Stump grinding is a much more effective way to remove the stump of a tree. We do this with a powerful, industrial stump grinder with a spinning cutting disc, which enables us to chip away at the stump below ground level.
If a tree needs to be removed, it can be felled in one by cutting the base. After assessing the tree’s condition, we’ll decide on the exact felling method and cuts, as well as the designated drop zone, where it will then be processed and removed. However, it is super important that this is done safely. Sometimes, felling isn’t possible due to obstructions. If this is the case, then the tree would need to be dismantled.
If it is not safe to fell the tree due to a lack of space or due to the terrain (like a neighbour’s lawns and fences, or close proximity to buildings) it may be possible to identify a drop zone where sections of tree can be dropped. In this case, manageable sections of the tree are dismantled by positioning ourselves throughout the canopy, using ropes, harness and a rigging kit. The removed sections of the tree are placed into the designated drop zone safely, in a controlled manner.
A Tree Preservation Order ‘TPO’ is given to certain trees in England by the local planning authorities, in order to protect them from being damaged, moved, topped or taken down. As it is a criminal offence to alter a tree marked with a TPO, you will need to gain authority from the planning authority according to the location of the tree beforehand. It is also important to bear in mind that your application could take up to two months.
There are a few different things you could do to a tree depending on the species of the tree.
A tree crown reduction is when the size of the crown is reduced, by shortening and pruning branches. This is often done when the tree has failed a limb or a branch or has outgrown its natural environment. No matter the reason, we’ll always aim to achieve the most natural and suitable shape for the tree and its health.
This is where the lower branches of the tree are removed, to create more light under the crown and to avoid interference with the environment below - such as pedestrian access.
Pollarding is a pruning process that involves removing secondary branches to avoid the tree outgrowing its natural environment. By leaving the larger limbs of the tree (or even just the main stem) trees and shrubs are able to be kept to a certain size and height. When done annually or every couple of years, this can allow for the tree to live a longer life. However, not all trees are suited to pollarding.
This is a pruning technique that involves the gentle reduction of lateral branches on a tree. By reducing your tree's spread through selective branch removal, you are maintaining its good health, natural form and structural integrity.
When trimming or reducing overgrown hedges, we ensure that the annual regrowth is trimmed off, to maintain a formal shape and desirable height.
To keep a beautiful, manicured look, we recommend an annual trim to maintain your hedges. whether it's a small conifer hedge that needs a tidy or a large row of Leylandii conifers you need reducing, JRS here to help.
