J W Salmon ~ Arboricultural Contractor, Hertfordshire, Herts

An essential skill of any professional arborist is the safe and efficient removal of trees. An operation that always demands careful planning and execution and in sensitive locations, extreme precision. We take great pride in our ability to fulfill all of these requirements, assisted by our extensive experience of such operations, a wealth of knowledge in the understanding of the tree and the potential hazards it may pose. As with all tree operations and as per health and safety guidelines and best practice, prior to undertaking any removal, the following measures are taken;

* Full site inspection of the tree and it's location, including bat and bird nesting habitats.
* Confirmation from the local council as to the presence of any Tree Preservation Orders or other restrictions that may be in place.
* Comprehensive site specific method statement and risk assessment.

When we are satisfied that all of the initial steps have been completed and work can get underway, we will;

* Secure the safe working zone.
* Section fell using efficient rigging techniques.
* Leave the site clear and tidy with the minimum of disturbance.
* Provide advice and assistance on the re-planting of an appropriate specie.
