Our Tree Felling Process
Tree felling in Cape Town involves a series of carefully coordinated steps to ensure safety for all involved, environmental consideration and successful branch removal and functional tree extraction overall. Here are the key steps that we follow in a typical tree removal and felling service in Cape Town. We offer at Pools and Tree Felling Pty Ltd:
Assessment and Planning:
- Tree Evaluation: Assess the health, size, and structural integrity of the tree. Identify any signs of disease, decay, or structural issues that may affect the felling process.
- Site Inspection: Evaluate the surrounding area, including nearby structures, power lines, and other potential obstacles. Consider the direction in which the tree should fall.
Obtaining Permits and Permissions:
- Check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits or permissions required for tree felling. This may include environmental impact assessments and compliance with local tree preservation laws.
Safety Precautions:
- Implement safety measures to protect workers and bystanders. This includes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safety barriers, and proper signage.
Clearance of the Work Area:
- Clear the area around the tree, removing any obstacles or debris that could interfere with the felling process. Establish a safe work zone to prevent accidents.
Equipment Preparation:
- Ensure that all tools and equipment, such as chainsaws and ropes, are in good working condition. Check that safety features are functional.
Establishing an Escape Route:
- Plan and establish a safe escape route for workers in case the tree does not fall as intended. This route should be clear of obstacles.
Making the Felling Cut:
- Make the felling cut, which involves making a horizontal cut (also known as a notch or wedge cut) on the side of the tree facing the desired falling direction. This cut helps control the direction of the tree’s fall.
Making the Back Cut:
- Make a horizontal cut on the opposite side of the felling cut, slightly above the bottom of the notch. This cut, known as the back cut, determines the final direction of the tree’s fall.
Using Wedges:
- Insert wedges into the back cut to control the tree’s descent and prevent the saw from getting pinched. This helps guide the tree in the intended direction.
Tree Falling:
- As the tree begins to lean and fall, maintain a safe distance. The wedge and notch should guide the tree’s descent along the planned path.
Cleanup and Debris Management:
- Remove branches and limbs from the fallen tree to facilitate transportation and disposal. Dispose of debris in an environmentally responsible manner.
Stump Removal (Optional):
- Depending on the project requirements, the stump may be removed using specialized equipment. Stump grinding or removal can be a separate process.
Site Restoration:
- If necessary, restore the site by filling in holes, leveling the ground, or planting new vegetation. Consider erosion control measures to prevent soil runoff.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Document the tree felling process, including any challenges encountered and the disposal methods used. Maintain records for regulatory compliance and future reference.
