Tree Surgery

From removing a whole tree piece by piece to thinning a crown or grinding out a stump, we have the trained, insured team and our own equipment to do it safely.

Tree Dismantling

There comes a time when a tree has to be removed. Quite often it is in a spot that needs careful work because space is tight.

With all the equipment we have, we can take a tree down piece by piece if needed. Even where access is difficult we will try to find a solution. All wood and branches are removed, leaving a clear site.

Dead Wooding

Removing dead wood and branches helps a tree grow better and look better, and it is also safer. Storms can break off dead wood, causing injury and damage that could easily have been prevented.

Taking out dead wood lowers the tree’s resistance to wind and lets the wind flow through it, making damage to the tree, or from falling branches, less likely. We use ladders, ropes or the cherry picker to get up high, depending on the job and the access available.

Crown Thinning, Reduction & Lifting

Getting to the tops of trees needs the right equipment and training. We own our own mobile platforms and our staff are fully trained and insured.

  • Crown thinning removes some of the branches without changing the size or shape of the tree.
  • Crown reduction shortens the branches, which changes the size and shape of the tree.
  • Crown lifting removes lower branches to make space under the canopy for paths, drives and buildings.
  • Less foliage lets more light through to the ground and into nearby buildings.

Storm Clearance

Trees come down, especially if they haven’t been looked after. In a garden they are usually much larger than the average gardener can deal with.

We have all the equipment needed to cut everything up and get it out of the way, including grinding out or digging out the stump. If there is an insurance claim, we will provide the paperwork you need to get it settled efficiently.

Stump Grinding

Grinding a stump out is quicker than digging it out and causes much less ground disturbance. There’s no large hole needed to remove enough of the stump to stop it regrowing, and the ground can easily be replanted.

We have our own Vermeer stump grinder, so there is no need to hire in equipment.

Winching

Our vehicles carry winches to pull branches and trees in the right direction when felling, and to extract large pieces of tree when needed.

They also help us move big sections of trunk from awkward spots to somewhere more suitable.
