Felling work

Maximum safety when felling trees


Felling work: Cutting down trees, removing tree stumps

Your tree didn’t survive the last storm? The imposing chestnut tree is infested by pests? The lime tree is overaged? The fir tree provides too much shade? When trees have to give way: There are many reasons why it is time to say goodbye to a tree. Be it for safety reasons or to make room for a redesign of your property. Professional felling is indispensable, as safety is the top priority and any damage must be avoided.

Professional felling for best safety

In addition to safety, there is a number of other things to consider: There are different rules depending on the canton and municipality – because trees may not be removed at random. As a specialised company, we know the rules as to when and how a tree may be felled. We have the knowledge and the tools to remove trees professionally. Our services also include shredding and removal of the felled tree. Let us know which tree you would like to remove and we will prepare a non-binding offer for you.

When is the right time to cut down a tree? Can I cut down trees on my property? Which trees may only be felled with and which without permission? When felling a tree, many things have to be considered. Gasser Gartenbau will be pleased to advise you personally and inform you about all practical and legal aspects when you want to cut down a tree.

We have the knowledge, experience and machines for professional felling work

When the tree has already reached a stately size, it is a demanding job to cut it down. We have the knowledge, the experience and the machines to cut down trees safely. We are happy to come by before the felling to get an overview and plan the tree felling. Safety is our top priority and we take no risks. Of course, we take care of all the work that needs to be done after felling, such as the professional disposal of the tree trunks and branches. We remove trunks and roots on request. We always find a solution, even if the tree is difficult to reach. If necessary, we use a helicopter or crane. We would be happy to come by and personally inspect your property in all municipalities in the Basel region.

Our team includes certified tree climbers for whom no crown is too high. For you we climb to the top and reach fine branches. There are many different types of trees, which have different requirements depending on the location. Each tree species is special and to ensure good growth, regular tree care is necessary. Working on tall trees and thin branches also carries its risks for those who do not suffer from vertigo. The tree climbers at Gasser Gartenbau have the necessary knowledge about trees and know the techniques to work safely at height. The rope climbing technique is a safe and efficient method for tree care. We would be pleased to advise you on all aspects of tree care at height in your garden in the region of Basel-City and Basel-Land and Basel-Stadt.
