Tree removal & sectional dismantling
Controlled tree removal, carefully planned.
From straightforward removals to complex sectional dismantling, RSM Tree Services plans the work around the tree, access, surrounding property and what is below.

Tree removal
The right method for the site.
Removing a tree is not always as simple as cutting it down from the base. Buildings, fences, roads, gardens and other surrounding features can mean the tree needs to be dismantled carefully in sections.
RSM Tree Services assesses the tree, access and surrounding area before deciding how the work should be carried out. Where space allows, removal may be relatively straightforward. Where space is restricted, the tree can be dismantled progressively using an appropriate controlled method.
Removal services
Tree removal for different situations.
Complete tree removal
Removal of the tree down to ground level where complete removal is required.
Sectional dismantling
Progressive removal of the tree in manageable sections where surrounding buildings, boundaries or limited space prevent straightforward felling.
Restricted access
Tree removal planned around gardens, buildings, narrow access points and other site constraints.
Controlled lowering
Where appropriate, sections can be controlled during removal rather than allowed to fall freely into the work area.
Dead or damaged trees
Removal of trees that are dead, badly damaged or require removal following deterioration or storm damage.
Stump grinding options
Once the tree has been removed, stump grinding can also be discussed where removal of the remaining stump is required.
When tree removal may be needed
Sometimes removal is the right option.
There are situations where retaining a tree may no longer be practical or appropriate. The reason can range from the condition of the tree to its location, damage, development requirements or the effect it is having on the surrounding site.
Before quoting the work, we consider what is involved in removing the tree and how the site affects the method required.
Dead or declining trees
Where the condition of a tree means removal is considered the appropriate course of action.
Storm or structural damage
Trees that have suffered significant damage and require removal or controlled dismantling.
Space & surroundings
Trees whose size or position creates significant problems around buildings, boundaries or other site features.
Planned site works
Tree removal required as part of agreed landscaping, clearance, construction or wider site works.
Our approach
Planned from the ground up.
The method used to remove a tree depends on its size, condition, available space, access and what surrounds the work area. These factors are considered before the job is scheduled.
Assess the tree and site
We review the tree, access, surrounding property and the space available for the work.
Plan the removal
We determine an appropriate method and clearly set out the proposed work before the job is scheduled.
Complete the work
The tree is removed using the agreed method and the work area is dealt with as specified in the quotation.
After removal
Clear about what happens next.
What happens to the timber, branches and stump should be agreed as part of the quotation. Depending on the job, arisings can be dealt with as specified and stump grinding can be included or quoted separately where required.
Branches & arisings
The quotation should make clear how branches and other arising material will be handled.
Timber
Where relevant, arrangements for larger timber can be agreed as part of the work.
Stump
The stump can be left at an agreed height or stump grinding can be discussed as an additional part of the job.
