Tree Felling in East Lothian

Tree felling can be executed for a range of reasons. Trees that are diseased or damaged and not able to recover might need to be felled to make sure that they do not fall independently and cause injury or harm to property. Likewise, if trees are damaged by inclement weather or other factors and have partially fallen they will often require felling to ensure that they do not cause any further damage either to properties or neighbouring trees. Domestic tree felling can also be carried out if a tree has grown too big or is particularly close to a building and therefore more likely to cause structural damage. Furthermore, trees in gardens can be felled if they are obscuring the light to a house or otherwise affecting your enjoyment of your garden. Although it can be tempting to carry out tree felling as a DIY job, it is very risky to attempt without the appropriate training and planning. Specialist tree felling companies can fell trees in a safe manner and ensure that they do not cause any damage to property as they are felled. If the area around a tree is small, the tree can be felled in portions to lower the chance of it falling and causing damage in the surrounding area. Tree felling companies will also dispose of the fallen tree in a sustainable way, and may even cut up the tree into logs for use in a wood burner or stove.
