Tree Felling Services in Aberdeenshire & Moray
Felling trees in a woodland or forest presents particular challenges. Trees can become hung up in neighbouring trees. While trees on the edge of the woodland are often leaning away from where you want to fell them. Once trees are felled, they will need to be cut and moved to timber stacks for collection.
Epic Tree Care has experienced tree surgeons who are skilled in felling trees in woodlands and forests in Moray, Banffshire and Aberdeenshire. We can provide timber harvesting for small woodlands in northeast Scotland. With tractor-mounted forwarders and other machinery to extract timber from small woodland sites. Or on larger forestry sites we can work alongside machine harvesters to fell and process large and difficult trees.
For felling trees in gardens and built-up areas, please visit the tree surgeon section of our website. There you will find information on our tree surgery services across Moray, Banffshire, Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city.

- Assistance with Applications for Felling Licences – With the penalty for unlicensed felling as much as £5,000 per tree, you do not want to make a mistake when it comes to the paperwork that will need to be completed before felling commences. Let our team provide you with full support throughout the application process and you can avoid making any costly errors.
- Help with Felling Operation Calculations – To ensure that the whole operation goes smoothly from start to finish, we can help you to make all the necessary calculations, such as the estimated volume of timber that is expected from the project. With our specialists to back you, it will be much easier to complete the whole operation in a timely and efficient manner.
- Mapping of Area Where Felling Is to Take Place – Once the areas of felling have been identified, we can create a map of your land detailing felling areas, as part of the tree felling services that we offer. Our detailed maps provide a clear picture of where tree felling operations should take place, helping you to obtain the necessary licenses and plan your site efficiently.
- Felling Completed by Experienced Professionals – The felling itself will, of course, be completed by fully qualified and insured tree surgeons with many years of experience. All work will be carried out in accordance with recommended industry practices and relevant government regulations. As highly skilled arboricultural professionals, we are capable of tackling large and complex felling operations with impressive levels of speed and efficiency.
- Replanting Assistance – In the majority of cases, replanting is the preferred option after a tree felling operation has been completed. We can help you to choose the right type of trees if you wish to replant and we can even help you to manage your new plantation as well if desired. Many landowners use this time as an opportunity to introduce more appropriate species of trees if there were any issues with the original specimens.
