Pruning:

We can help determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. Specific types of pruning may be necessary to maintain a mature tree in a healthy, safe, and attractive condition.

• Crown cleaning is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
• Crown thinning is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air circulation. Without removing heavy limbs and without compromising the tree’s natural shape.
• Crown lifting removes the lower branches from a tree in order to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians.
• Crown reduction is reducing the height and/or spread of the tree. We use our knowledge and experience to prune the tree to maintain its form and structural integrity (leaving the tree looking like a tree)

Removal:

Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. We can help decide whether or not a tree should be removed and have the skills and equipment for safe and efficient dismantling.

Removal is recommented when...

• The tree is dead or dying.
• The tree is considered irreparably hazardous.
• The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning
• The tree is crowding and causing damage to other trees.
• The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen.
• The tree must be removed to allow for new construction.
• Stump Removal: Should you require removal of the stump to stop unwanted regrowth or to re- plant in the same area, we can offer the removal of any size stump.

Emergency Tree Surgery:

Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fail, often landing on homes, cars, other structures, or other trees. The weight of storm-damaged trees is great and they can be very dangerous to remove or prune. We can assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing further risk of damage to your property.

Waste Disposal:

The days of burning waste wood have gone due to legislation and health & safety regulations in urban areas. Removal of waste to landfill sites is expensive and an improper use of our land resources.

Therefore all waste wood is chipped on site using our Forst TR6 tracked diesel woodchipper. We insist on using only the best woodchippers, which helps us remain quick and efficient, yet the machine is compact enough to get access to most properties. Using cared for machinery reduces the possibility of breakdowns and wasted time.

Our woodchipper can access most garden gateways so to reduce time spent on the job and saving the client money.

Our woodchipper can produce varying sizes of woodchip, making it an environmentally sound option for play areas; paths; borders and equestrian use.

NB Use on public playgrounds is restricted and may require a British Standard product.
