Tree Removal - Felling and Sectional Dismantled

Removal of trees safely and without causing damage is crucial to this operation. If space allows, we will fell your tree into a predetermined area from the ground using exact directional cutting. However, if your tree requires to be taken apart bit by bit, we will climb the tree with rope and harness and use lowering equipment to bring branches down in a controlled manner.

Tree Pruning - Reduction, Thinning, Shaping and Crown Raising

Pruning is a skilled operation that requires a good eye and a touch of finesse.

Reduction 

This is a method of pruning large canopied trees that are growing in confined spaces. Reduction of the branches will lessen the chance of a branch or a whole tree ‘failure’. This is tree surgery at its best. We will not ‘top’ or ‘lop’ your tree.

Thinning 

This is the removal of selective branches retaining the trees main branch structure whilst letting in more light and air, improving the overall vigour of the tree.

Shaping 

This process removes wayward branches and brings your tree back to its natural form.

Crown Raising 

This lifts the canopy of your tree removing lower branches to the desired clearance height.

Hedges - Trimming, Cutting and Reducing

Hedges require cutting at least once a year to maintain vigour and shape. Hedges, whether formal, shaped or simply for privacy can offer great benefits to your garden and wildlife. We can lower heights and trim the face giving your hedge a new lease of life.
