The Tree Felling & Pruning service involves the careful and strategic removal and maintenance of trees to enhance the safety, aesthetics, and health of outdoor environments. It encompasses two main components: tree felling, which involves the complete removal of trees, and tree pruning, which involves selectively removing branches to promote healthier growth and shape.
Tree felling is typically performed when a tree poses a risk to property, infrastructure, or personal safety due to disease, structural instability, or encroachment. It requires skilled arborists equipped with specialised tools and techniques to safely and efficiently fell trees while minimising damage to surrounding structures and vegetation.
Tree pruning, on the other hand, is a proactive maintenance practice aimed at improving the overall health and appearance of trees. It involves selectively removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches to promote better air circulation, sunlight penetration, and structural integrity. Pruning also helps to shape trees, encourage fruit or flower production, and reduce the risk of storm damage or falling limbs.
Both tree felling and pruning require careful assessment and planning to ensure that the work is performed safely and in accordance with local regulations and best practices. Qualified arborists assess the condition and specific needs of each tree before determining the most appropriate course of action.
Following tree felling, you will be left with the remaining tree stump. To prevent suckering (where new plants or branches will grow from the remaining trunk) or fungal root rot, it is important to remove the stump from the area. Stumps are often large and heavy with deep and wide roots, so it is important to enlist professional stump grinding services. We can do this following our tree felling or at a later date, depending on your convenience. Tree stump grinding consists of mechanically grinding out the main root plate to leave a fine sawdust which can either be used as mulch or to fill the remaining hole where the stump was.
Overall, the Tree Felling & Pruning service plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety, health, and beauty of outdoor environments by responsibly managing tree populations and promoting sustainable tree care practices.
