Conventional Tree Felling (When Space Allows)
While we always aim for complete removal of a tree (including stumps if required), in rare cases, we may fell a tree and leave the stump by request. Need it gone entirely? Explore our Tree Stump Grinding service for a seamless finish.
When space permits, we use conventional methods to fell a tree, taking care to bring the tree down safely and remove the wood. Smaller branches are chipped on site, while larger sections, called “rounds” are taken away for further processing later on. In some cases, customers request we leave the wood chip for use on flower beds and borders which is an ecological way of using the material from the felled tree.
Sectional Tree Felling (For Tight Spaces)
Glasgow’s urban landscape demands precision. When trees loom over buildings, power lines, or gardens, we:
- Climb and dismantle them piece by piece to avoid collateral damage.
- Use LOLER-certified rigging gear (inspected every 6 months) for controlled lowering.
- Prioritize safety with weekly equipment checks by our team.
More often than not, sectional tree felling is required in the urban landscape and it is vital the appropriate certification, insurance and experience are used to ensure a tree is brought down safely.
