Tree felling may be required for a number of reasons:
  • Removal of dangerous and hazardous trees
  • The tree is infringing on power lines and train tracks
  • The land is required for commercial or residential development
  • Spreading roots are causing damage to building structure
  • To increase the light falling on surrounding property
  • To improve the view from a property
  • Diseased on dying trees may infect surrounding plants
  • The tree may simply be dead
  • Tree branches are causing damaged to roofs and buildings
  • A proposed highways development project may require tree removal
  • The roots may be causing pathways and driveways to lift
  • Trees may need to be removed for new patio, terrace and extension work

Section Felling

Section felling will be used in situations where there is a risk of damage occurring to any property or harm to the public.
The work consists of the entire removal of the tree, in sections. If a delay between felling and stump removal is to occur, the stump will be left at a minimum height of 1.5 metres (to ensure it is not a trip hazard unless discussed otherwise).

Section felled trees will be dismantled using the step cut, break off and controlled throw method with the use of lowering ropes. The straight fell of trees is the removal of trees as a single unit. Straight felling will be limited to such situations that pose no risk of damage to any property or persons whatsoever.

Trees to be straight felled will be guided by the use of pulling ropes and felling wedges as necessary to ensure the correct direction of controlled fall.
