Devon Storm Damage Tree Removal
North Devon’s Atlantic weather can be brutal. High winds regularly bring down branches and whole trees – and the aftermath of a storm can leave properties across the region dealing with dangerous debris, damaged structures and compromised trees that are at risk of coming down.
We respond to storm damage calls across North Devon, Exmoor and Dartmoor. This includes removing fallen trees and large branches, making dangerously leaning trees safe, clearing debris from driveways and access routes, and assessing trees that have been structurally compromised by the storm but are still standing.
If you’re unsure whether a tree is safe after a storm, don’t leave it – trees that have been partially uprooted or have suffered significant root damage can fail without warning. Get in touch and we’ll carry out an honest assessment and advise on the right course of action.
Blocked Driveways & Access
A tree or large branch across a driveway, access road or footpath needs clearing promptly – particularly if it’s affecting your ability to leave your property or preventing emergency vehicles from getting through.
We carry out emergency clearance of blocked access routes across North Devon and the surrounding area. Our team will cut back and remove the fallen timber quickly, clearing the route and removing all waste from site. For rural properties and farms across Exmoor and Dartmoor where access roads can be remote and difficult to reach, we’re well-practised in getting to less accessible locations with the right equipment.
Dangerous & Leaning Trees
Not all tree emergencies involve a tree that has already fallen. A tree that has developed a dangerous lean, suffered significant root damage, has large deadwood overhead, or has been structurally weakened by disease can pose just as serious a risk – and often needs dealing with before it becomes a more urgent problem.
If you have a tree you’re concerned about – whether it’s leaning towards a building, shedding large branches, or simply looks like it’s in poor condition – our team can carry out an assessment and advise on the safest course of action. In some cases that means removal; in others, targeted tree surgery can make the tree safe and preserve it where it can still stand for years to come.
