Problem trees have usually either already failed, or are threatening to do so.
The work may be emergency in nature and need a rapid response. Please do not hesitate to ask for professional help as this is dangerous work. The hazard can be obvious, such as a broken branch threatening to fall, but others may be less obvious. Examples include a length of wood bent like a spring, massive timber that could roll out of control or power lines entangled in the tree.
We can provide a safe service to problem trees, minimising any risk or further damage to property.
At the moment, in the UK and much of Europe we have a significant problem with Ash Dieback. If you have Ash trees please do take a look at our page dealing specifically with this problem.
Working on a poplar stem that had failed in a storm due to decay. This stem was over a significant and exposed water supply pipe so great care required to ensure nothing was damaged.
Work in progress, large Beech tree had failed into adjacent tree. Hung up, over the road and over a cottage. On this occassion we successfuly dimantled the tree avoiding damage to property.
Climbers view of work in progress. On this occasion a row of large trees had to be dismantled as decay at the base had been identified as presenting a high risk to both the adjacent road and buildings.
Big enough project to warrant two climbers working together for efficiency.
