Storm Damage
Our speciality is dealing with weather damaged trees on either an emergency or more routine basis. We do this alongside our daily tree work as probably the most important aspect of our business, one which sets us aside from other less experienced companies as it takes a long time to gain the knowledge required to deal with this type of work. Trees and woodlands damaged by wind, snow or even flooding present an exceptional hazard to both the landowner and the general public. A number of arborists and forestry personnel are injured, or killed by the unique and dangerous additional problems presented by such trees which is why we have qualified ourselves to the highest possible level to deal with such issues.
It isn’t simply about being available at short notice (which we are) but also knowing what to do when we get there! This is why we are so regularly called out by our corporate clients as well as the council.
Some of the photos in this section will demonstrate the complex and lethal nature of working with storm damage, successfully.
This Willow tree failed in a storm and fell across a river. After cutting the tree safely into sections, from within the river, we winched it out using our hand winch and were able to deal with it from the bank.
Another example was this Beech tree that fell down and was dangerously balanced on the bank. With the correct knowledge and equipment, including our winch, we safely brought it down and dealt with it on level ground.
