Sectional Felling of a Storm-Damaged Ash

A closer look at how our City & Guilds NPTC qualified arborists planned and delivered this project safely across North Yorkshire.

Location

Knaresborough, North Yorkshire

Work Type

Sectional Felling

Following a winter storm, a large ash showing signs of dieback had split at a major fork, leaving it unstable and overhanging a neighbouring driveway.

The Approach

With no safe felling zone, the tree was dismantled in sections using rigging to lower each limb under control. The stump was then ground out below ground level to allow the area to be re-turfed.

The work was completed in a single day with minimal disruption to the property and full clearance of all timber and debris.
