When Should You Consider Tree Felling?

While we care deeply about preserving healthy trees, felling is sometimes essential. Whether due to disease, storm damage, structural risk, or planning requirements, our team will assess the best course of action and provide honest, practical guidance.

Common Reasons for Tree Removal:

Advanced decay or disease threatening safety
Trees posing a hazard to buildings or utilities
Obstruction of access, driveways or paths
Risk to public or highway safety
Planning consent or development projects
Invasive root systems damaging infrastructure
We never fell a tree unless there's a justified reason. Our reputation is built on integrity and ecological responsibility.

How Our Team Carries Out Safe Tree Felling

Tree felling is a complex operation involving risk assessment, technical rigging, and specialist tools. The Roots Company uses precision methods to dismantle trees piece by piece, minimising disruption and protecting nearby structures.

Our Process:

1. Site visit and tree health assessment
2. Risk analysis and method statement
3. Notify relevant authorities (TPO or SSSI if required)
4. Strategic dismantling using rigging and lowering systems
5. Site left clean and waste responsibly handled
We also manage permissions for protected trees and work within SSSI guidelines where needed.

FAQs About Tree Felling in Bristol

How much does tree felling cost in Bristol?

Costs vary depending on tree size, location, access and risk level. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Do I need permission to fell a tree?

If your tree is under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or in a conservation area, yes. We can advise and manage the application.

What happens to the wood after felling?

We chip and remove debris unless you wish to retain wood. We recycle where possible, including donating wood for re-use.
