Tree Care
Tree Pruning
This has two main benefits; firstly, pruning can help a tree to look more aesthetically pleasing, secondly, it can help to maintain and even improve the health of tree, leading to an environment that is safer for everybody.
Pollarding
Pollarding is a method of pruning where the branches are cut back to a selected point and on a regular basis, typically three to five years, the regrowth is removed again. This can create a dense fast growing foliage.
Crown Thinning
Multiple benefits of thinning the crown; by removing some of the smaller or tertiary branches, more light can travel through the tree, there will be less wind resistance and a reduction in weight.
Crown Reduction
The reduction in height and/or spread of the crown (the foliage bearing portions) of a tree. Crown reduction may be used to reduce mechanical stress on individual branches or the whole tree, make the tree more suited to its immediate environment or to reduce the effects of shading and light loss, etc.
Fruit Tree Pruning
We’re happy to take on pruning of fruit trees the way they should be prune to produce fruit and do this over a number of years to get unruly trees back in order.
Hedge Care
As well as trees, we are also capable of tackling the pruning and trimming of large hedges. Our mobile elevated work platforms means we can deal with even the largest of hedges.
All arisings are cleared from site with the use of wood chippers. Chippings may be left on site, at the client’s request, free of charge.
Tree Felling
Tree Felling
Tree Felling is done in one of two ways, whole or in pieces. When there is the space to fell a tree with no risk to property, a tree can felled quickly and safely whole and removed.
Precision Dismantling
Dismantling of a tree is usually the approach that we would take when there is less space to play with around the tree and felling may not be the best option. On the other hand, the tree could be dead, or just potentially hazardous.
All arisings are cleared from site with the use of wood chippers. Chippings may be left on site, at the client’s request, free of charge.
Stump Grinding
Stump Removal
After a tree has been removed/felled, the last thing to do to ensure it doesn’t grow back is to remove the stump left in the ground.
We can remove any number of stumps in one visit. We are happy to do this after we have removed/felled a tree or even as a stand-alone service for trees that have already been brought down by somebody else.
