Understanding the Importance of Felling

What Is Tree Felling?

Tree felling is the process of cutting down a tree, either entirely or in sections, depending on the environment and access. It is typically required when a tree poses a risk to people or property, is dead or dying, or needs to be removed for construction or landscaping.

Straight/Directional Felling

Bringing the tree down in one piece, ideal for open areas.

Sectional/Dismantling Felling

Carefully removing the tree in manageable sections, often used in confined or urban spaces.
