Sectional felling or dismantling techniques are used for trees which cannot be felled for reasons of space or proximity to vulnerable structures. There are many different techniques involved and as no two trees are the same our methods always flexible, adapting our knowledge, skills and experience to suit the task in hand.

We have a range of specialist rigging equipment designed and tested for use by arborists under the most demanding conditions; we will also bring in hired plant such as cranes and work platforms if they are required. We have dismantled trees growing over homes schools and offices and we are confident that whatever your tree’s situation and condition we can bring it down safely.

The following videos were shot from the arborists perspective and intended for viewing by fellow arborists, however they may give you some idea of what we do.
