Over the years best practices for removing sick or damaged trees have evolved in step with evolving technologies. One of the most recent advances in tree removal technology is the grapple saw. The grapple saw represents the state-of-the-art in tree removal. It is typically attached to a crane or boom and allows the operator (tree surgeon) to maintain a safe distance while quickly and effectively removing the tree. Epic Tree Care provide expert grapple saw tree removal in North East Scotland for residential and commercial customers.
Professional Grapple Saw Tree Removal
Sick or damaged trees, or trees that have been approved for removal to make way for development must be dealt with in a safe and effective manner. The grapple saw enables the tree surgeon to access virtually any tree, regardless of its location, dismantle it in stages and deposit the pieces into a designated drop zone where they can be safely removed for further processing.
Our leading edge equipment gives us a leg up on other tree removal services in North East Scotland. So if there is a tree on your property that needs removal your first call should be to Epic Tree Care for a free consultation. During the consultation, a member of our team will assess your situation and then provide a written quotation detailing the correct course of action and related expenses.
Before bringing in the grapple saw we will check to ensure the tree is not within a conservation area or protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Should the situation require liaising with the local council our experts will assist you every step of the way to make sure all necessary permissions are obtained.
