Woodland Management: We undertake a wide range of woodland management services, from selected felling, coppicing, restoring lapsed coppice, scrub clearance, Rhododendron management, tree and hedgerow planting, deer fencing and ivy removal. Give us a call to arrange a site visit and free initial consultation.

Crown Thinning: If you wish to lessen the shade caused by a tree, Crown Thinning is sometimes used in preference to a crown reduction, as it is often a cheaper option. Dead, diseased, damaged and overlapping branches are generally removed first, then a number of small, secondary branches are removed.

Stump Grinding: Stump grinding and removal are highly specialised tasks, particularly in the vicinity of underground services, and should not be attempted without the right training or equipment. Our tree care team have the right tools, the training and the experience to dispose of your stumps cleanly and efficiently.

Crown Reduction: Stump Reduction describes the process of reducing the overall size of the tree, whilst retaining its main shape. A small amount of the end growth is removed from the peripheral branches.

Tree Preservation Orders (TPO’s): Trees in any location may be protected by legislation for a wide variety of reasons. Examples include biodiversity, amenity or to avoid unnecessary tree loss. Proposed tree work might also be subject to legislation covering the protection of bats or nesting birds. The penalties can be very severe. Those guilty of non-compliance could face several thousands of pounds in fines and replacements. The law applies equally to both the contractor and property owner. TPOs are placed on individual trees, groups of trees, and even entire forests and woodlands where the local area benefits from the great aesthetic value of the protected tree/s. Similar statutory protection is afforded to all trees above a certain size (75mm diameter at 1500mm height) inside a conservation area. The protection covers the whole tree, including the roots, which may extend many metres beyond the canopy. We take our obligations to clients and the environment very seriously. Dale can advise on the completion of the application forms, or submit the form for you, for £30 (plus vat). He can also provide a comprehensive, no obligation, written report to accompany the application. All proposed works will be specified to British Standards 3998:2010 – Recommendations for tree work.
