Tree Felling
Tree felling is the cutting down of a tree. This could be needed for a number of reasons such as land clearing, safety concerns, or due to disease. As professional tree fellers, we have the skill set to carry this work out whilst avoiding injury, property damage, and without damaging surrounding trees. We use a range of methods to ensure safe and efficient tree removal.
Generally felling a tree is a last resort unless absolutely necessary as our main priority is to maintain and protect as much as possible. We will carry out an assessment to ensure this is the correct course of action.
Tree Care Our team undertakes a huge number of tree care jobs including anything from pruning and pollarding, to hedge maintenance and hedge trimming. Deadwood removal is a key part of tree care. Trees are living organisms that can shed branches throughout their life. This isn’t just an eyesore but can also pose a real risk to peoples safety. As a result, we can identify and damaged or dead branches on your trees and remove them, eliminating the risk of them falling in strong winds and storms.
Stump Grinding After removing a tree or large hedge, stumps can be a trip hazard, as well as being unsightly. Not only this, but some species of trees and hedges will actually begin to regrow if the stump and roots remain. We have the specialized equipment and knowledge to remove these stumps by grinding them below ground level quickly and easily.
Hedge Trimming and Maintenance It is important to keep hedges regularly trimmed and pruned to keep your desired shape and size. With regular maintenance of your hedges, it will encourage dense, even growth throughout the hedge as well as keeping them looking their best throughout the year.
Garden Clearance Over recent years we have begun taking on garden clearance jobs. This can include things such as ivy removal, hedge removal, turfing, grass cutting or the complete clearance of an overgrown and out of control area. We carry the appropriate waste licenses to be able to clear gardens, remove and dispose of the waste through different environmentally friendly ways. For example, any green waste is composted, and any chipped waste is sent to the national grid to be used to create power.
Emergency Work Our services are available 24/7 for any emergency work that is causing a significant risk to public safety. Previously we have worked on storm damaged trees that have landed on cars, blocked roads and even fallen through house roofs. Our experienced team are able to handle urgent situations, clear debris, assess damage and complete the work to restore safety to the area.
