Our range of services

Reduction
This reduces the size of a tree, as a rule by a maximum of 30%. It will let in light and wind pass through along with improving the overall appearance.

Crown thinning
Increases the light and reduces the wind resistance by selective removal of branches throughout the canopy of the tree. This is a common practice which improves the tree’s strength against adverse weather conditions as the wind can pass through the tree resulting in less “load” being placed on the tree.

Crown lifting
Crown lifting involves the removal of the lower branches to a given height. The height is achieved by the removal of whole branches or removing the parts of the branches which extend below the desired height. The branches are normally not lifted to more than one third of the tree’s total height.

Directional or Formative pruning
Removal of the appropriate branches to make the tree structurally. 

Vista pruning
Selectively pruning a window of view in a tree.

Pollarding
Pollarding is a pruning system in which the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches.

Dead-wooding
Branches die off for a number of reasons ranging from light deficiency, pests and disease damage to root damage. A dead branch will at some point decay back to the parent stem causing an abscission and fall off. This is normally a slow process but can be shortened by high winds and extremities of temperature. Therefore the main reason dead-wooding is carried out is safety.

Felling
To take a tree down to a stump, either taken down in sections or felled as one piece.


Hedge trimming
We can cater for all levels of hedge care including a light trim or a major height reduction.


Stump poisoning
We can poison any size stump. The product that we use can only be obtained and applied by trained members of staff.


Stump removal
We can grind out any size stump and roots up to 1ft deep (as long as we can get access to it with our machine). This is a specialised machine. When the stump is ground you can re-plant or turf over etc in place of the original tree.


Site clearance
We can bring any site to ground level including brush cutting large areas of bramble etc.


Tree planting
We can plant almost any tree using our trade supplier including all sundries.

Topping
Topping is a very severe form of pruning which involves removing all the branches and growths down to a few large branches or to the trunk of the tree.
