For the past 10 years, Climbers Way Tree Care has been an integral part of maintaining the University of Southampton’s green spaces. Through ongoing remedial tree work, we help ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors while preserving the university’s valuable tree stock.
Ongoing Tree Maintenance & Safety Work
Our work is guided by scheduled tree surveys that identify potential safety risks across the university’s extensive campus. Once hazards are flagged, we carry out targeted tree surgery to mitigate risks and maintain the health of the trees.
Our key services include:
- Identifying and addressing safety concerns through expert tree assessments
- Pruning to prevent overgrowth encroaching on surrounding buildings
- Reducing weight loads on mature trees to extend their lifespan
- General tree health maintenance and preservation
Preserving Veteran Oak Trees: A Specialist Project
One of our most notable projects involved the crown reduction of 17 mature veteran oak trees. These trees, positioned near residential properties, required careful reduction of 1–3 meters to alleviate excess weight while ensuring adequate clearance for neighbouring homes.
This delicate process aimed to:
- Reduce structural stress on these ancient oaks
- Enhance long-term tree stability and health
- Maintain a balance between safety and conservation
