Trees can be seriously damaged or even killed by wrong pruning. Sensitive pruning, however, will enhance your trees. We practice all modern methods of tree care. All our tree services adhere to British Standards 3998, and are carried out to the highest standards by qualified staff.
Crown Raising is the complete removal of the lowermost limbs to a specified height. This often used to provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles. It is also an effective way to increase light in your garden.
Crown Reduction is the reduction of the outline of the tree by shortening limbs. Most species of trees will only tolerate up to 30% crown reduction, though 20-25% usually gives a much better looking result.
Pollarding is a severe form of crown reduction involving the removal of all the branches leaving just the trunk. This can be used on a tree that has previously been pollarded or a tree showing signs of decay, to encourage new healthy growth and prolong the life of the tree.
Crown Thinning is the selective removal of whole or parts of limbs to achieve a reduction of weight or allow the passage of more light
Deadwooding is the removal of dead wood of diameter greater than 4cms (1.5ins) approximately.
Cleaning out is the general tidying up of the trees canopy involving the removal of dead wood, damaged, diseased and crossing branches, and ivy stripping.
Section Felling is the felling of a tree in sections rather than in one piece due to restricted space. We have the latest rigging equipment and training to ensure you get the very best and safest sectional fell.
Wound Treatment: in line with current Forestry Commission research and recommendations no wound dressing will be used unless specified by the customer for cosmetic reasons.
Stumps will be cut to within 5cms (2ins) of the highest surrounding soil level unless otherwise specified.
Stump Grinding We need a minimum access to the stumps of 35 inches.
Hedge Trimming A yearly trim to maintain hedge size
and shape and encouraging regrowth to thicken up the hedge.
We can also reduce the height of a hedge by up to 30%.
Planting We can supply and plant a wide range of trees, shrubs, and hedges. Large specimens always available.
Mulching We supply woodchip mulch which is spread on the ground to suppress weeds, to protect plant roots from heat, cold or dry conditions and slow down the water loss rate.
Brushwood is branchwood less than 6.5cms (2.25ins) diameter aprox.
Cordwood is timber between 6.5cms (2«ins) and 25cms (10ins)diameter approximately. Cordwood will normally be cut toapproximately 1m 20cms (4 ft) lengths. Cutting to shorter lengths suitable for firewood will be charged extra. A "cord" is a stack of cordwood approximately 8 x 4 x 4 feet.
Rings are timber over 25cms (10in) diameter cut across the grain to a specified length but not split unless specifically quoted for.
Stacked on site means at base of tree unless otherwise specified.
Removed from site All arisings are usually removed from site unless otherwise stated. We pride ourselves in leaving a clean and tidy site.
It is normal policy to produce estimates and quotations, on supply of suitable specifications, at no charge.
Please make payment for work done strictly nett within 7 days of completion.
