Felling trees is a risky and potentially dangerous activity. That’s why our extensive experience is very important. That’s why we’re never in a rush, and we think twice before we act.
Tree felling options
You can choose a variety of options for tree felling:
- Taking down the tree and cut it up in “manageable” pieces. For thick wood that is rollable by hand.
- Hauling all debrie. Or only the thinner branches. A lot of times the thicker wood is used as firewood.
- Stump removal by grinding.
The Environment Law (dutch: “omgevingswet”)
Whether your need a permit from your municipality or not, you are always required to adhere to the Dutch Environment Law. Generally speaking, you are not allowed to hinder or disturb any wildlife such as bats, squirels and birds or destroy or disturb their habitat. You are not allowed to fell a tree with a nest in use. Praying birds nests, i.e. owl nests, are always protected, year round.

Each municipality has its own regulations regarding tree cutting and trimming. In some municipalities (dutch translation: “gemeente”) you can cut any or your trees without any permit.

Tree removal and felling technique
When there’s no or little room beneath the tree, or vulnerable goods are under the tree, we use climbing, speed-line and lowering rope techniques to dismantle your tree branch by branch in small chunks. A speed-line can lower a branch somewhat away from the tree to a suitable landing spot. Climbing techniques are the best and most secure way to protect valuable property close to the tree. It is the most controlled and precise way to {dismantle|remove|take down|fell} a tree. In case your tree has to be removed, we can use climbing spurs and a flip-line or lanyard to climb your tree. In case of tree trimming, no climbing spurs are used because they will harm your tree and attract diseases.
