Tree felling, tree cutting and tree removal

We can fell and remove trees with no damage to the surrounding area. For all those trees in tricky areas such as hanging over a road or in-between two houses we can safely remove them with little disturbance. All arisings can be removed off site for recycling.

Crown reductions

The size of a tree can be reduced while maintaining the shape of a natural shape of a tree. All pruning is carried out the highest standard incorporating Alex Shigos CODIT theory. Trees that are out of shape can be pruned into a better shape, limbs can be reduced away from the side of a house or off a road for example. Crown reductions can be done for amenity reasons or safety reasons to prevent a tree from failing or wind throw.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is where some of the branches from within the crown are removed. This can be to allow more light into a shady back garden or to remove untidy branches. It can also be used to reduce the sale area of a tree to reduce the chances of it failing.

Crown Raising

This is when the lower limbs of a tree are removed. This could be for aesthetic reasons or to allow more light into an area or possibly because you want to be able to get under the tree with a lawnmower.

Pollarding

Pollarding is a fairly old technique originating from timber production. This should be avoided bus sometimes is the only possibility; for example on previously pollarded trees or where large amounts of the tree have to be removed and there is no other option. This is common on willow trees near streams and rivers.

Dead Wooding

This is where the dead wood from a tree is removed. This is generally done for safty reasons but is also done for amenity purposes. On some old trees where it is safe to do so the dead wood should be left due to its habitat value.

Hedge and Conifer Reductions

This involves reducing the height of a hedge by a specific measurement or percentage. Large conifers can be topped where a hedge has been allowed to grow too high.
