Some trees cannot be pollarded. This involves the removal of all live growth to main branch “stubs” or main stem (In some cases and on some trees this can cause branch failure or even death of the tree – the applicability is always discussed before any work is undertaken)

Some (but not all) trees can be reduced in spread and height while retaining a natural tree shape by crown reduction and/or reshaping. This is carried out by expertly pruning back to a suitable point – side bud or branch – to retain a naturally-shaped crown.

This involves removing a proportion of secondary and small, live branch growth throughout the crown to produce foliage evenly around a well-spaced and balanced crown structure.

This involves removing lower branches to a given height above ground level.

The stump and main roots may be removed by grinding or digging often using a stump grinder (to a specified depth).

We trim large and small hedges. We appreciate that it is important to have your garden looking neat and tidy. We also prune fruit trees, roses and other climbing plants by hand to ensure correct pruning.

With our log splitter we can split your felled wood on site.

Branch debris can be processed into wood chip to be recycled, or wood can be stacked for habitat, left for firewood or removed from site leaving your property clean and tidy.

Over time inspection of your trees may be advisable for safety reasons, possibly where an area is open to the public or where young children are present, or to check on current condition and identify possible future problems. These are best identified and addressed at an early stage.
