I find more and more recently we are underataking
Tree Surveys here in the UK for such feat task. Health and Safety has gone through the roof.
The combinatation of a Tree Jack with a control rope is pretty standard for us (as always there are health and safety concerns). This is the same in my most recent visit to Switzerland.
We use a drone to study the area for the most optimal path of felling along with the safety issue. The areas we generally work are heritage grounds in the UK, we cannot risk the dangers of a tree falling in the path of a listed building.
