Trees in urban areas must ensure stable structural integrity and a high level of safety. Upon request, we assess the stability of your tree and show you alternatives. In many cases, crown reduction or the installation of crown bracing can prevent felling.   <\/p>\n<p>However, if tree felling is unavoidable, we assess the most efficient and safest method depending on the location and the size of the tree. The felling is often carried out using rope access techniques (rigging), a crane or, in special cases, a helicopter. This makes it possible to remove trees safely even in confined spaces.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Standing deadwood has high ecological value in urban areas and provides valuable habitat for many organisms. A so-called eco pillar is created when a tree is reduced to a base trunk around 3\u20138 m high. Planting climbing plants can further increase the ecological value.
