Crown Reductions & Re-shapes

Our crown reduction service involves reducing a tree's canopy by a set percentage (e.g. 30%) to achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape. This method provides benefits such as increased light, reduced windsail risk, and rejuvenation for the tree.

Tree Felling (Straight and Section)

We offer two tree felling techniques - straight felling (when space allows) and section felling (for tight or confined spaces). This service ensures safe and efficient removal of trees without causing damage to the surrounding environment.

Planting (Trees, Shrubs, and Hedging)

Our team can supply and plant a variety of trees, shrubs, and hedging, offering expert advice on species selection based on location.

Dead-Wooding

Dead-wooding is the removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches to enhance safety, particularly for trees in public areas. This method prevents potential hazards stemming from weak branches susceptible to falling.

Tree Maintenance

Our tree maintenance service follows a 3-5 year schedule, encompassing reduction, lifting, and dead-wooding. We cater to the unique needs of specific tree species and locations, ensuring safety and growth containment.

Commercial Services

We are experienced in providing commercial tree surgery services to businesses, with 11 years of proven partnerships. We deliver risk assessments, method statements, and required documentation upon request.

Thinning and Lifting

Thinning involves evenly removing sub-branches to increase light while preserving the tree's shape and size. Lifting raises the canopy by removing lower branches, ensuring uniform height or access clearance requirements.

Pollarding, Stump Grinding, and Hedge Maintenance

Pollarding removes all branches, leaving only the main trunk. Stump grinding eliminates tree stumps by grinding them below ground level. Hedge maintenance includes trimming, shaping, and general care for healthy and attractive hedges.

Emergency Call-Outs

We provide emergency call-out services for urgent issues, ensuring prompt and professional attention when needed most.
