Tree Care services and Maintenance

We undertake planting in varying sizes, from saplings to more established trees. We produce our own mulch which we use around the base of each planted tree. If trees require staking we have use of diggers. 
We are able to undertake watering contracts (commercial service only)

Most commonly trees are removed due to disease, having come to the end of their life or due to decaying branches. Ash die back is the most common current disease, although others such as Dutch Elm disease can cause a tree to die.

Removal of a tree should primarily be for reasons of safety.

This encourages trees young trees to grow upwards rather than outwards once established. Where a tree is already well established, we would generally only prune fruit trees and shrubs. This shaping and thinning improves air flow and prevents disease.

These are generally created in wooded areas where trees have been taken out to reduce competition or for reasons detailed above. Either a 'dead hedge’ is made, or timber is stacked in a neat pile so that it’s ready for insects.

Crown reductions are undertaken on more established trees to reduce the canopy. We can also lift the lower branches or reduce the tree all the way around. If we recommended thinning, this would involve removing branches from the middle where it’s quite dense (for example on a sycamore) so the tree can breathe better.

For house building or in overgrown gardens.
