Safe and Controlled Tree Dismantling in Inverness and Dingwall
Tree dismantling is a highly specialised service, ideal for situations where trees are unsafe, diseased, storm-damaged, or growing too close to property or utility lines. Unlike standard felling, dismantling involves removing the tree in sections, ensuring maximum safety in confined or complex environments.
We use rope and rigging techniques to lower branches and trunk sections carefully, protecting nearby buildings, fences, and gardens.
Our tree dismantling service includes:
- Risk assessment and safety planning
- Full site inspection (ground, lean, wildlife)
- Sectional dismantling using rigging and controlled drops
- Stump removal or grinding (optional)
- Responsible waste clearance or on-site chipping

When Should You Consider Professional Tree Cutting?
Our tree cutting service is suitable for:
- Trees dangerously close to homes or structures
- Overhanging branches threatening roofs, power lines, or footpaths
- Dead or dying trees posing a fall hazard
- Preparing land for construction or landscaping
- Trees damaged by storms or high winds
- Removing trees for replanting with native species
We always begin with a thorough inspection of the tree's health, structure, and surrounding habitat. If nesting birds or roosting bats are present, work will be postponed to comply with wildlife protection laws.
