Dead wood removing

As a tree grows it is natural for some branches to die back. Branches that do not produce enough carbohydrates from photosynthesis to sustain themselves die and are eventually shed, however for safety reasons it is advisable to have your tree regularly inspected and cleared of any deadwood.

Branch and Limb removal

Sometimes it is necessary to remove certain branches of a trees crown, without fully reducing, thinning or lifting the crown. For example If a large branch or number of branches have travelled over a neighbouring boundary, it may be required that they be removed. This process generally involves removing as little live growth as possible to ensure the health and stability of the tree.

Crown reduction

This process involves reducing the size of the trees’ overall canopy. This is achieved by pruning the branches evenly throughout the crown. During this process dangerous deadwood and crossing branches are removed or pruned to minimize the possibility of pathogens and disease infecting the tree.

Crown thinning

Crown Thinning involves the selective removal of inner branches evenly throughout the trees crown. This is an effective method of allowing light to travel through the crown and allows air to circulate more effectively throughout the canopy without altering the trees’ natural shape. As with Crown Reduction, all dangerous dead wood and crossing branches are removed during this operation.

Crown lifting

As the process suggests, Crown lifting is the removal of selected branches and limbs from the lower part of the trees crown, thus lifting the crown’s overall height. Depending on the location of the tree, this process is generally performed to ensure vehicles and people can pass safely underneath avoiding accidents and injury. This process also assists in allowing more light to penetrate through the lower crown

Felling

Ocassionaly a tree will need to be removed completely, this can be for a number of reasons. In the interests of conservation a diseased tree may have to be removed to ensure neighbouring trees do not also become infected. Other reasons to fell a tree will include safety (to people and property) i.e if a tree is in a state of decay or in a weakend condition, or if the tree is in an unsuitable area affecting planning applications and construction projects. Felling a large tree in a restricted area will normally require the tree to be climbed and dismantled in sections. Other times when space, safety and the trees form and allows, a tree may be felled in the traditional forestry sense of the term, by bringing the tree to ground using practiced methods to ensure a safe, controlled and calculated fell

Hedge trimming

Many gardens feature a hedgeline of some description they provide privacy and security. Hedge trimming ensures the hedge remains neat, tidy and an attractive feature of your garden. Doing this regularly trains the hedge to look tight and full and can avoid the need to cut back heavily. If left neglected, cutting back heavily can result in a bare and unpleasant looking hedgeline which may take some time to fully recover. Hedge trimming may also include the reduction in hedge height if required
