Our experienced team of specialists will deliver a first class service.  Our range of services is detailed below.

Tree Felling

The complete removal of a tree down to ground level.  The stump will be left as close to the ground as possible but will be above soil level.

Crown thinning

A crown thin involves the removal of branches within the crown of the tree, usually to allow more light to penetrate through.  The technique produces a uniform branch structure without altering the overall size or shape of the tree and reduces the wind resistance of the crown, thus reducing the loading upon the limbs of the tree

Crown lifting

Crown Lifting involves the removal of the lower branches to give the effect of 'lifting' the crown of the tree, usual reasons being to either allow more light, or to give access for traffic.

Crown cleaning/removal of dead wood

Involves the removal of dead, dying or diseased branches within the crown of the tree.

Crown reduction and re-shaping

Involves Reducing the height of a tree, and re-shaping accordingly whilst maintaining the tree’s natural shape as far as practicable.

Stump and Root Removal

This procedure involves using a stump grinding machine that will grind the stump out of the ground, destroying the root. The stump is treated to ensure that re-growth does not occur. Our stump grinder will remove any tree stump in most locations.
