Care for your trees

Trees are an important part of our ecosystem, providing essential habitats for many kinds of flora and fauna, communities of organisms and plants such as ferns, mosses and orchids along with arboreal lichens algae and fungi. On the ground leaf litter, fallen branches and decaying wood feeds the forest floor. Trees stabilise the soil, prevent rapid run-off of rain water, have a role in climate control and help in the maintenance of biodiversity and eco- balance.
Many species of tree support their own specialised invertebrates. 284 different species of insect have been found on the English oak  {Quercus robur}

It is very important that trees are pruned in a manner which is appropriate to the species. Wounds inflicted on trees during heavy pruning o​r incorrectly selected target cuts will often provide portals for decay fungi. Affected trees are prone to blowdown and breakage at the wound site,​​

Good pruning techniques as stated in British Standard recommended tree pruning bs3998 can control growth, remove dead or diseased wood, and stimulate the formation of flowers and fruit buds. It is widely stated that careful attention to pruning and training young trees improves their later productivity and longevity, and that good pruning and training can also prevent later injury from weak crotches or forks (where a tree trunk splits into two or more branches) that break from the weight of fruit, snow, or ice on the branches

Here is a mature triple stem Sycamore, which had failed at the major Union during high winds, luckily there was no damage to property, during a lull in the weather we stabilised the remaining two stems, so as to safely remove the sail from the tree, alleviating the risk of further failure, we then section felled the remaining stems in a timely manner before the wind struck again, the work was carried out safely and all parties happy with the end result.

We can provide a safe and efficient solution to your arboriculture requirements, ranging from the sympathetic pruning  of ornamental trees and shrubs through to the dismantling of large diseased, dangerous  or storm damaged trees. Using the latest NPTC City and Guilds and Lantra Approved Techniques. Working in accordance with BS3998.
