At Joan Boscata, we consider urban felling as the last resort in tree management. Our commitment is to preserve and maintain trees whenever possible, opting for controlled pruning and other techniques that guarantee the safety and health of the tree. We only resort to felling when there are no viable alternatives to guarantee the safety or functionality of the space.

When is a Felling Necessary?

Felling is only carried out in justified cases, such as:

• Sick or dead trees that are at risk of falling.
• Unstable trees with structural danger after storms or mechanical damage.
• Irreversible interference with buildings, infrastructure or power lines.
• Risk prevention in situations where pruning cannot guarantee the necessary safety.

Types of Urban Tales

Controlled Felling with Branch Descent

• We use rope climbing techniques and controlled descent of branches using ropes and pulleys.
• This technique is ideal in environments with limited space, such as narrow streets, gardens or near buildings.
• The branches are lowered progressively, avoiding impacts and protecting the environment.

Crane Assisted Logging

• It is used in cases where the tree presents a high structural risk or when its size prevents safe manual removal.
• Cranes allow large sections of the tree to be removed with precision and speed, minimizing damage to the ground and nearby infrastructure.
• This technique is especially useful in urban areas with large trees.

A Responsible and Sustainable Process

• Preliminary assessment: We carry out a detailed analysis to determine if felling is really necessary. We always prioritize conservative techniques such as pruning and structural reinforcement before deciding to fell.
• Guaranteed safety: We strictly comply with safety regulations and use equipment
  approved to protect both workers and public spaces.
• Waste management: We are responsible for the removal and recovery of wood and plant remains, promoting a sustainable cycle.

Preservation as a Priority

At Joan Boscata, responsible forest management is one of our fundamental principles. Always
We look for sustainable alternatives before resorting to felling, whether with controlled pruning,
structural supports or specific treatments.

When logging is inevitable, we guarantee a professional, safe and environmentally friendly service, following sustainable and efficient practices.
