Emergency Tree Removal Newbury and Nearby

If you have a leaning or fallen tree in your garden or on your land, Green Tips can help. Before any cutting, we look over the tree and its surroundings: how sound it is, which way it leans and what could be in the way, such as buildings, fences and cables.

We mark out a safe work area and bring the right equipment and protective gear for the job. Where space is limited, we take the tree down in smaller sections and lower each one carefully. We clear the waste and leave the site tidy.

With 30 years of arboricultural experience behind us, we deal with a dangerous tree in a calm, controlled way.

Signs a Tree Is Unsafe

A tree may be unsafe if it leans much more than it used to, or if the ground around it has lifted or cracked. Look out for a trunk that has split, deep cracks in the main limbs, or large patches of bark falling away.

Dead wood in the upper crown, leaves dropping early, or fungus appearing around the base are other signs to take seriously. Once a storm has passed, look up for branches that are hanging or have come loose. If you notice any of these, keep clear and contact our tree surgeons for advice.

Tree Removal Services

Tree removal helps with trees that are unsafe, damaged, diseased or in the wrong place. We inspect the tree, plan the safest approach and remove it with controlled cutting and suitable equipment.

We can also grind out the stump, clear all the waste and tidy the site so your outdoor space is safe and ready to use.

Planned Tree Removal

Planned removal is a safe, organised way to take down a tree that no longer suits your garden or site. We look at the tree and how we can reach it, then plan each step so nearby buildings, fences and planting are kept out of harm's way.

The tree comes down carefully and the waste is disposed of responsibly, leaving the area clean.

Sectional Dismantling

When there is not enough space to fell a tree in one piece, it is taken down in smaller sections, often with ropes and controlled lowering to protect what is nearby.

It is a good fit near homes, roads, sheds and power lines, and keeps the job safe and controlled.

Stump Removal

Stump removal clears away the stump and main roots after a tree has been cut down. This helps stop new shoots coming back and leaves the ground safer and more usable.

We use specialist equipment to grind the stump below ground level, so the space can be levelled, replanted or prepared for paving or turf.

Fallen Tree Clearance

We clear trees and large branches that have come down in storms or through disease or damage. The area is made safe first, then the timber is cut and removed in manageable pieces.

Debris is cleared from gardens, drives, paths and entrances to restore access quickly, and waste is recycled where possible.

Site Tidy-up

Tidy-up is the final step, leaving your outdoor space neat and safe after the work. We collect branches, logs and loose debris, then rake and clear around the area.

If you ask, we can chip smaller material for removal or reuse, which limits mess, lowers trip risks and leaves your garden ready to use.

Emergency Tree Service

Emergency work is needed most when trees become dangerous through storm damage, splitting, leaning or falling branches. We get to you quickly to reduce the risk to people and property.

The area is made safe first, then the hazard is removed with controlled cutting. We clear the debris and leave the site tidy and secure.

What to Do First in an Emergency

If a tree has fallen or looks unsafe, keep people and pets well away if you can. Do not go near hanging branches or a leaning trunk, because it can shift without warning.

If any part of the tree is in contact with power lines, keep your distance and ring the electricity network operator immediately. Call 999 if a road is blocked or members of the public are at risk. Take clear photos from a safe distance if you can, then contact Green Tips to arrange urgent help.
