Services
Tree Surgery
Our professionally trained arborists perform complete tree removals and selective pruning following BS 3998:2010 standards. We specialise in challenging sections using ropes and rigging systems to safely dismantle trees near buildings. Our equipment includes road tow chippers for efficient waste management.
Crown Thinning
We carefully remove up to 25% of branch density to improve tree health and light penetration. This process reduces wind resistance while maintaining structural integrity, avoiding over-thinning that stresses trees and invites decay.
Hedge Maintenance
We provide annual trimming services for leylandii, beech, yew and other hedge varieties. Our techniques maintain shape while encouraging healthy growth patterns, with expert advice available for establishing new boundary hedges.
Tree Planting
We offer complete tree planting services for private clients and conservation projects, including species selection, protective tube installation, and aftercare plans. Recent projects include 4,500-tree woodland schemes for dormouse habitats.
Pest & Disease Management
Our experts identify fungal infections like Inonotus hispidus and Kretzschmaria deusta through visual inspections. We provide removal recommendations for diseased limbs and risk management strategies for affected trees.
