Services
Tree Surgery
Our tree surgery services encompass crown reduction, pollarding, and hazardous branch removal using advanced climbing techniques. We prioritise tree health while maintaining structural integrity, working strictly to British Standards BS3998. Clients benefit from precise pruning that enhances tree longevity and property safety.
Stump Grinding
Professional stump grinding removes unsightly tree remnants to 300mm below ground level. We use specialist machinery for complete root system clearance, enabling site redevelopment or lawn restoration. Our process includes debris removal and soil replacement for immediate landscaping use.
Forestry Management
Comprehensive woodland management covering coppicing, selective felling, and habitat conservation. We create sustainable management plans for estates and local authorities, balancing timber production with ecological preservation. Services include drainage maintenance and deer population control.
Tree Planting
Expert tree planting services for specimen trees and woodland schemes. We advise on species selection based on soil conditions and provide full aftercare. Our team ensures proper planting techniques with sub-surface irrigation systems and protective staking arrangements.
Timber Milling
On-site timber milling converts felled trees into usable hardwood products. Using our Rimu portable sawmill, we produce custom beams, flooring, and furniture-grade timber. Clients receive high-quality reclaimed wood products with full traceability from source trees.
