Tree Removal
Sectional felling involves complete tree removal down to ground level, carefully lowering branches to prevent property damage. Stumps are left close to ground level but above soil. Our team uses specialized equipment to ensure safe removal of hazardous or dying trees while preserving surrounding landscapes. This service requires 26-inch access clearance for stump grinding machinery.
Stump Grinding
Professional stump removal using industrial grinders to eliminate stumps below ground level. We require 26-inch clearance for machinery access and typically grind stumps to 9 inches depth. Resulting wood debris can be left as mulch or removed. This service prevents regrowth and improves site aesthetics while maintaining soil integrity.
Crown Reduction
Precision crown reduction decreases tree height and spread by removing branch ends while maintaining structural integrity. This reduces mechanical stress, improves light penetration, and adapts trees to their environment. We preserve the tree's natural form while addressing shading issues, ensuring long-term health through measured pruning techniques.
Crown Thinning
Selective branch removal within the crown to reduce density without altering tree shape. This improves light transmission, reduces wind resistance, and enhances tree form. The process includes crown cleaning while maintaining leaf-bearing structure, creating healthier trees with improved structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Pollarding
Traditional pollarding removes branches from trunks to create pollard heads, requiring annual maintenance. This technique controls tree size while promoting dense foliage growth. We specialize in proper pollarding techniques that avoid damaging mature trees, ensuring long-term health through regular pruning cycles while maintaining structural integrity.
Questions
When is the best time to prune different tree species?
Most trees can be pruned year-round, but species like cherry and plum should be pruned after flowering. Maple and birch avoid spring pruning, while magnolia and walnut require high summer pruning.
Do you handle tree preservation order applications?
Yes, we submit TPO applications on your behalf at no extra cost, typically processed within 8-10 weeks with regular progress updates.
What insurance coverage do you provide?
We maintain 10 million Public Liability and 10 million Employers Liability insurance, with all staff holding relevant NPTC qualifications.
How do TPOs differ from conservation area regulations?
TPOs require specific approval for individual trees, while conservation area trees need six-week notice periods before works can proceed without objection.
Do you perform risk assessments for all jobs?
Yes, we conduct comprehensive risk assessments for every project and are CHAS-accredited for health and safety excellence.
