The tree
Height and trunk size set how long the job takes. A tall pine (Pinus halepensis) needs a climber in the crown; a small tree can come down from the ground.
A dead tree, or one that is leaning or already broken, takes more care to bring down safely.
The space around it
With open ground on the side it falls, a tree can come down whole. Close to a house, a pool or a wall, we climb it and lower it in sections on ropes. That takes longer.
Access
Whether our tractor and truck can get close to the tree changes how long it takes to move the wood and branches out.
The permit
For any tree removal we apply for the permit. It is part of the job, and the felling waits until the permit is granted.
The wood and the branches
We take the wood away or stack it on site, as you prefer. We shred the branches on site or take them away by truck. Shredding on site costs less than taking it away.

Clearing a whole plot depends on the same things — size, access and what happens to the green waste. See land clearing and fire prevention.
