Tree Felling
Safe and precise tree felling for hazardous or large-scale projects. Our NPTC-qualified team conducts thorough risk assessments, using sectional dismantling in confined spaces to protect property and ensure controlled removal. We serve residential and commercial clients across Suffolk and surrounding regions, prioritising safety and efficiency.
Stump Removal
Efficient stump removal using high-spec machinery. Options include stump grinding for minimal disruption, hand tool removal for small stumps, and complete root extraction for construction projects. We leave sites clean and offer mulch recycling or topsoil replacement, serving East Anglia and nearby areas.
PiCUS Testing
Non-invasive sonic tomography to assess internal tree decay. Using the PiCUS 2 Sonic Tomograph, we provide detailed health reports for informed decisions on tree retention or removal. This service is ideal for protected trees, veteran specimens, and safety-critical assessments in Suffolk and beyond.
Pollarding
Traditional pruning to control tree size and promote healthy regrowth. We specialise in pollarding willow, poplar, lime, and plane trees, offering scheduled maintenance to prevent structural issues. This method extends tree lifespan while maintaining aesthetic and functional benefits in urban environments.
Site Clearance
Comprehensive site clearance for development projects. Our services include tree and hedge removal, scrub clearance, and debris management, using specialist machinery for efficiency. Accredited by CHAS and trusted by major contractors, we ensure timely, safe preparation of sites across East Anglia.
