Tree Surgeon South London

The Storm of Agnes of 2022 brought a record number of storm-damaged trees to the attention of Tree Surgeons across the country. South London was no exception. ‘Tree Surgeons In South London’ was among the many Tree Surgery firms across the city to provide emergency support to homeowners, public authorities with damage from trees as a result of the storm.

Of the many Trees requiring emergency Tree Work in London, Tree Surgeons In South London were faced with an Extra Large Beech Tree  (Fagus Sylbatica) in Lewisham. One co-dominant stem had snapped out and hung up in a neighbouring Oak Tree. The fallen tree was situated on a public footpath running through the wooded section of a park. Because the job involved freeing up an extra large tree from a precarious hung-up situation, many tree surgeons turned down the opportunity. One of our best teams at Tree Surgeons In South London accepted the work and assessed the safest possible method to get the tree to the ground with the equipment available to them…

In a situation like like this, there is no approach that can eliminate the risks involved. Large Hung up trees contain stored forces that make all Tree Surgey on them even more hazardous than usual. After assessing the situation, risk and kit available the team commenced an efficient operation on the fallen beech using anchors from neighbouring trees and standard methods to free up hung-up trees.
