A mature tree in Stirling had split at its main union and was leaning over a fence and shed, so we rigged it down safely in sections.

At a working campsite in Moffat, we removed five hazardous and declining trees, including a mature ash dismantled beside a protected badger sett under a NatureScot licence.

This Dunblane tree looked fairly normal from the outside, but bracket fungi, internal decay and roots disturbed by ground works had left it structurally compromised, so we took it down in sections.
