However, when you have a tree pruned is indeed important. For the good of the tree, this is often summer!

Felling a tree: dangerous specialist work
Felling or felling trees is dangerous and specialist work. Safety is always paramount. So it is best to leave tree felling to our expertise. We know how to fell a tree and this is different in every situation.
We fell, cut or grub trees so that the tree can fall freely. But just as well if it is in a difficult place. And we climb the tree, using rope technology and catching techniques, break into pieces and remove.
Many think that “just sawing down” a tree is simple. Nothing is less true. At the felling using a felling cut and felling cut There is a lot to look at, if you wish this safe expires.
Capture technology is ideal for felling trees in difficult places
We grub or cut down your tree completely without damage. Even if the crown and branches are above a conservatory, veranda, wall, work of art or roof.
Our advanced and efficient capture techniques, just like our knowledge of the different methods and methods of how to fell a tree, deliver enormous time savings. This way you save on the price of felling your trees.
Which trees do we fell or fell for you?
Felling a large or thick tree: the heavy felling
Cutting down large trees or thick trees is very specialized work and heavy work. It's always necessary safe to happen.
Make sure that such trees have an enormous weight and fall range. It is therefore important that a heavy felling is tackled correctly.
Sometimes we remove it by climbing first we cut down a few heavy branches and only then do we fell the entire tree. Both it applying the fall notch and felling cut happens when felling thick trees in several times. Because the chainsaw blade is often too short. This makes felling more difficult than normal.
The large and heavy chainsaws required for this pose a greater safety risk than normal. We therefore adhere to the safety rules.
It is best to leave the heavy felling to us. We are also equipped for this in terms of logistics: crane with sorting grab, large chopper and containers for disposal if necessary. We often try to carry out the heavy felling with the help of a telescopic crane.
We would like to repeat: think about the felling permit or felling authorization. And ask us for the first inspect the tree thoroughly, maybe that will show us tree advice does not indicate at all that the tree needs to be cut down.
Also think carefully about whether you really want to fell your large tree. Pruning is cheaper and can also be a solution. Read more about how we can help your how to prune a large beech tree, and what benefits this has.
After removing a tree, the wood can be split
With our splitting machines we also split the largest blocks of wood (up to a diameter of 2 meters and more). We split the very large blocks with a splitting beam that is mounted on our small and light crawler crane. Light, then we won't cause soil damage. And we always use road plates.
We then split those blocks with our caterpillar splitter, which makes up to 6 blocks of firewood in one go.
And with our cutting machine we saw every block of firewood at lightning speed to the desired and exactly the same length.
We cut down dead trees safely
Thanks to the advanced rope technology and the necessary knowledge and skills of regular rigging, 3D rigging and... crane techniques (telescopic crane) b-Tree Tree Care can serve you with the greatest care and in the most efficient manner. Especially when felling dead trees.
Felling a dead tree is very dangerous. Because it is not always known whether the tree still has sufficient mechanical strength to climb. Or to stand next to it with an aerial work platform.
Or to harvest them according to the normal method with felling cut and felling cut. With this last method the hinge might consist only of weak wood. Then the tree can fall in all directions with all its consequences.
You also have one for dead trees felling permit necessary. You are not exempt from one felling authorization because the tree you felled is dead. A dead tree often has a very high ecological value.
And if the dead tree does not pose a danger to the environment, you can certainly consider leaving it. As an ecological monument or ecological insect hotel. Nature and b‑Tree Tree Care will be grateful to you for it.
Remove a dead tree or leave it as an ecological monument?
We can do the inspect the tree and the surrounding area and you it correct tree advice to give. To keep the dead tree safely for as long as possible.
A solution could consist of installing a large tree mirror with a low natural border and wild vegetation within it. When the dead tree falls, it falls completely within the closed tree mirror. And then it won't hurt anyone or cause an accident.
Another option is to do it through pruning and heavy taking of large branches and further support the tree correctly. So that the reduced dead tree can be further digested in a safe manner by the fungi present.
If there are no options, you must remove the tree.
