Expert Tree Removal and Sectional Felling

There can be many reasons why your tree might need to be removed. It could be because it’s diseased or dying, has been damaged by a storm, or the area needs to be cleared for construction work. Whatever your reason for tree removal, Quill Hall Arboriculture is able to assist both residential and commercial clients.

Our team of professional arborists have a wealth of knowledge, years of experience and specialist equipment in which to remove or fell even the largest trees. It’s not recommended that you try to remove a tree yourself due to the many safety risks involved, which is why it’s best to use tree surgeons that are fully-trained, certified and insured to carry out tree removal safely and efficiently.

Tree Felling and Sectional Dismantling

For tree removal, it will either be done through felling the tree itself, or by carrying out section felling, which is where the tree is removed section-by-section. This is used if space is limited or it’s not safe to fell the tree in one. Our highly trained arborists are proficient in the safe removal of trees in awkward spaces either through climbing with rope and harness or with the use of mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs).

Unless otherwise requested, all material is removed from site as timber or recycled as logs or wood chippings. Tree stump removal is also available, which includes the complete removal of unwanted stumps through stump grinding, ensuring the tree is removed completely.
