Tree Removal advice
What is the 5 15 90 rule tree felling?
- The 5 15 90 rule is sometimes mentioned as a practical tree felling guide, but it should not replace professional assessment.
- Safe felling depends on tree lean, wind, defects, escape routes, hinge control and surrounding hazards.
- The wrong cut can cause a tree to split, fall unpredictably or damage nearby property.
- Large trees, dead trees, awkward leaning trees or trees near buildings should be handled by trained professionals.
- Personal protective equipment and the right chainsaw techniques are essential.
- If you are not experienced, it is safer to request a professional quote rather than attempting tree felling yourself.
