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.

Online Permit Check for tree trimming or felling
You can check on the omgevingsloket if you need a permit to fell your tree(s). You can also apply for a permit there.
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. Provided the tree is not on the protected tree list of your municipality. In other municipalities you need to apply for a permit for even the smallest of trees and the permit request alone can cost a lot of money. In any case, informing the neighbors is always recommended.
Wether you need a permit or not, you should always adhere to the dutch Environment Law (dutch: Omgevingswet). It aims to protect nature in general. Mostly it applies to protecting inhabited bird nests or year round protected bird nests.
Tree regulations of you municipality can be found in the “Algemene Plaatselijk Verordening”, or AVP in short.
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.

Cost of tree felling
The cost for felling or pruning your tree(s) depends on many factors. It depends on the situation, the tree size, the trees diameter of the trunk, if you can provide assistence and if we need to haul away the debris and if wee need to grind away the remaining stump. Every tree and situation is different.
When you can provide assistance, this will be deducted from the price. Assistance can be in the form of hauling the branches to the chipper, holding the rope to lower branches and clean-up after the job.
We use fixed prices including all requested services and VAT. So you know beforehand what the grand total cost will be for you. No surprises afterwards.
