What is

Mechanised Arboriculture?


Mechanised Arboriculture, or Mechanised Arb,  is the use of arboricultural machinery to perform  tree removal operations.  Rather than our teams climbing trees to perform tree surgery with chainsaws, they operate our specialist machinery to perform efficient tree services from the safety of the machine, reducing working at height and less exposure to noise and vibration.

What are the benefits of Mechanised Arboriculture?


Arboricultural machinery used to fell trees and remove vegetation has the obvious benefit of being a safer alternative as it reduces fatigue and strain on the human body.  Additionally, it enables quicker tree removal, so costs to the client are reduced.
