Tree felling in Dunfermline

Direct felling is rarely an option around Dunfermline's historic Abbey and Heritage Quarter, where narrow closes and tightly packed buildings mean sectional dismantling is usually the safer method instead.

On the newer estates on the edges of town, gardens are often more open, so felling can be a quicker, more cost-effective option where there's a clear direction for the tree to come down.

Felling suits trees with a clear, open direction to fall in. Where space is limited or the tree sits close to a building, fence or road, sectional dismantling is usually the safer route, and we'll confirm which one applies before quoting.
