Tree felling is the complete removal of the tree, to leave a stump just above ground level in height (see stump grinding/eco-plugs if complete removal is required).
Where space allows, the tree is felled in a single section using various techniques to control the direction of the fall. This is a procedure rarely carried out in residential properties due to lack of space. Where space is limited, the tree will be taken down piece by piece.
We can safely dismantle any tree to ground level and we have considerable experience in working on difficult and restricted sites. Specialist equipment such as cranes and platforms can be utilised where necessary and, if required, traffic management can be arranged.

Can I remove a tree with a TPO or in a conservation area?
If your tree is covered by a tree preservation it is unlikely you will be able to remove it without good reason.
People often ask what is a good reason? In order to remove a TPO tree it has to be dead or dangerous. This means that the tree either show no signs of growth ,buds etc or it has some form of decay which mean that the tree is rendered unsafe.
If you live in a conservation area you can remove certain trees after gaining permission from the local council. It is still unlikely that you will be able to remove very large trees that have significant value to the area and the council may place a TPO on the tree to stop you doing this.
Benton Arboriculture is able to assist with this process in order to help our customers achieve there desired outcome.
