Days 1-2:
We install tree protection. Fencing off root protection zones for retained Category A and B trees. Site setup and access confirmed.Days 2-4:
Category U removals. Dead, dangerous, and development-conflicting trees. Sectional dismantling with ropes and rigging is common.Days 4-6:
Category C removals. Low-value trees blocking the build area.Days 6-7:
Work on retained Category B trees. Pruning, crown reductions, deadwood removal.Days 7-8:
Waste removal. Timber chipped on site, logs removed, ground left tidy for the groundworks crew.This is a guide. Every site is different. A small domestic plot can be a one-day job.
