Homeowners often ask whether they need tree felling or general tree surgery — and what the difference is. In this guide, we explain both services and when each is the right choice.

Key Points:

• Tree Felling: A complete removal of the tree, either as a straight fell or dismantled in sections
• Tree Surgery: Includes pruning, crown reduction, thinning, deadwood removal, and shaping
• When You Need Each:
  • Felling: dead, diseased, or dangerous trees
  • Surgery: ongoing care to improve safety, light, or health
• Permits: We can check for Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) before work begins
