Our Arboricultural & Chainsaw Services
We offer a comprehensive range of tree surgery and specialist chainsaw services, supporting projects of varying sizes and complexity.
Tree Felling & Tree Removal
We undertake tree felling and removal operations where trees need to be removed for safety, land management, development or site clearance purposes. Depending on the tree, its condition and the surrounding environment, work may involve controlled felling, sectional dismantling or the use of specialist plant to assist with the operation.
We consider site access, nearby structures, public areas, utilities and other potential hazards when planning tree removal, helping ensure that each operation is approached appropriately.
Complex Chainsaw Operations
Some tree work requires more than conventional cutting techniques. We undertake specialist chainsaw operations involving challenging timber, restricted access, fallen trees and difficult working conditions.
Our services can support arboricultural contractors, construction companies, utilities and landowners who require additional expertise and suitable equipment for demanding tree work. Where appropriate, mechanical assistance can be provided using excavators, arb diggers and specialist timber-handling attachments.
Arb Digger & Specialist Plant Support
North Yorkshire Plant Hire combines its plant hire capabilities with arboricultural operations, providing access to machinery suited to demanding tree work and vegetation management.
Arb diggers, 360-degree excavators and suitable specialist attachments can assist with timber handling, tree clearance, brash management and other operations where mechanical support improves efficiency. Equipment requirements are assessed according to the site, task and operating conditions.
This combination of plant and practical arboricultural capability is particularly valuable for larger projects, commercial sites and challenging clearance operations.
Windblown Tree & Storm Damage Clearance
High winds and severe weather can leave uprooted trees, broken limbs and fallen timber obstructing roads, access routes, agricultural land and commercial premises.
We provide windblown tree and storm damage clearance to help remove fallen timber, restore access and support the safe management of affected areas. Storm-damaged trees can present significant hazards, particularly where trunks and branches remain under tension or root plates are unstable. These situations require careful assessment and appropriate methods of work.
Our combination of chainsaw operations and specialist plant can support clearance projects ranging from individual fallen trees to more extensive storm damage operations.
Chainsaw Logging & Timber Processing
We provide chainsaw logging and timber processing services for landowners, estates, agricultural businesses, forestry contractors and commercial clients.
Our capabilities include processing felled trees, cutting timber into manageable sections and preparing material for extraction, transportation or further use. By combining chainsaw work with suitable mechanical handling equipment, we can support projects involving substantial timber volumes and demanding site conditions.
These services can form part of a wider tree felling, woodland management or land clearance project.
Wood Chipping & Brash Processing
Wood chipping provides an efficient way to manage branches, brash and woody vegetation generated during tree surgery, felling and clearance operations.
Our wood chipping services complement our wider arboricultural offering, helping process timber arisings into more manageable material. Depending on the project requirements, wood chipping can be incorporated into a coordinated package of tree removal, timber handling and site clearance.
Tree & Vegetation Clearance
Our services extend beyond individual tree work to support wider vegetation management and clearance requirements. We work with contractors, local authorities, utilities and landowners who need practical solutions for overgrown areas, obstructed access routes and vegetation requiring removal as part of planned works.
With access to specialist plant and attachments, we can support larger clearance operations across development sites, commercial premises, agricultural land and infrastructure corridors.

Safety, Competence & Responsible Tree Management
