What is Tree Felling?
Tree felling is the action of cutting down a tree to prevent the spread of disease and improve safety in the area. Dead, diseased or dying trees can pose a major threat to the environment, as the large quantities of dead wood and the damage to the stability of the tree can create serious safety hazards, particularly during strong winds.
Aside from safety, trees might be unsuitable for the location they are in, whether this is due to subsidence issues or if an insurance company recommends felling to reduce risk of subsidence.
Whilst the main reason for felling is predominantly for safety purposes, in some cases trees are cut down for aesthetic reasons or due to lack of light. It’s worth noting that if the tree is protected by a preservation order or is located in a conservation area, work such as cutting down, and pruning cannot be carried out on the tree.
