Tree felling is the process of cutting down a tree, typically when it is deemed to be hazardous, diseased, or no longer viable for retention.

The process involves a careful assessment of the tree’s structure, surrounding environment, and potential risks to ensure that the tree is safely and efficiently felled in the desired direction. Our experienced arborists use specialised equipment and techniques to control the fall of the tree, minimising damage to nearby structures, other vegetation, or property. After felling, the tree may be processed into logs, chipped for mulch, or stump grinding can be carried out to remove the remaining stump.

Tree reduction is a pruning technique used to reduce the size of a tree’s canopy, by shortening branches or cutting back the tree's overall height. This process helps manage the tree's growth, improve its shape, and reduce the weight on branches that could otherwise become a hazard. Tree reduction is often necessary for trees that have outgrown their location or pose risks to surrounding structures, power lines, or other trees. It can also improve the tree's structural integrity by removing overextended or weak branches.

When completed by our experienced arborist, tree reduction will help to ensure that the tree remains healthy, balanced, and able to continue growing in a safe and controlled manner.

Grinding stumps with specialist equipment to remove a tree stump to below ground level. This process is carried out after tree felling for a variety of reasons, including prevention of trip hazards, creating new spaces and aiding with root decomposition.

Wood chipping is the process of shredding tree branches, logs, and other woody materials into small, uniform pieces known as wood chips. We carry this out using a wood chipper, a powerful machine designed to handle various sizes of branches and trunks.

Wood chipping helps reduce waste from tree maintenance, providing an eco-friendly solution for repurposing the material.

The resulting wood chips can be used for a variety of purposes, including mulching, landscaping and composting. Additionally, wood chips can help improve soil health by retaining moisture and suppressing weed growth when used as mulch.

Crown lifting is a tree maintenance technique that involves removing the lower branches of a tree to raise the height of its canopy. This process helps improve clearance for pedestrian walkways, vehicles, buildings, or other structures beneath the tree. Crown lifting also enhances light penetration and airflow around the tree, which can be beneficial for both the tree itself and the surrounding vegetation. By selectively pruning lower branches, our arborists ensure the tree maintains a balanced structure while reducing the risk of branch damage or obstruction.

This procedure is typically performed on mature trees to improve their appearance and safety, while preserving their overall health and growth potential.

Deadwooding is the process of removing dead, diseased, or dying branches from a tree to improve its health, appearance, and safety. These dead branches can pose a risk of falling, potentially causing damage to property or injury to people. By removing them, our arborists help reduce this risk while also promoting better airflow and light penetration to the tree's canopy. Deadwooding also helps prevent the spread of disease and pests that may be attracted to decaying wood.  

This routine maintenance ensures the tree remains strong and structurally sound, contributing to its long-term health and vitality.

Vegetation clearance is the process of removing unwanted or overgrown vegetation from an area to improve accessibility, control invasive species, or prepare land.

It typically involves cutting, uprooting, or mowing and strimming plants such as weeds, shrubs, and grasses. The aim is to reduce plant density, enhance soil quality, or make space for construction, landscaping, or other land management activities. Vegetation clearance is often a necessary step in maintaining safe and usable spaces, especially in areas where vegetation may obstruct pathways, block views, or pose a fire hazard.

Care must be taken to avoid disturbing wildlife habitats, clearance is done with consideration for environmental sustainability to prevent long-term damage to ecosystems.
