A Small Example of the Work We Can Carry Out:
Crown Reduction:
The ends of all branches are reduced, in length, back to suitable ‘growth points’ (side branches). As a result the entire tree crown is reduced, in size and volume, whilst retaining the natural shape of the species. This procedure is usually stipulated in terms metres or as a percentage (rarely more than 30%).
Crown Thinning:
Branches are removed from within the tree crown in order to make it uniformly less dense. The natural shape of the tree is completely unaffected but the ‘Sail Effect’ (wind resistance) is reduced and more light allowed to filter through. This procedure is usually stipulated in terms of a percentage (rarely more than 30%).
Crown Lifting:
Increasing the gap between ground level and the crown. This is normally achieved by removing the lowest branches of the crown, to a specified height. This is often an easy way to let in more light to an area. It can also reduce the dominating effect that a big tree can be having in a space.
Felling:
Causing a tree to fall under control by carefully making a series of cuts at the base of the trunk.
Sectional Dismantle:
Carefully dismantling a tree in small sections. This operation is usually undertaken using heavy duty rigging equipment, lowering ropes and skilled branch removal techniques.
Dead Wooding:
The removal of dead or dying branches usually for safety and aesthetics reasons.
Hedge Cutting:
Hedges of various sizes can be topped and trimmed to your specific dimensions.
Veteran Tree Management:
Veteran trees are ancient specimens in the final stage of their life. Because of their old age they provide us with significant biological, aesthetic and cultural interest. The vitality of veteran trees is normally slowing and they are frequently in a dangerous condition. As a result the temptation is often to remove them. However, with careful planning and ongoing management we can help you safely preserve your old trees in an attractive state.
Formative Pruning:
The formation of a healthy stem and branch framework in very young trees. Achieved by carefully selecting and removing diseased wood, congested and rubbing branches and weak branch unions. Correct formative pruning can dramatically reduce the chances of disease, structural weakness and branch failure as the tree matures.
Tree Preservation Orders and working on trees within Conservation Areas:
We can give advice and guidance on what can be achieved and then, if you wish, we can work as an agent on your behalf to carry out applications to carry out work to trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders or that fall within Conservation Areas.
Japanese Knotweed removal:
Also know as Asian Knotweed. We can help to eradicate this invasive plant using a bespoke plan of phased treatments to suit your situation.
We also can arrange for stumps to be removed, for wood chip to be delivered and we have been known to rescue the odd cat from the odd tree. We can also deliver unprocessed fresh timber for firewood. The timber needs seasoning, cutting and splitting and is a fraction of the cost of buying it ready to burn, perhaps £40 to £80 per ton depending on the quality.
