Tree Surveys and Inspections
- Advising on cultural requirements, siting, and selecting trees for various soils, conditions, situations, and visual qualities.
- Recognising signs and danger symptoms in trees, and recommending appropriate treatments.
- Advising on lifting, packing, moving, transplanting, and maintaining transplanted trees.
- Identifying and controlling treatment of pests, diseases, and other troubles affecting trees.
- Advising on the possible effect of trees on structures.
- Estimating and costing tree work operations. Preparing contract specifications and supervising contracts.
- The appropriate application and administration of tree preservation legislation: making Tree Preservation Orders (TPO’s), considering applications to work on trees protected by TPO’s or trees protected by virtue of being within a Conservation Area, reviewing and revoking TPO’s, providing evidence for prosecutions where protected trees are unlawfully pruned, damaged or destroyed.
Formative Pruning and Pollarding
- Formative Pruning is the pruning of young and newly planted trees to remove any defects, deadwood etc. which will encourage the tree to grow with a sound structure.
- Pollarding is the removal of all branches leaving just the trunk which is used as a last resort for a damaged tree or to reduce the uptake of water, in some cases.
Felling and Stump Removal
- The complete removal of a dead or deceased trees to prevent other trees on the surrounding area being infected.
- Tree felling to avoid trees falling onto houses, cars or causing other dangerous situations.
- Safe, clean and environmentally friendly removal of tree stumps.
- Professional climbing team and advanced rigging equipment and techniques.
- Crane Work - enabling the safe removal of otherwise dangerous trees.
Tree Crown Work
- Crown Lifting is the selective removal of the lower branches of a trees crown. This is done to allow light through and to prevent the tree being damaged from passing vehicles or to reduce the temptation for tree climbing.
- Crown Thinning is the selective removal of internal branches evenly throughout the tree. An effective method of allowing light to travel through the crown and reducing the wind resistance of the tree without altering its shape.
- Crown Reduction is the overall reduction of the size of the canopy acheived by removing the ends of branches evenly throughout the crown, leaving a balanced shape. This technique is used for many reasons such as to reduce wind resistance and water up-take or to control the size of a tree in a restricted environment.
