Large Poplar Tree Removal in Kings Worthy, Winchester
At C&D Trees, we recently completed a large-scale poplar tree removal project in Kings Worthy, Winchester, involving several mature trees that had become a significant safety concern.
Why Were the Trees Removed?
These large poplar trees had a history of storm damage, with some previously failing during high winds. Unfortunately, this had already resulted in significant damage to nearby property and created an unacceptable risk to residents and the surrounding area.
Following a professional assessment, it was determined that the remaining trees should be removed in carefully planned stages to eliminate the ongoing risk while minimising disruption.
Working with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
As these trees were protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), the project required careful planning and the appropriate permissions before any work could begin.
The removal formed part of a long-term tree management strategy, with a replacement and replanting programme running alongside the works. This ensures the local tree population is maintained while replacing ageing and potentially hazardous trees with suitable new planting for future generations.
Responsible tree management isn’t just about removing trees—it’s about protecting public safety while preserving the local environment.
Specialist Equipment for Large Tree Removal
Removing mature poplar trees safely requires the right equipment and experienced operators.
For this project, we used:
Merlo Roto telescopic handler
Ufkes high-capacity wood chipper
Valtra tractor and trailer
This specialist machinery enabled us to dismantle and process these very large trees efficiently while maintaining a safe working environment and reducing disruption on site.
