      <h2 class="section-title">Controlled Felling vs Sectional Dismantling</h2>
    <p>Tree felling is the controlled cutting of a tree at its base so it falls in a predetermined direction. It's efficient and cost-effective when space allows — but most Brisbane suburban blocks don't have the clear fall zone a large tree requires.</p>
    <p>Our arborists assess each job individually. If there's safe fall clearance, straight felling is quoted. If there's not — fences, buildings, other trees, powerlines — we use sectional dismantling, working from the top down in manageable sections. Either way, the result is the same: tree down, site clean.</p>

</div><div class="faq-section"><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>What is the difference between tree felling and tree removal?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Tree felling means cutting the tree at the base and dropping it in a controlled direction. Tree removal covers the whole job — felling or sectional dismantling, chipping, and site cleanup. Felling is only used when there's enough clear space for the tree to fall safely.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>When is straight felling used instead of sectional dismantling?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Straight felling is used when there's sufficient clear space in a safe fall direction — typically in open properties, acreage, or rural blocks. In suburban settings with fences, buildings, or powerlines nearby, sectional dismantling (cutting from the top down in sections) is almost always used instead.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>How much does tree felling cost in Brisbane?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Straight felling is often cheaper than sectional dismantling because it's faster. Prices start from $199 for small trees. For medium trees expect $350–$700, and large trees $700–$1,600+. Stump grinding is usually quoted separately.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>Do I need a council permit to fell a tree?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes, if the tree is protected under Brisbane City Council's vegetation protection provisions. We check VPO status before scheduling any work — just send us the address and tree details.</p></div>
