Quick answers about tree dismantling
What is tree dismantling?
Tree dismantling is controlled sectional removal. It is used when a tree cannot be safely felled in one piece because buildings, gardens, roads, walls, utilities or other targets are nearby.
Is dismantling safer than felling?
It can be safer where space is limited. The tree is removed in sections so each part can be controlled around the site and surrounding property.
Do protected trees affect dismantling?
You may need permission if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, is in a conservation area or is affected by a planning condition. It is best to check before work starts.
