Safety

Cordon off first.
Only then start the saw.

An 18-metre tree easily weighs a few tonnes. Before a single cut is made, we know where it will land, where we'll step and where nobody may stand.

  • 2 × hThe drop zone is twice the tree height. Anyone who doesn't belong there stays outside it.
  • 45°Two escape routes, angled backwards. Clear of branches, buckets and garden hoses.
  • 1/10The hinge steers the tree. About a tenth of the trunk stays as a hinge.

No room to fell? Then we take the tree down in sections, on ropes. How sectional felling works.

Nothing falls here.
Everything is lowered.

A branch of about 150 kilos hangs on the rope above the shed roof. Jurre lowers it gently via the lowering device on the trunk.

Tree safety inspection

Is it still sound?

As the owner you're responsible for your tree. After an inspection using the VTA method you get a report like this for each tree: what we saw, how serious it is, what action is needed and when.

  • Crown, trunk and base examined and sounded
  • Photos of every finding
  • Advice with a timeframe, and you're free to have someone else do the pruning

€145 for the first tree, €35 for each additional one at the same address.

Pruning calendar

When is your tree's turn?

Every tree has its own good months. Birch and maple bleed when pruned in spring; cherry and plum prefer after the harvest. Felling is allowed in any season, as long as nothing is nesting.

Three arborists in chainsaw trousers with helmets under their arms by their van with coiled climbing ropes, in an avenue of tall trees

Who climbs

Two in the tree.
One on the rope.

Nobody ever climbs alone. While Hessel or Wietske is in the crown, Jurre is on the ground: he holds the lowering rope, keeps the work area clear and can get a climber in trouble out of the tree quickly.
