Tree felling
Large trees near buildings need section felling by trained, insured arborists. Companies handle everything from felling to removal and stump grinding. Tell us the species, the height and how close the tree is to buildings for a safe, accurate quote.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to fell a tree?
On your own land often not, but trees can be protected by preservation orders or conservation-area rules, so check with your local authority first. Companies are familiar with what usually applies and can advise.
How much does tree felling cost?
It ranges from modest for simple trees to considerably more for section felling near a house. Removal of the wood and stump grinding are usually quoted separately, so ask for an itemised price.
Is removal of the wood included?
That is your choice — many people keep the wood for fuel. State your preference in the request so the quote is right from the start.
