Tree Felling Methods In East London
Tree felling generally involves two main approaches: sectional and straight felling.
Let’s examine these two primary techniques and identify when each suits specific situations best.
Sectional Tree Felling In East London
Sectional tree felling involves taking down the tree in smaller, more manageable parts.
We prefer this method when space is limited or there is a risk of property damage or harm to the public.
Typically, a climber scales the tree and removes it piece by piece from top to bottom.
Depending on the circumstances, the climber may safely lower branches using free fall or controlled lowering techniques with ropes and rigging equipment.
If a tree is unstable or too risky to climb, we may use a MEWP (Cherry picker) or crane to assist with felling.
We can also perform sectional felling using mechanical means, such as grapple saws or tree shears attached to excavators or HIABS on lorries and telehandlers.
At East London Tree Surgeons, we have experience in every type of sectional felling and specialise in MEWP, grapple saw, and crane operations.
Contact us today if you need help with a complex tree-felling project.
Straight Tree Felling In East London
Straight tree felling involves cutting down the entire tree in one go rather than sections.
This method requires sufficient space for the tree to fall without endangering people or property.
Due to these space requirements, straight tree felling suits large open areas, site clearance, and forestry work best.
East London Tree Surgeons’ tree fellers can direct the fell using precise cutting techniques and tools, including wedges, ropes, and winches.
Our expert team of arborists undergoes extensive training and can confidently fell any tree straight if space allows.
We thoroughly assess each project to determine the safest and most efficient tree felling solution.
We provide professional tree felling services in East London and all nearby boroughs, towns, and villages, including Walthamstow, Wanstead, Hackney, Stratford, Plaistow and East Ham.
