What is tree felling?
Our tree felling in Watford involves the process of cutting down and removing trees. There are a range of reasons why you’re looking for a tree surgeon in Bushey to cut down trees in your garden or other landscape.
The main reasons for tree felling can fit into three categories…
Safety
Tree felling is primarily undertaken when trees are impacting dangerously on their surroundings. This can include:
-If the structure of nearby buildings is compromised.
-If subsidence occurs because of tree roots.
-If trees become unstable.
-If trees are impacting overhead cables.
In these instances, trees pose a serious risk to buildings and the public and must be professionally felled. Speak to us for more information about tree felling in Watford for safety.
Disease
Tree felling can be required in the unfortunate instance of disease. Diseased trees can sadly pose a major threat to the environment, and they must be examined by a professional tree surgeon or arborist. If you believe that a tree in your garden or landscape may be diseased, then you’ll need to get in touch with a tree surgeon in Watford.
Visuals
Tree felling for aesthetic reasons is becoming more and more common across the UK. Although you may not be allowed to fell certain trees by law, some trees are cut down to:
-Prepare for structures to be built.
-To reduce shade or dark areas.
-To provide a more landscaped garden or grounds.
If you’re looking for tree felling in Watford for aesthetic reasons, contact us for more information.

Do you need permission to fell trees?
Before felling a tree, it’s essential to seek advice from your local council or the relevant government department:
-Forestry Commission (England)
-Scottish Forestry
-Natural Resources Wales
-Northern Ireland Forest Service
Felling a tree in your garden
If you are a homeowner, you won’t need permission to fell a tree that’s within your garden unless:
-It’s subject to a Tree Preservation Order.
-It’s in a conservation area.
If you’re a tenant in a rented property you’ll need to seek your landlord’s permission first. Furthermore, if any injury or damage is caused to your neighbour or their property, you will be liable for it. Additionally, if a tree trunk is in your garden, your neighbour has a right to cut back any overhanging branches.
Felling Licences
If outside of a private garden, tree felling in Watford may require a felling licence. If a tree amounts to five cubic metres of timber by volume, it’s an offence to fell without one. Once again, we recommend speaking to local councils or relevant government departments.
