Tree felling and dismantling

Sometimes a tree has to come out: it is dead or dying, unsafe, undermining a wall or a drain, or simply in the wrong place. Felling is the most hazardous thing we do and it is planned before anyone picks up a saw.

Where there is space a tree can be felled in one piece. In most Merseyside gardens there is not, so it is dismantled in sections from the top down, with limbs rigged and lowered rather than dropped. Before anything is agreed we check whether the tree is protected by an order or sits in a conservation area, because felling one without consent is an offence.

Common questions

Tree Felling FAQs

Do I need permission to fell a tree?

You may. A Tree Preservation Order or a conservation area both require consent or notice. We check before agreeing the work, because doing it without is an offence.

Can a tree be felled in a small garden?

Yes, by dismantling it in sections from the top and lowering the pieces on ropes. It takes longer than a straight fell and the quote reflects that.

What happens to the stump?

We can leave it cut low or grind it out. Grinding is the option if you want to re-turf, pave or replant over the spot.

Will you take the wood away?

We remove everything as standard. If you want logs cut to length for a burner, say so when we quote and we will leave them stacked.

How much damage will there be to the lawn?

Some marking is normal where sections land and are dragged out. We use boards and plan the drop zones to keep it to a minimum, and we will be upfront about what to expect.
