Pruning is the removal of diseased or dangerous branches from the crown. Larger dead branches are safely retained by reducing their length and weight, providing a habitat for animals such as birds or insects.

This is the removal of dead, dying and dangerous branches from the crown. This method is good for the health of the tree and also is a safety aspect in public areas and private gardens. Larger dead branches can be safely retained (in order to provide a habitat for birds and insects) by reducing their length and weight.

Crown thinning involves the removal of a proportion of the trees internal and external crown to allow more light and air through the canopy. 10% – 30% is the standard amount to be removed as this allows the tree to maintain a healthy balance.

Crown reduction reduces the overall size, shape and volume of a tree by careful pruning techniques. Crown reductions are specified as a percentage. 25-30% is the standard reduction but we can always tailor your specific needs as appropriate to the trees in question.

Crown Lifting is the process of removing lower limbs of the tree to allow sunlight to filter beneath and maintain a legal safe height over footpaths and roads.

Involves removing a percentage (normally between 25% and 40%) of the crown of a semi-mature tree. The re-growth is then removed at regular intervals to restrict both the height and spread of the tree.

The removal of a tree is sometimes necessary where there are structural or planning issues, also if it is diseased or dead and dangerous. In large open spaces this can be achieved by the directional felling of the entire tree. In confined areas the tree is dismantled.

This method of tree removal is used where there is limited space. The crown would be removed a limb at a time using ropes and lowering equipment. Once the crown has been removed, the trunk is dismantled using ropes and rigging equipment.

The removal of a stump is required when it is an obstacle for building works, fence line or for replanting. We can provide narrow access stump grinding.
