Tree felling and removal Preston

Planned removals for restricted Preston sites

Tree felling is straightforward only when there is enough clear space to fell the tree in one piece. In Preston gardens and commercial sites, trees are often close to houses, sheds, greenhouses, roads, fences, phone lines or neighbouring property. In those cases, sectional dismantling is usually safer.

Sectional removal breaks the tree down in controlled pieces. Branches and timber can be lowered by rope, cut into manageable sections or lifted by machinery where appropriate. The goal is to protect the surrounding property and keep the work area controlled from start to finish.

Removal work can include

• Dead, dying or structurally compromised trees
• Storm damaged trees and snapped limbs
• Conifers, leylandii and overgrown boundary trees
• Sectional dismantling over sheds, roofs and fences
• Log cutting, chipping, site clearance and stump grinding
• Advice on TPO, conservation area and replacement planting requirements

If a tree is protected, permission is usually needed before felling unless a specific exemption applies. Dangerous tree exemptions should be handled carefully and evidenced with photos, written notes and prompt council notification where required.
