Sectioning/Sectional Tree Felling

Tree sectioning or section felling is the dismantling of a tree in manageable sections with the use of lowering ropes and slings.

The dismantling of trees in sections is a highly skilled operation where the smallest of errors could cause serious harm and can be very costly.

It is used in situations where space is limited, and everything must be guided down to avoid any damage.

All branches will be cut off first. Large limbs will be lowered from the crown using lowering ropes and the trunk will be removed in sections and dropped in a suitable landing zone.

Our expert tree surgeons are highly skilled in navigating through tight spaces and use the latest rigging techniques to safely remove trees.

Straight Tree Felling

Straight felling is where a tree is cut from the base and allowed to fall to the ground in a controlled manner. The straight fell of larger trees is usually carried out in forest work or properties with enough space, but smaller trees can be straight felled safely in most gardens and properties.

A face-notch is cut out from near the base of the trunk and in the desired direction before making the back cut through to the hinge.

We always use ropes and slings to assist the fall and may also use wedges to avoid it falling the opposite way.
