Tree felling and removal in Windsor

A whole-tree fell needs a clear landing area that suits the tree's height and crown. Rear gardens with brick walls, neighbouring roofs or a garden room rarely provide that space. The safer answer may be to dismantle the crown and stem in shorter sections, using ropes where pieces cannot be allowed to drop.

The quote identifies the tree, final stem height and whether stump work is included. It also records fragile surfaces and anything that cannot be moved. Send a wide photograph from ground to crown, then show the space directly below. A close picture of the trunk alone cannot establish the removal method.

A section that clears the tree may still be too long to turn beside the house. Timber size is planned around the narrowest gate, passage and corner on the route out. Paving, glass, walls and retained planting also affect where branches can be lowered and processed.

Photograph every turn from the tree to the road. Include steps, gate posts and parked access that may be needed on the day. Clean-up is included. The quote states how branches, chip and timber will be handled, because removal from a tight plot can take as much planning as work in the crown.

Windsor Town Centre has a conservation area, and its appraisal records trees as part of the area's character. That designation does not cover every Windsor property. The borough's neighbourhood lookup can help check an address, while a Tree Preservation Order may apply inside or outside the conservation area.

Permission and felling-licence rules must be settled before non-emergency work. Active bird nests must not be damaged. Woodside carries out the agreed tree work but does not provide surveys, consultancy reports or planning applications. Woodside Forestry is established 2008 and carries £10 million public liability insurance.
