Felling

It is sometimes necessary for trees to be cleared to make way for housing developments, roads and railways.

It is important to weigh up the pros and cons of felling before beginning work. The general rule being that the tree was there long before the house/office/driveway and should not be removed unless absolutely necessary.

Felling a tree is a highly skilled job, which should never be undertaken by an amateur. A skilled tree surgeon can remove a tree safetly and with minimal risk to property or the public.

Remember, the felling of a tree will remove everything above the ground without damage to chainsaws or soil etc. For stump removal, see our stump removal section.
