How We Plan Tree Work Safely

1

Assess the Site

We check the tree, access, buildings, services, ground conditions and any council or ecological constraints.

2

Choose the Method

The plan may use climbing, rigging, a digger, loader, stump grinder, Hiab or a combination of equipment.

3

Complete and Tidy

Material is chipped, removed or left as mulch and firewood by agreement, with the work area left tidy.

Unsure whether a tree needs removal?

We do not recommend removal simply because it is the largest job. Pruning, weight reduction or retaining the tree may be the better option. We will explain the practical choices during the assessment.
