Tree Removal
Where a tree is dying or is dangerous in any way, or where it has grown too large in an inappropriate location, removal of the tree is often the most appropriate option.
Hedge Trimming
Do you have trees or hedges that are too difficult or too high for your gardener? We have specialist equipment that allows us to trim trees or hedge to a manageable high and an excellent standard.
Stump Grinding
Once a tree has been removed, a stump will remain that may take years to rot away. We can grind the remaining stump and leave the area tidy and reusable.
Tree Bracing
Tree bracing is a good way to retain a tree that require additional support. If a tree has a weak included branch union or hazardous limb, bracing can enhance the longevity and safety of your tree.
