Cradley Heath is built on a hillside, and many of its gardens slope, step or sit above a lane or a neighbour. That makes tree felling a job that needs thought. We remove dead, diseased, leaning and overgrown trees here and plan every cut around the ground the tree is standing on.
The aim is simple: bring the tree down safely, protect your home and boundaries, and leave nothing behind. Timber is logged, branches are cleared away and you are told exactly what to expect before we begin any cutting.
The streets of Cradley Heath include hillside terraces and twentieth century estates, many with trees that were planted for small plots and now dominate them. A sycamore by a back wall, a conifer on the boundary or an old fruit tree that has stopped bearing fruit can all become more of a liability than a feature of the garden over the seasons.
Because these gardens are often small and steep, the usual method is to climb and dismantle in sections, lowering each piece on a rope to a spot we have cleared. It is a patient way of working, but it keeps walls, steps and fences intact and avoids dropping heavy timber where it could roll away downhill towards your neighbours or the road.
Some gardens in Cradley Heath look onto a canal, a footpath or one of the green corridors that thread through the area. Trees at those edges can lean out, shed branches over the path and be hard to reach, so we assess how to get equipment in and how to keep the public area clear and safe while the work goes on.
On a slope, we also think about where the stump and roots sit. Roots holding a bank in place should not be disturbed without a reason, so we explain whether leaving the stump low is wiser than grinding it out. You get a clear recommendation for your own garden, not a standard answer applied to every job we are asked to do.
We cut the felled timber into logs for you to keep or remove, and the brash and green waste leave with us. The stump can stay low or be ground out by arrangement. Before felling in Cradley Heath, check with the council whether a tree preservation order or conservation area applies. We also cover Old Hill, Lye, Rowley Regis and Halesowen.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes. Steep gardens are normal in this area, and we climb the tree and lower it in sections so nothing falls or rolls downhill. Tell us about the slope, any steps and how we would reach the garden, and we will plan around those.
It depends on who owns the land the tree grows on. If it is in your garden, it is normally your responsibility, even when branches hang over a public path. If you are unsure, we can suggest how to find out before work starts.
No. You can leave it low, which is quicker and keeps the ground stable on a bank. Grinding it out suits a lawn, patio or new planting. We can arrange either by agreement and explain which one fits your plans for the space.
