Sectional tree dismantling

Sectional tree dismantling

Sectional tree dismantling is used when a tree can’t be safely felled in one piece – typically due to nearby buildings, roads, power lines or other obstacles.

This method involves carefully removing the tree in sections, using ropes and advanced rigging equipment to lower each piece to the ground in a controlled and safe manner. Every tree is different, so we tailor our approach to suit the size, condition and surroundings of each one.

Our team is fully qualified in rope access and rigging, ensuring all work is carried out with precision, care and safety as the top priority.

We offer sectional dismantling services across Cambridge, North Herts, South Cambridgeshire, and local villages including Sawston, Meldreth, Fowlmere and Melbourn.

Shelford Tree Service came to us early this year to work on our specimen Platanus x hispanica. The operation presented multiple challenges considering the site and the size of the tree, but Jonathan and his team dealt with them efficiently, and with professionalism. I particularly appreciated how well organised the intervention was and the minimal disruption to the site.

RAND Brothers recently employed the help of Jonathan and his team to conduct tree condition surveys across our farms. They did so in good time and then carried out the necessary tree works in a safe and efficient fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelford Tree Service.

Emerald Landscapes, on behalf of Barratt Homes

Due to the time restraint of bird nesting season, this project had to be completed before March. A large strip of vegetation and trees, bordering a high-speed road, was removed very quickly by Shelford Tree Service with very short notice. They left the site very tidy. Traffic management and health & safety were high on the agenda and the Shelford team excelled at both. Our client was extremely impressed with the outcome. We recommend this service.
