Caerphilly sits under its castle and the slopes of Caerphilly Mountain, with terraced streets, newer estates and large hillside gardens, many of them backing onto woodland. Trees here grow quickly in the damp valley air, and some end up too big, too close to the house or simply past saving. We offer tree felling in Caerphilly, taking trees down safely whether the space is generous or cramped.
We always start by looking at the tree and explaining what we would do and why. There is no pressure to decide at the visit, and if the tree can safely stay, we will tell you so. Questions are always welcome.
Some Caerphilly gardens are big enough for a tree to be felled in one piece, with a clear drop zone and an easy route for the wood. Many others slope steeply and back onto woodland, which makes felling more complicated, because the ground is uneven and cut timber can roll. In those places we work from the top down and lower each section on ropes.
We fell dead and diseased trees, trees leaning towards houses, storm-damaged trees and ones that have outgrown their plot, along with conifers and shrubs. Wet ground can loosen roots on a slope, so we look at the base and the soil carefully before choosing a method. If a safer option exists, such as a reduction, we will tell you. Caerphilly slopes need that care.
On the wooded edges around Caerphilly, check where your boundary runs, since a tree on the other side belongs to someone else and we cannot remove it without their agreement. Also ask Caerphilly County Borough Council whether the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area, because protected trees need consent first. It is a quick call to make.
Nesting birds can affect timing in spring and summer, and we plan around them where we can. After felling, the stump can be left cut low or ground out by arrangement, depending on access. Timber is logged and taken away with the green waste, and we leave the garden swept and clear of cuttings and sawdust. Caerphilly gardens are left tidy. Nothing is left behind.
In the tighter estates and terraces of Caerphilly, felling often means careful sectional work with very little room to spare, and we plan every cut around walls, fences and parked cars. We also cover Bedwas, Machen, Senghenydd, Llanbradach and Nelson, so tell us where you are and which trees you would like taken out. Several trees can be done together.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Caerphilly.
Tree FellingWe felled and cut up trees in a Caerphilly back garden, chipping the branches and leaving the plot cleared.
See the project →Tree FellingThis tall conifer stood in a Bridgend back garden beside dark fencing and a patio, before we took it down.
See the project →
Tree FellingWe took out trees and shrubs from a walled Cardiff back garden, leaving an open lawn next to the conservatory.
See the project →We work across South Wales. Pick your town to see how tree felling works locally.
Often you can fell a garden tree freely, but protected trees and larger amounts of timber need checks first, and this guide explains who to ask.
Read the guide →Taking a tree down should rarely be the first choice, but sometimes it is the only responsible one, and knowing which situation you are in saves worry.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →Yes. We climb the tree and cut it in sections, lowering each piece on ropes so nothing rolls or slides downhill. We check the slope, the roots and the access on the first visit and explain how we would approach it.
Caerphilly County Borough Council can tell you whether a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area applies to your address. Please ask before the work is booked, and let us know what they say so we can plan around it.
Often we can fell the tree and leave the stump cut low in the same visit. Grinding it out is a separate step by arrangement, depending on access. We will agree which you want before we start the work.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
