In March 2018, Martin Wyss, Landscape Services Manager for the University of Southampton, received an independent arboricultural survey and report which deemed two trees to be highly dangerous to members of the public.
Unfortunately a Corsican pine and an oak would need to be removed.
Having worked together since 2014, he contacted Climbers Way Tree Care to do the job.
When we arrived to quote the job we knew that due to the size and location of the trees we couldn’t fell them. We would have to dismantle them, but we noticed there was something that would complicate the tree removal…
There was a BT phone line running through both trees!
After some problem solving and discussion with Martin we came to the conclusion that we would need a crane to assist with the dismantle to avoid damaging the surrounding infrastructure.
DNB Tree Surgery Limited agreed to work with us and the crane which allowed us to carry out the work efficiently.
Take a look at how the job went on the day.

Allowing dogs in a workplace has proven to reduce staff stress.
In 2012, researchers for the Virginia Commonwealth University in the US studied the stress levels of employees of a manufacturing company who brought their dogs to work. They found these workers reported feeling significantly less stressed throughout the day than those who did not bring a dog to work
– Paws for thought: why allowing dogs in the office is a good idea, The Guardian
Here at Climbers Way, we love having our canine companions to break the stress and keep the office focused and happy.
In the office we have Skyla, she a 4-year-old German Sheppard mix who was rescued as a puppy. She is relaxed but playful and keeps the boys in check.
We have Reggie who is a 7-year-old Collie, the old man of the group.
And we have his adopted brother, Roodie, who is about 1 and a half. He’s also a Collie and has the energy of a Duracell bunny!
It has been a busy start to the year here at Climbers Way.
We wanted to share with you, some of the great work the teams have been doing so far.
Why prune your tree?
Firstly, for the health of the tree.
When you prune your tree, you are removing all the dead and damaged branches that may bring disease and decay. This also allows a lot more sunlight to run through the canopy which results in fewer diseases.
Not only will you keep your tree healthy but you will stop your tree from becoming a hazard. Pruning your tree helps maintain a strong tree structure.
If you have a tree that needs some love, have a look at the services we offer and get in touch.
Here at Climbers Way we thought it would be great to give you an insight into what it’s like being a tree surgeon, direct from the people with plenty of hands-on experience.
This will be a running series for the next month or so, bringing you the ins and outs of the job and what we love about it.

As 2018 kicks off, we’re preparing for a busy year.
With this comes the task of building strong teams so that our work is the best it can be.
And being the best is something Climbers Way always strives to be.
This year we are lucky enough to introduce four new members to our team: Simon Swancott, Joe Morris, Sam Delves and Connor Thorne.
We have clear goals and targets that we push each other to reach but never without compromising safety or our high standard of work.
Tree work can be a dangerous profession. We’re working with chainsaws at height amongst other machinery so working as a team is imperative. We come together every month to review our practices and to find more efficient ways to work, constantly growing as individuals and as a business.
