Tree Surgery

Crown Reduction

This is the general reduction of the trees crown sides and top and involves cutting back to the growing point thus ensuring the continued health of your tree. This can be done for the purpose of allowing more light through or if the size of the tree has become a cause for concern regarding overhead cables etc. The tree will be left with a tidier and more compact shape.

Crown Thinning

Also known as “dead wooding”, this involves the removal of dead, dying or diseased branches which can allow more light through the canopy and improves the overall structure. This helps to ensure the continued health of your tree.

Tree Felling and Dismantling

A tree can be felled from the base if space allowed and can be done in a highly controlled and accurate manner. If this is not appropriate due to space restrictions the tree is dismantled in sections and lowered piece by piece to the ground.

Stump Grinding/Removal

We have specialist machinery that makes light work of removing tree stumps. If left in situ, stumps can attract unwanted fungi which can spread to your healthy trees. Tree stumps can also look unsightly and removal allows the area to be replanted, turfed etc.

We can remove stumps of all shapes and sizes, from Pampas Grass and the roots of a hedge through to enormous stumps.

Applications for Tree Work in Restricted Area

Sometimes there are restrictions on the type of tree and garden works that can be carried out such as Tree Preservation Orders. These are made my a local planning authority to protect a tree, group of trees, woodlands etc and prevent works being carried out without written consent. If you live in a Conservation area you will also need to apply to the local planning authority before the commencement of work. You can make these applications online yourself and a tree officer may need to visit in order to make an assessment and a decision as to whether to grant the works. However we are able to apply on your behalf if you require for a nominal fee which includes taking the application to appeal if necessary. You can check if there are any relevant tree restrictions at your property by contacting the planning department of your local council.
