-
CROWN THINNING AND REDUCTION
- Our arborist will remove a selected proportion of secondary and small branch growth throughout the crown, doing so will result in an even density of foliage, balance the tree, allow more light to pass through as well as ease wind resistance. Pruning this way can also be remedial work for the long-term health of more mature trees.
-
CROWN LIFTING
Removal of low hanging, weak or dead branches that are too close to roads or buildings is essential for health and safety reasons, therefore raising the crown will allow access underneath the tree of which were previously hazardous or restricted; it is also an effective way of increasing light to areas close to the tree.
-
POLLARDING
Pruning the upper branches of a tree looks severe, however, it is rejuvenating and encourages vigorous, dense growth and can prolong the trees life. Usually we pollard the majority of trees between late winter and early spring.
-
FELLING
- Our arborists will evaluate the risks of each tree on its own merit before commencing any felling operations, with an emphasis on safety, particularly minimising the risk to the property, its surroundings, and the environment.
-
BASIC HEALTH AND SAFETY TREE SURVEY
Our health and safety survey is observed from the ground, the trees will be assessed to identify potential hazards, diseases and defects these will be documented in a ‘negative tree report’ – we look for the following:
-
-
-
-
- Fungi on the tree or base
- Branch union
- Cavities
- Storm or wind damage
- Cross branches
- Balance of the tree
- Raised roots
- Deadwood

STUMP REMOVAL
- Most often a stump is removed if its in the way of plants, building works, house extensions, fencing works, etc or if for aesthetic reasons you wish for it to be cleared.
