Our Process
Our Tree Felling Process
Removing a tree is a delicate job; here’s how we keep it safe and stress-free:
On-Site Tree Felling Assessment
We begin with a detailed on-site inspection of the tree and its surroundings. This allows us to assess access, tree size, condition, and any nearby structures or services that may be affected.
Risk Evaluation & Safety Planning
Before any cutting begins, we identify potential risks and plan the safest removal method. This includes determining whether sectional dismantling is required and setting up controlled drop zones.
Controlled Sectional Tree Felling
The tree is carefully dismantled in sections rather than cut down in one piece. Branches and trunk sections are removed in a controlled sequence to prevent damage to buildings, walls, or gardens.
Safe Lowering & Removal of Tree Sections
Each section is safely lowered and removed from the site using professional rigging techniques. This ensures heavy wood is handled securely, even in confined residential spaces.
Site Clean-Up After Felling
Once the tree has been felled, all debris is cleared from the site unless otherwise requested. The area is left neat, safe, and ready for use.

What Determines the Cost of Tree Felling in Edgemead?
Tree felling costs are variable, but transparency is key. When we provide a quote, we factor in these specific elements relevant to the Edgemead environment:
Tree size & height
Height, trunk diameter, and wood density (e.g., tough Oak wood vs. softer Pine) dictate labour time and disposal weight.
Location & accessibility (tight gardens vs. open spaces)
Proximity to buildings or power lines
(Highest Impact) Trees overhanging high-value areas require more rigging, time, and team members, increasing the cost.
Equipment and manpower required
Debris removal or chipping options
The sheer volume of green waste and the labour required to haul it away from confined access points.
