Permits for tree felling are a must

Wherever trees grow, certain safety precautions must be taken to ensure that they do not pose a danger. There are situations, however, where tree preservation is not the first priority, but rather other priorities. If the tree obstructs a construction project, impairs a residential use, or is severely damaged resp. If a tree is dead and in danger of falling, it may be removed. In case of acute danger, z.B. by storm the tree or. the resulting threat must be eliminated immediately. The shortening resp. Removal of branches or twigs also requires a permit, if they are in danger of breaking or if they obstruct the access to the property or if they shade the street lighting. But before you get a permit, the responsible authority weighs the importance of the tree for the environment and its ecological value and then makes the final decision.

Secure the terrain

To ensure that all work runs smoothly, we secure the potential danger zone (double the tree length) by warning signs and barrier tapes as well as helpers carefully, so that neither humans, animals nor material assets are damaged.

Felling a tree – only a success with expert knowledge

Before we cut down a tree, we carry out a tree inspection. In this context, we assess the tree to see if it is hanging in a certain direction or if there are any rotten spots in the trunk area or if any scrawny branches in the crown could fall down during sawing – all this has an impact on the Determination of the felling direction. Then clear the work area and the setbacks. It is also important that no one is allowed to stay in the danger zone. Now we make a wedge-shaped cut – the so-called Fallkerb. After that we make a felling cut. In between we insert a wedge to prevent the felling cut from closing prematurely and trapping the chainsaw. Afterwards we drive the wedge with the axe into the felling cut, in order to bring the tree into the necessary sloping position. After that, the tree falls naturally to the ground.
