Felling
The complete removal of the tree from the ground level only when there is enough clearance and space to do so.
Dismantling
The removal of the tree by hand in smaller sections usually with the aid of lowering equipment, this method is used to avoid obstacles i.e. sheds and greenhouse’s etc.
Crown Thinning

Re-shaping
The pruning of trees or hedges which are out of shape or lop sided to achieve a balanced natural looking tree.
Coppicing
A traditional method of cutting down trees to ground level and allowing the stump to regenerate and after several years repeating the process, trees which are coppiced are kept in a juvenile state and can last many more years than a tree left to grow untouched.
Stump Grinding
The removal of stumps by means of a mechanical machine called a stump grinder this machine away the stump to a depth to around 4 – 6 inches below ground level all that remains will be wood chips.
