About Us
This will give you an idea of the type of work that I can
undertake for you, but the list is not exhaustive, so if you can’t see
exactly what you think you need then please give me a call.
Pruning established trees
- you may want to tidy up the ‘look’ of your trees (pruning is
typically used for fruit trees)
Crown reduction / thinning
- to let more light into your garden or home, by taking selective
branches out of the top of the tree while maintaining the shape of the
tree
Crown raising - this would remove the lower branches of the tree. For
example, you may not be able to get under a tree to mow the lawn, this
would remove those low branches and make your garden space more usable
Pruning overhanging /
dangerous branches - there may be branches overhanging
your neighbour's garden, or branches that have become too heavy or
damaged and are at risk of breaking off (which could be dangerous to
anyone underneath and could also damage the health of the tree)
Dead wooding
- removal of dead branches to reduce the risk of branches falling, and
prevent decay progressing further into the tree
Tree felling
- when you want to completely remove a tree, for example, if it’s in
the wrong position or has grown too big for it’s environment
Tree dismantling
- when you want a tree to be removed completely, but it’s in a confined
space which would mean that ‘felling’ was not a safe option
Removal of hazardous trees - a risk assessment may be required depending upon the location of the tree, to ensure that a safe removal can be achieved and that the appropriate safety measures are taken
Stump grinding
- this is the removal of the root ball. The root ball is what
is left in the ground once a tree has been felled or dismantled
Tree planting - you may want to plant a new tree, to replace one that has had to be removed
Hedge trimming - keeping hedges under control (typically conifer hedges). This can be either reducing the height of the hedge, or reshaping the hedge. If this is undertaken on a regular basis - once a year is usually sufficient - you will stop the hedge from becoming too wide or tall
