Felling Trees Without Climbing Them
When trees become damaged through natural decay or storm damage, but remain standing, or when they have partially fallen and have become rested on other trees, power/telephone cables, they become too dangerous to climb using rope and harness.
When James is called in to assess this type of work a close inspection and detailed risk assessment is required.
The outcome of the assessment is likely to require the use of a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP).
The MEWP permits the arborist safe access into the tree without climbing. It provides a safe and secure working platform to enable the tree to be carefully dismantled without compromising other trees, power cables and telephone lines, nearby.

"Following recent high winds a tree is compromised and is now precariously leaning beside impacting telephone lines. Following a 'dynamic risk assessment' the site is made safe in-order that work can commence. The broken section of the tree is made safe, telephone lines are cleared and controlled dismantling begins. As James dismantles the broken section and Colin keeps the surrounding area clear of debris. The householder also gets a nice pile of logs for his wood burner." - Happy customer
