Following a period of high winds, a mature poplar in a residential garden suffered a major limb failure, leaving a large section hanging in the canopy above the garden and adjoining boundary. Our team attended the next day to assess the tree and carry out an emergency make-safe.

With the failed limb still partially attached and under load, a climb-and-rig approach carried unnecessary risk, so we brought in our CMC S18F tracked spider lift to access the damage directly. Working from the platform, our climber sectionally removed the hanging limb and any other compromised material, lowering sections in a controlled manner to make the tree safe for the household and neighbouring properties.

What we did

  • Emergency response the day after wind damage
  • Removal of mature poplar
  • Aerial access via CMC S18F tracked spider lift
  • On-site chipping and garden made safe and tidy

"Working locally in Lancashire, we're proud to offer a fast, reliable service to residential customers — turning up when we say we will and treating every garden like it's our own."
