Property One can offer you a variety of tree services.
Our company is fully insured to the sum of £5m public liability and we risk assess all sites we work on.
We can assist you with local authority issues on tree preservation and conservation.
Here is an example of some of the tree services we can offer you:
CROWN REDUCTION AND SHAPING
Crown reduction pruning is most often used when
a tree has grown too large for its permitted
space. In the above diagram the blue area of
branches would be removed. This method results
in a more natural appearance and increases the
time before pruning is needed again and
minimizes stress caused to the tree.
CROWN THINNING
Crown thinning is a pruning technique primarily
used on hardwood trees. Crown thinning is the
selective removal of stems and branches to
increase light penetration and air movement
throughout the crown of a tree. The intent is to
improve a tree's structure and form while making
life uncomfortable for tree pests
CROWN LIFTING
Crown lifting is the removal of selected
branches and limbs from the lower part of the
trees crown thus lifting the crowns overall
height. Depending on the location of the tree,
this process is generally performed to ensure
vehicles and people can pass safely underneath
avoiding accidents and injury. This process can
also assist in allowing more light to penetrate
through the lower crown.
TREE PRUNING
The main reason for pruning trees are safety
health and aesthetics. It can also be used to
stimulate fruit and flower growth.
Pruning for safety involves removing branches
that could fall and cause injury or property
damage, trimming branches that interfere with
lines of sight on streets or driveways, and
removing branches that grow into utility lines.
Pruning for health involves removing diseased of
insect-infested wood, thinning the crown to
increase air flow and reduce some pest problems,
and removing crossing and rubbing branches.
Pruning can best be used to encourage trees to
develop a strong structure and reduce the
likelihood of damage during severe weather.
Removing broken or damaged limbs encourages
wound closure.
TREE FELLING
Occasionally a tree will need to be removed
completely, this can be for a number of reasons.
In the interests of conservation a diseased tree
may have to be removed to ensure neighboring
trees do not also become infected. Other reasons
to fell a tree will include safety (to people
and property) i.e. if a tree is in a state of
decay or in a weakened condition, or if the tree
is in an unsuitable area affecting planning
applications and construction projects. Felling
a large tree in a restricted area will normally
require the tree to be climbed and dismantled in
sections. Other times when space, safety and the
trees form and allows, a tree may be felled in
the traditional forestry sense of the term, by
bringing the tree to ground using practiced
methods to ensure a safe, controlled and
calculated fell.
TREE STUMP REMOVAL
Once a tree has been felled to ground level, you
may require the stump to also be removed. For
this we offer a straight forward stump and root
removal service. This procedure involves using a
stump grinding machine which will, as the name
suggests, grind the stump out of the ground
until the stump and root system are destroyed.
This is sometimes required if it is intended to
re plant in the area the tree once was, or if
the stump will be obstructing the building of a
new structure such as a shed, fence or a
property extension. If the stumps presence is
not a concern, we are able to treat the stump to
ensure that re growth does not occur.
DEAD WOODING
As a tree grows it is natural for some branches
to die back. It is advisable to have your tree
regularly inspected and cleared of any deadwood.
TREE PROTECTION
The first two to five years after a tree is
planted are the riskiest and most
difficult. Newly planted trees are vulnerable to
whatever unfavorable condition Nature (and man,
too, unwittingly) dishes out. We offer various
methods which can be put in place to ensure the
best possible development for your newly planted
tree.
PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE
In addition to our surgery services we are able
to offer a skilled planting and maintenance
service, these include:
· Tree planting from largest to smallest
· Tree moving
· Tree maintenance ( new plantings)
