Tree Removal in and around Moray and Aberdeenshire

Tree Removal Aberdeenshire

Unfortunately there will always be trees growing in inappropriate locations. So tree removal services can often be required. Even if they start a sensible size for the area, they can outgrow spaces quickly. Sometimes in very destructive ways.

Often there will be trees which self-seed in the crevices of a wall, guttering, close to building foundations, we even see them in chimneys. While we can try very hard to limit the damage of an unfortunately placed tree through pruning and management. Sometimes there really isn’t anything else that can solve the problem except its complete removal.

At Epic Tree Care we have invested in a lot of highly specialised machinery. Tailored to help make the removal process as safe, clean and efficient as possible. Operated by our experienced and knowledgeable tree surgeon Aberdeenshire and Moray.

We have our own Grapplesaw mounted lifting system, allowing us to reach over an obstruction or building in awkward spots. Automatically cutting off a large piece, and lowering it to a safe drop zone for processing. No people in harms way, very low hazard and very low mess.

Our Merlo 40.30 telehandler with attached GMS Grapplesaw makes light work of even the most complex tree removals.

If the location doesn’t work for the big machinery, we also have smaller lifting aids like a minloader and arb cart, to keep the heavy lifting minimised still. Our guys are very experienced and our climbers are used to working with, and without kit. Giving them the experience to tackle any tree confidently.

Tree Removal in Small Spaces

One of the aims for the business, was to do this in a way that is non-harmful for the staff that work with us. There is very little manual timber handling. Although historically tree work was terrible for many tree surgeons physically, due to moving timber, wearing good people’s bodies very early! However with our machinery doing the lifting, we can keep our staff working safely and in good health much longer. No wincing as you watch them lift logs!

Tree Removal Machinery

Storm damage was previously quite rare but 2021-2022 gave us a vast amount of experience in removing trees in Aberdeenshire and Moray from residential and commercial buildings. As well as windblown trees and trees hanging over a variety of obstacles. Epic Tree Care have an advantage in many ways with the large machinery we utilise. Enabling us to complete dangerous tree removals faster, more efficiently and safer than many other tree surgeons could manage.

Removing Trees Safely in Moray

Based in Keith, Moray, our tree removal specialists will make all arrangements. Ensuring any trees removed are done so safely and without damaging the surroundings.

Tree Removal Methods and Planning Arrangements

There are a huge array of different methods used in tree removal. The method involved is primarily based on the surroundings of the tree, condition and species.

One of our highly skilled and qualified forestry team fells the tree in a controlled manner. Often winch assisted for additional safety.
Climbers may go into the crown of the tree, to dismantle. Lowering sections individually usually, avoiding objects or structures.
For a unusually large, health compromised trees, awkward space, or high volume of removals it may require the Merlo. With its grapplesaw for automated removals for additional safety or efficiency.
If even the Merlo isn’t going to cut it due to the location, we can also use Crane Dismantles.
If your site is on a busy roadside, we may need traffic management.
Power shutdowns may be required if the works are in close proximity to power lines.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just purchased a property in Cullen and the trees in our garden needed to be pruned back as the garden was very overgrown. We were extremely happy with the job carried out by Epic Tree Care Limited. Elaine provided us with a clear and detailed quote. When the work was carried out the whole team were lovely and were really helpful in passing on their knowledge about the various species in our garden. Jason also fully explained what they'd done and what they hadn't (nesting birds!) so we knew exactly how the job was progressing. A great job done! I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a couple of trees removed by Epic Tree Care.  They provided a quote very promptly and turned up to carry out the work at the agreed time.   The team were all very helpful and friendly.  The trees were cut up and left in a neat pile as we had requested.  They removed all the unusable small branches and left the area tidy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Epic several times to remove large windblown and damaged trees from our garden and they always do the work very efficiently and expertly at a reasonable cost. Epic also deals with getting consent from Moray Council under the tree preservation order which covers all of the trees in our garden, so we do not need to worry about the paperwork.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve used Epic Tree Care twice now, and on both occasions they’ve delivered excellent service and great value for money. Their pricing is very competitive compared to others I looked at, and they always carry out a survey and provide a free quote before starting any work. The team arrived on time, got straight to work, and were professional and courteous throughout. They did a great job and left my garden clean and tidy afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be using their services again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Epic Tree Care recently dealt with a 20m-plus poplar that had been blown to a precarious angle in the last storm.  It was removed carefully and the surrounding area was tidier after the work than it had been before they arrived.  I will certainly be using Epic Tree Care in future and am very happy to recommend them.
