Felling is the traditional route to tree removal - it's where we safely cut the tree from the base and guide it to fall in a controlled manner. Perfect for those with enough space to let the tree lie where it lands.

But when space is tight, our dismantling service comes into play, we take your tree down piece by piece, removing it with minimal fuss and maximum care. No matter the method, we ensure a tidy, swift service.

Tree stumps often hold up building projects, prevent you from turfing and can be dangerous tripping hazards, but it is difficult to remove a tree stump without professional expertise and specialist equipment.

We can use a process known as stump grinding. We grind the stump down below ground level, creating aerated mulch that will fill the hole left behind. The whole process takes less than a day and your garden or property will be left ready for the redevelopment you had planned. You will be able to turf, landscape, or build on the land in a way that wasn’t possible before!

A method for thinning out and pruning the canopy of a tree, crown reduction involves removing an array of branches including dead or diseased branches, in order to create a thinner canopy with a reduced overall spread.

Crown raising, also known as crown lifting, is the process of removing lower branches of trees so that the space underneath is of the desired amount. It’s a common method of keeping a good tree but making it fit in with the environment in a more practical way.

Crown thinning is a pruning technique that involves selectively removing branches throughout the canopy of the tree. This common practice increases the amount of light that passes through the tree.

A crown thin removes selected limbs from within the canopy amounting to around 15% of the canopy. The pruning cuts will be small enough to prevent harming the tree and prevent encouraging regrowth.

A completed crown thin will reduce the wind resistance of the tree which improves its strength against storms and strong winds.
