Re-Pollarding Lime Trees
These large Lime trees have been pollarded previously and the time had come to repollard them. Unlike indiscriminate topping, pollarding is carried out in regular cycles, depending on the species of tree this can be anywhere between 2-5 years. The resulting ‘pollard heads’ can often give the tree a character all of its own, and […]

Removing A Row of Conifer Trees
This was a situation where a line of Western Red Cedar conifer trees(Thuja plicata), possibly planted as a hedge, had grown to an unmanageable size. As well as slowly encroaching on the driveway, one tree, in particular, was overhanging the garage and getting close to the house. In this instance, the customer decided to have […]
Removal Of Decaying Ash Tree
This Mature Ash tree sadly needed to be removed due to the substantial amount of decay in the butt and the root area. As the tree was roadside, it was deemed to be of high risk to members of the public and was therefore condemned. We employed the use of a timber lorry on this […]

As a result, there was a strong possibility of this new growth failing and failing on to buildings below. From the customer’s point of view, the tree was […]
Remedial Works to Veteran English Oak
This large mature veteran oak tree (Quercus robur) was showing signs of fungal decay in and around the base and buttress roots (in this case the decay was caused by Gymnopus fusipes). Works carried out included the removal of deadwood, but more importantly, we reduced the large scaffold limbs by approximately 20%, reducing the weight of […]
Beech Tree Reduction & Shaping
This is an example of a situation where a Beech tree (Fagus sylvatica) is outgrowing its environment. The tree has been pruned on at least several occasions during its lifespan and in recent years has had a T.P.O. applied to preserve its amenity value. To begin with, there was some opposition from the Tree Officer […]
