Tree Removal
Removing a tree is never an easy decision and not one that should be taken lightly. Dead or dying trees are often removed to mitigate risk because it is deemed unsafe, this may be due to structural failure of the tree because of disease, become structurally unsound due to storm damage or it is simply dead or dying. However, in certain instances live trees are removed when they interfere with other trees, buildings, underground services, driveways or utility cables.
We at 3 Counties Tree Surgery have unparalleled experience and qualification with removing trees utilising many different methods, from straight climbs and sectional dismantles, to sectional crane removals and in some circumstances - the tightest of spots.
