Do I need a tree surgeon?
Here are some common reasons to call in experts in tree work.
Dead wooding
As trees mature, deadwood accumulates from broken branches and die back. Dead wooding is used to make the tree safer. It promotes health, encourages growth and also improves the look of the tree.
Crown reductions, raising and thinning
These are all techniques to reduce size and density of the tree crown reducing the weight of the limbs making tree more stable in high winds, and enhancing light around tree. In the case of fruit trees this will allow for light and space between branches making it easier to pick fruit.
Felling and dismantling
Sectional: To remove tree(s) in restricted space, small sections are cut and the tree is carefully dismantled to reduce risk of damage to any structures (patios, pavements, drives, plants etc.) We use ropes, rigging and cranes to ensure controlled and safe lowering of timber to the ground.
Straight: To fell tree in one, where space is plentiful and no structures present. We use ropes, rigging and wedges for safety and to control the fall.
Stump grinding
Tree stumps can be trip hazards and unsightly. We can grind the stump down below ground level making the are safe or to allow for re-turfing lawn, fence, driveways etc.
Shaping and pruning
All small trees and shrubs can be reduced in size as appropriate. We can prune trees creating symmetry and balance making them more pleasing to the eye.
