Occasionally, although as a last resort, it is necessary to completely remove a tree, usually referred to as ‘felling’.
Where space allows, a tree can be felled from the ground; though more often than not, in the urban environment, it will need to be accomplished carefully in what is known as ‘dismantling’, where the tree is taken apart, piece by piece to avoid damage to surrounding property.
In cases where the tree lies very close to property, it may be necessary to lower individual limbs by rope to ensure that they come down gently.
