As certified arborists, we apply our expertise to assess the overall health of a tree, we observe signs of decay, disease, pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and structural issues and by conducting a comprehensive tree examination, we gain a deep understanding of the specific care required to restore your tree's vitality.

    Tree felling means the tree is removed straight from the ground level.

    Tree felling may be necessary to create more space in your garden or to remove trees which are dead or potentially dangerous.

    Tree felling is done in two ways - whole or in pieces. When there is the space to fell a tree with no risk to property. A tree is felled quickly and safely as whole and can be removed.

    Dismantling tree in pieces is usually the approach that we take when there is less space and felling may not be the best option.

    After a tree has been removed/felled, the last thing to do to ensure it doesn’t grow back is to remove the stump left in the ground.

    We can remove any number of stumps in one visit. We are happy to do this after we have removed/ felled a tree or even as a stand-alone service for trees that have already been brought down by somebody else.

    Protected Trees

    “TPO” Tree Preservation Order or “Conservation Area” both are made by a local planning authority (often the local council) to protect a specific tree or woodland from deliberate damage and destruction such as pruning, felling, root cutting or otherwise wilful damage.

    ‘TPO’ applications to the local council can take up to 8 weeks for a decision to be made. During this time no work can be carried out before consent has been given.

    We can help to find out whether or not your trees fall under the TPO’ or ‘Conservation area’ and we can make applications to the local council on your behalf for a small fee.
