This term refers to the removal of smaller branches, usually located at the outer crown of the tree. Pruning these promotes dense foliage around the evenly spaced branch structure. Crown thinning is mainly used on broad-leaved species of trees. It’s a method that does not in any way alter the main body of the tree, in terms of size or shape. Crown thinning allows more sunlight to pass through the tree’s branches and improves the airflow.

Crown reduction refers to the reduction of the tree crown’s height and spread. The cuts used in crown reduction should be as small as possible and not go over 100 mm in diameter. This method is used for reducing the mechanical stress on certain branches or even the whole tree, in some cases. It’s also useful for reducing the effects of light loss and shading. After the crown reduction, the tree’s crown should retain its main framework with the only difference being the smaller yet similar outline (which can in cases be non-symmetrical).

Crown raising is the practice of removing or preparing to remove the lowest branches of a tree’s crown. This method is extremely effective at increasing the light transmission to areas close to the tree, while also enabling access under the crown. Crown lifting does not include the removal of the larger branches which grow directly from the tree’s trunk since cutting these can wound the tree and even cause decay. This can lead to many long-term problems for your tree in the future. Crown raising should also be avoided on older more mature trees or if necessary, it should be restricted to the shortening of their primary and secondary branches rather than their whole removal.

A procedure to inspect a tree or trees. Variables used to describe a tree include position (if not already plotted on a topographical survey), species identity, maturity, various dimensions (main stem diameter, height, crown radius etc.), aspects of form, vigour, condition, incidence of pests, diseases, damage and defects, evidence of past management etc. Site factors, position in the landscape and site usage may also be relevant. , usually including its position, species identity, dimensions, age class, condition, conservation value etc. as appropriate, and to identify and evaluate defects. It is also common to make management recommendations (see schedule of works). Tree inspection is a fundamental of tree management and advisory practice in arboriculture.

The removal of major dead/dying and diseased branches. 

This is the removal of the whole tree, We tend not to enjoy removing trees but when it has to happen you can leave it to us to do it promptly and safely. We are very skilled when it comes to working with trees in tight areas which require rigging down by ropes or the use of cranes for a more efficient way.

Stump grinding is an intricate process that excavates the stump of the tree without removing the root. In this situation, a stump grinder is employed to mechanically grind out the stump, leaving fine sawdust as a residue.

Milling your timber that you have on your property so you could make something personal for your property out of it. You could also use the slabs of this to pay towards to work carried out.

We are also offering bespoke furniture making.
