Safe, Professional Tree Felling and Removal Services Across Somerset and Devon
At Silva Tree Surgeons, we specialise in safe, efficient tree removal – from small garden trees to large, complex dismantles in confined spaces.
With over 20 years of experience, our team combines technical skill, specialist equipment, and a professional approach to ensure every job is completed to the highest standard.
Whether you’re dealing with a dangerous tree, restricted access, or a large site clearance, we provide tailored solutions to remove trees with minimal disruption to your property.
Sectional Tree Dismantling
When straight felling isn’t possible, we use advanced sectional dismantling techniques. Our qualified arborists carefully remove trees in sections, using ropes, pulleys, and lowering devices to control every branch and stem. This method ensures:
- Maximum safety for nearby buildings, fences, and utilities
- Reduced risk of damage to lawns and gardens
- Precision removal in even the tightest spaces
Our climbers and ground crew work seamlessly together, ensuring clear communication with you throughout the process.
Tree Removal with Cranes
For particularly large trees or sites where speed and efficiency are essential, we may employ a crane. This method offers several benefits:
- Large sections can be lifted out whole, reducing site time
- Less manual handling, lowering risks for our team
- Minimal disruption to your garden or property
Silva Tree Surgeons has extensive experience in crane-assisted removals, making it a safe and cost-effective solution for oversized or awkward trees.
Using MEWPs for Tree Work
In some cases, a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) provides the safest and most practical access to a tree. During our site assessment, we’ll determine if a MEWP is the best option based on the tree’s condition and site access.
With access to a variety of machines, we can tackle removals and pruning jobs that might otherwise be too dangerous or difficult to complete by climbing alone.

Stump Removal
Once the tree has been removed, we can also grind out the stump to give you a completely clear space. With machines suited to both small and large stumps, we ensure every root is dealt with, leaving your garden ready for replanting, landscaping, or construction.
