Services
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction manages oversized tree canopies to prevent property damage and clear roadways. Our arborists prune branches back to growth points, maintaining balance and health while adhering to BS3998 standards. This service ensures structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, using ropes and slings to protect surrounding areas during branch removal.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting increases ground clearance by removing lower branches, enhancing pedestrian and vehicle access. We carefully select branches to avoid damaging the main stem, ensuring light penetration and view preservation. This service is ideal for trees obstructing buildings, pathways, or traffic.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning removes dense branches to improve light penetration and air circulation. Our surgeons selectively prune dead or crossing branches, reducing canopy density by no more than 30% to maintain tree health and structural stability while enhancing surrounding plant growth.
Straight Felling
Straight felling safely removes trees in open spaces using directional cuts. Our team assesses hazards, establishes retreat paths, and creates controlled hinge cuts to ensure safe falling. This method leaves stumps at ground level, minimising post-removal disruption.
Tree Stump Removal
Stump removal uses specialist grinders to eliminate regrowth risks and prepare land for replanting. We grind stumps and major roots with minimal ground disturbance, avoiding damage to utilities. This service ensures complete removal for turfing, paving, or landscaping purposes.