Dangerous trees – emergency felling or urgent felling
If there is a sudden threat of danger due to a tree that is leaning or partially broken or uprooted, we will help as quickly as possible.
We arrive on site to stabilize the situation so that the danger is removed. The tree will then be felled according to the emergency felling procedure.
Sometimes it is enough to have one to prune tree to remove the danger. If this is possible, we prefer this option. It is also cheaper in most cases. When a tree is pruned is important. But in an emergency situation this cannot be taken into account. Pruning will also take place at a less favorable time. To remove the danger as quickly as possible.
Cut down a diseased or mushroom-infested tree
A seriously decaying or diseased tree can sometimes no longer be saved. It is then necessary to fell it before it falls over under its own weight. And when there are no more options to preserve the dead tree as an ecological monument or ecological insect hotel.
Many mushrooms that grow on trees are parasites. Parasites attack the wood substance of a tree. They eat the tree, so to speak.
This weakens the mechanical structure of the wood and the tree. A parasitic fungal infection often affects the stem base or roots. This undermines the mechanical strength of the tree. Which eventually causes the tree to fall over.
If you find mushrooms on one of your trees, please ask us in a timely manner tree to be inspected by means of a VTA check. It's important to get it right tree advice because some mushrooms damage the tree very quickly, such as the resin fungus on American oak or the real tinder fungus on beech. Don't hesitate to contact us contact. Sometimes it is necessary to fell the tree urgently.
Thinning logging in the forest – QD method
In addition to felling sick or damaged trees, we also fell healthy trees. For example, for production or to provide the production forest with high-quality wood in the long term.
This is done by performing a thinning cap or simply called thinning.
One of the thinning methods that we carry out is thinning according to the QD method.
We fell the trees around the future trees so that the future trees have more space, light, water and nutrition. This way you get more beautiful trees that will yield more at a timber sale.
Also have your future trees selected by us, so that nothing is overlooked and you make the right choices.
Harvesting difficult trees
Not every tree can be felled easily. When a tree cannot fall freely or you cannot reach it with an aerial work platform. Whether the tree is in a location that is difficult to reach, we can call it a tree that is difficult to fell.
Sometimes the regular rope technique is not applicable and we will have to use 3D techniques.
You have certainly come to the right place at b-Tree Tree Care for a difficult felling.
We start where others stop.
We regularly work for garden contractors and other tree care providers.
Inclined tree felling
Felling a tree at an angle is always a risky job. When felling the slanted tree, the hinge in the cutting surface can break off and the tree will not fall in the desired direction or the tree will fall while sawing the fall notch if you approach this incorrectly. We use steering and pulling lines to ensure that the tree lands without damage and in the right place.
Cutting down trees for wood
We also carry out forestry felling. This is pure felling for production wood. We also organize timber sales or purchases if you wish.
Sheets with telescopic crane
The breaking down a tree and removing a tree using a telescopic crane we do not avoid it, on the contrary. Due to our extensive knowledge and safety standards we feel strongest here.

What determines the price to fell a tree?
- If the tree can fall freely, this will be possible for the best price. No climbing work needs to be done or no aerial work platform needs to be brought in and used.
- If trees have to be felled using rope technology and climbing work, this will cost more. It takes more time in working hours. Breaking down the tree piece by piece according to the top to bottom approach simply takes longer. On the other hand, being able to saw off the tree at once at ground level is much faster.
- The price is also determined by whether or not the branches, chopped wood and trunk parts have to be removed. The accessibility of the tree's location also plays a major role. If the tree is in a small city garden where everything has to be carried outside manually through a limited passage, the price will be higher because it requires more working hours.
VAT rate for removing trees
The VAT regulations, currently at the time of writing, indicate that 6% VAT must be charged when cutting or felling trees, if the firewood remains on site with the customer.
When we remove the wood, we must charge 21% according to VAT regulations. The latter could have to do with the fact that this last action (disposal of the wood) is seen as an economic activity. And not as a forestry service or agricultural service; where 6% is charged.
Additional transactions are charged at a VAT rate depending on the main transaction. Ask us for more information about this if you wish!
