All our tree surgeon's pruning cuts comply with modern arboricultural practice that limits the impact of tree surgery on tree health.

Whereby all branches are reduced, in length, back to suitable growth points. As a result the entire tree crown is reduced in size and volume, whilst retaining the tree’s natural shape.
  Tree Works has experience when consulting for many different sites. From building development and conservation to site clearance and woodland maintenance. Whatever you require we can assess the site and give advise so that you can plan for what’s best for the site and for the surroundings.
Information such as tree species, age and condition collected, provides the basis for good short, mid and long-term management decisions. The individual needs of each tree can be identified and an overall management strategy implemented. The process consists of increasing the distance between ground level and the crown. This is achieved by removing the lowest branches to a specific height.
 Branches are removed from within the tree crown to make the canopy less dense. The tree’s crown is completely unaffected. The tree will benefit from a reduced ‘Sail Effect’ (wind resistance) and more light allowed to filter through its crown.
 Used to encourage the development of a healthy stem and branch framework in very young trees. Achieved by carefully selecting and removing diseased wood, congested and rubbing branches and weak branch unions. The process increases the chance of a healthy, disease free canopy as the tree matures.
  The removal of dead or dying branches to ensure a safe and more aesthetically pleasing crown.
 The method of encouraging lateral branches by cutting off a tree stem or minor branches two or three metres above ground level. The tree is then allowed to regrow after the initial cutting, but once begun, pollarding requires regular maintenance.
 The process by which young tree stems are cut down to a foot or less from ground level. In doing so, a multitude of new shoots are encouraged to grow.
 Under the present climate, weather conditions put more strain on mature tree’s structural integrity. This can compromise weak branch unions. Cable bracing is used to stabilise a tree with weak branch unions by providing equal support between the major limbs.
  Causing a tree to fall under control by carefully making a series of strategic cuts at the base of the trunk. Carefully dismantling a tree in small sections when access is restricted or when there are obstacles to be avoided underneath the crown. The operation is usually undertaken with heavy-duty rigging, lowering ropes & skilled branch removal techniques.
   This takes place in order to assess the structural integrity of mature trees. Our climbers are familiar with the tell tale signs of weaknesses within the canopy. The results are conveyed with suggested operations to be carried out to ensure the tree remains safe and healthy.
  After every tree we remove, we encourage a replacement tree to be planted. We offer advice specific to the location and the customer requirements about what specimen would best replace the old tree. We can then source, plant and stake the tree to ensure it sustains beauty and life in your environment.
