TREE REMOVAL
Tree removal is typically a last resort for dead, hazardous, or oversized trees. Our skilled climbers use advanced rigging techniques to safely dismantle trees of any size, minimizing impact on the surroundings.
TREE PRUNING Crown Reduction, Thinning and Raising
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction reduces the height or spread of a tree's crown (the part that bears foliage) to relieve stress, improve its fit in the environment, or reduce shading. This technique preserves the tree's natural form while maintaining a balanced, smaller outline.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning involves removing smaller branches from the outer crown to improve light penetration, reduce wind resistance, and lighten the tree's load. It maintains the tree's size and shape, thinning up to 30% of the canopy without harming its health. This technique is often repeated for species prone to regrowth.
Crown Raising
Crown raising removes lower branches to improve clearance and light beneath the tree. For mature trees, it focuses on secondary branches or shortens primary ones to prevent large wounds and decay. This method enhances access and light transmission around the tree.
POLLARDING
Pollarding is a pruning technique used to keep trees and shrubs smaller than their natural size. It typically begins once the plant reaches a specific height, with annual pollarding maintaining the plant at that height.
DEADWOOD REMOVAL
Deadwood removal involves the careful removal of dead or dying branches from a tree to improve its health, safety, and appearance. This process helps reduce the risk of falling branches, prevents potential disease spread, and encourages healthy growth by allowing more light and airflow through the tree.
PEST AND DISEASE IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT
Our expert arborists are skilled in identifying a variety of tree pests and diseases, from common to complex issues. They provide tailored solutions to treat a number of infestations or pathogens, prevent further damage, and improve tree health
STUMP GRINDING
Tree stump removal is efficiently done using a stump grinder, which quickly grinds the stump down. The resulting grindings are back-filled into the hole to restore the surface, with any excess grindings removed if needed.
EMERGENCY CALLOUT FOR STORM DAMAGED OR UPROOTED TREES
Our emergency callout service is available for storm-damaged or uprooted trees, offering fast and reliable response when you need it most. We understand the urgency of tree-related hazards following severe weather, so our team is ready to quickly assess the situation and remove any fallen or unstable trees. Our goal is to ensure safety, minimize property damage, and address any immediate risks caused by damaged trees. We use specialized equipment and techniques to handle the job efficiently, allowing you to restore your property with minimal disruption.
HAZARDOUS TREE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Hazardous tree assessment and management involves evaluating trees for potential risks such as weak branches, disease, or structural instability. Our experts identify hazards and recommend appropriate actions, such as pruning, support, or removal, to prevent damage or injury. This proactive approach ensures the safety of your property and surrounding areas.
