Ebbw Vale climbs up the sides of its valley, and many of the gardens sit high up, open to the wind. Trees take a battering in that position, and some end up leaning, split or half dead. We carry out tree felling in Ebbw Vale, taking trees down in sections or whole, whichever is safe for the plot.
If you have a tree you are worried about, or one that is simply in the wrong place, give us the details. We will visit, look at what is involved and explain how we would do it. Photos help if you can send them.
A hilltop garden in Ebbw Vale gets the full force of any storm, and a tree there lives a harder life than one sheltered in a hollow. Over the years the lean can increase, limbs can crack, and roots can lift. Looking at the trunk, the root plate and the way the crown has grown helps us decide whether the tree can be taken down whole or must come down piece by piece.
In terraced streets the gardens are narrow and often sloping, so we nearly always dismantle trees in sections. Each piece is lowered on ropes to a clear spot instead of falling, which protects the houses beside you and the people below. When wind is strong enough to make the job unsafe, we will move the day. We always check the weather on the day.
Steep access is common in Ebbw Vale. Lanes can be narrow, steps are frequent and a back garden may be reached only through the house or a passage. We ask about this when you call, because it affects how timber is carried out and how the job is planned. Telling us about parking nearby also helps, since a van and equipment need somewhere safe to stand.
We also check for a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area before booking, and we talk to the council if there is any doubt. We cover the nearby places of Beaufort, Cwm, Brynmawr and Tredegar too. If the tree stands on a boundary, speaking to your neighbour early usually avoids awkwardness. We will explain what the council has said, and what that means for your tree, in plain terms.
When the tree is down, we cut the timber into logs and remove the green waste from your Ebbw Vale garden, working carefully so that nothing rolls downhill. The stump can be cut low or ground out by arrangement, and on a slope that is worth thinking about, since a low stump can help hold the soil. If you want logs for burning, tell us first.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Ebbw Vale.
Tree FellingThis tall conifer stood in a Bridgend back garden beside dark fencing and a patio, before we took it down.

Tree FellingWe felled and cut up trees in a Caerphilly back garden, chipping the branches and leaving the plot cleared.

Tree FellingWe took out trees and shrubs from a walled Cardiff back garden, leaving an open lawn next to the conservatory.

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 →It can be, with the right method. We lower sections on ropes rather than letting them fall, and we plan where the timber will go before starting. If a particular tree is too risky to rush, we will say so.
Yes. Splits, cracks, a growing lean or lifted roots after a storm are all reasons to have a tree looked at. We can assess it and tell you whether felling is the sensible option or whether it is stable.
That is quite common on terraced streets. Tell us when you ring and we will plan for it, carrying cut timber through carefully and protecting floors and walls. We will talk through the route during the visit. We have no problem with awkward access, but it is better planned than discovered.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
