantling and removal of dangerous trees and storm damage

Felling involves the complete removal of a tree down to ground level. Depending upon the area in which the work takes place it may involve the careful lowering of branches and timber so as not to cause damage or destruction to surrounding plants and structures.

The stump will be left as close to the ground as possible but will be above soil level. Customers may opt for stump grinding to remove the stump completely.

A contracted engagement with the company starts a standard process which is meticulously followed to ensure consistency of customer care and successful results.
