Helicopter at work on tree care and arborist tasks

Tree care & arborist

Tree care & arborist work
by helicopter

We support contractors, landowners and organisations with tree care and arborist missions where the helicopter is the safest and most efficient option.

Airborne precision

For missions where ground access is limited

When working in steep terrain, archipelago settings or close to sensitive infrastructure, helicopter operations can be the most efficient option. They enable safe lifts and transports without causing unnecessary ground damage or requiring extensive site preparation.

Together with experienced arborists we carry out precision work where traditional methods are difficult, time-consuming or simply impossible.

  • Archipelago
  • Limited accessibility
  • Sensitive environments
  • Efficient logistics

Our services

Common assignments where a helicopter is used

Top cutting

Controlled top cutting where certified arborists carry out the tree work and the helicopter is used for lifting and safe removal.

Pruning

Professional pruning and branch removal together with arborists. The helicopter makes lifts and transports efficient.

Removal

Removal of branches, tree tops and other material from hard-to-reach sites.

Special missions

Tailored solutions for complex arborist and tree-care projects.

Use cases

Where our services add the most value

Archipelago

Tree work on islands and shore environments where ground access is limited.

Infrastructure

Work along powerline corridors, roads and railways where safety is decisive.

Parks & nature

Gentle work in parks, nature reserves and built-up areas.

Inaccessible terrain

Steep slopes, ravines and forest land with no access road.

How it works

From planning to completed mission

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Describe the site, the task and any time frames.

  2. 02

    Planning

    We build a plan together with the arborist and ground crew.

  3. 03

    Risk assessment

    Safety zones, lift points and roles are agreed in advance.

  4. 04

    Execution

    The helicopter performs the work in close cooperation with the ground team and arborist.

  5. 05

    Removal & close-out

    Material is flown out, the site is restored and the mission documented.

FAQ

Questions about helicopter tree care

Yes, the archipelago is one of our most common environments for tree work. The helicopter is often the only option on islands without road access, where we can perform top cutting, pruning and removal without damaging sensitive nature or jetties.

Helicopters are used where traditional ground-based felling is risky or impossible – above buildings, power lines and roads, and in inaccessible terrain. The solution reduces ground impact and significantly shortens working time.

Yes, we move branches, tree tops and other material from sites where ground extraction is impractical. The material is flown to an agreed staging area for further handling.

Assignments where safety, precision and accessibility are the main challenges – such as work near infrastructure, storm-damaged trees in high-risk environments and clearing in inaccessible terrain or the archipelago.

We always do a joint walk-through with client and arborists, mapping the site, weather, safety zones and communication paths. That's the foundation for a safe and efficient operation.

Price depends on the location, the scope of the work, the weather window and which helicopter best suits the mission. We provide a clear quote after a short needs analysis.

Coverage

We carry out missions across Sweden

Based in Stockholm

Our operations are based in Stockholm, but we carry out tree-care and arborist missions across the entire country – from the Stockholm archipelago and Lake Mälaren to Bohuslän, the Norrland coast and the mountains. We adapt the helicopter and team to the site's conditions.
