Wherever possible, we aim to protect and preserve trees, however there are times when trees have to come down either to make way for construction projects or because they have become hazardous through storm damage, accidental trauma, structural weakness or disease.
Trees which are known to be dead, dying or damaged present a significant risk to the public, especially in urban areas and extreme care must be taken to dismantle or fell them safely. This is skilled work requiring specialist equipment, stringent health and safety procedures and a thorough knowledge of arboriculture.
