Felling Tree removal. In our working environments this is normally done by dismantling a section of the tree at a time. The trees are taken down as near as possible to ground level or alternatively, may be left as a high stump for the benefit of wildlife. Crown Cleaning Removing dead or defective branches, or branches that have grown across one another. This is usually necessary for safety reasons. Crown Reduction A crown reduction is a decrease in the extent of the crown spread, carried out sensitively to retain an attractive shape. (usually expressed in percentage terms) Crown Thinning Removing branches from the crown of a tree without reducing the height or the spread. Crown Lifting The removal of lower branches to allow room beneath the tree for passing vehicles, mowing and pedestrians etc. (usually expressed in metres from ground level). This will prevent the tree from becoming too dense, stops the tree from casting too much shade and is a useful method for allowing more daylight into nearby properties whilst retaining the tree’s size. Re-shaping Pruning a tree or shrub sympathetically to return it to a aesthetically pleasing shape. This is usually necessary when a tree has not been maintained for some time or has been pruned incorrectly in the past. Deadwooding The removal, for safety reasons, of any dead wood from the tree’s crown. Deadwood can soon be dislodged in the wind and can cause damage or injury. Grubbing Out Digging out woody vegetation without the use of machine. Normally done for small tasks or when lack of space prevents the use of a stump grinder. Site Clearance Completely removing all woody vegetation from a plot of land. Hedge Cutting Trimming off and removing new growth from the hedge, using petrol hedge trimmers, leaving a neat edge. Hedge Reduction Reducing the hedge in height and/or width. This involves cutting the thicker, woody stems of the hedge using chainsaws. The hedge is then trimmed and neatened up with hedge cutters. Wood Chipping We process smaller tree waste through a wood chipper. The wood chips are directed straight into our vehicle where we take it away. Alternatively, we can leave them in a pile for your own use on request. We can also chip up tree waste that you have created. Pollarding This method is often used for street trees and trees in a confined area. It involves the removal of branches at a given height. The tree is unsightly until foliage re-grows from the branch stubs. The sprouting foliage develops into a new dense, but weaker branch system. Pollarding must be carried out regularly for safety reasons and to maintain the tree to the desired size. Stump Grinding Mechanically removing a tree stump so that the ground can be re-used. This involves the use of a stump grinder, a portable power tool (it can be of various sizes), chips away at the wood to 30-45cm below ground level, using a rotating cutting disk.
