Tree Surgery
What is Tree Surgery?
Tree surgery involves the professional maintenance and management of trees and hedges to ensure their health, safety, and to maintain their appearance.
Tree surgeons, or arborists, perform tasks such as pruning, trimming, tree felling, stump removal, and treating diseases and pests. Tree surgeons also provide services like crown reductions, tree planting, and structural support through cabling and bracing.
We would always recommend hiring professional and accredited tree surgeons like ourselves, as we are well equipped and trained in working at height and we have expert knowledge of tree care, and we ensure compliance with legal requirements like Tree Preservation Orders, Conservation Orders and Felling Licences.
Crown Reduction
A crown reduction is the overall reduction of the tree’s canopy to suitable growth points. This service is suitable for allowing more light into gardens, controlling large and overgrown trees, and managing trees at risk of limb failure.
Crown Thin
Crown thinning is the removal of branches throughout the tree’s crown. This involves thinning each branch individually and evenly to reduce its density resulting in more light passing through, weight reduced from each limb preventing possible limb failure, reducing the sail of the tree from wind while maintaining the tree’s initial shape.
Crown Lift
Crown lifting is the removal of the lowest limbs to raise the canopy to a desired height. When dealing with mature or veteran trees, the largest lowest limbs will have their secondary growth removed while they remain, as the removal of large lower limbs may incur rot and infection which will jeopardise the longevity of the tree.
Crown Clean
A crown clean will often depend on the species as to how this pruning is conducted. It is often the combination of a crown thin and removal of dead wood giving the tree a tidier, clean appearance.
Dead Wooding
Dead wooding is the removal of all dead wood throughout the canopy of the tree, which is normally done in the interests of safety as high winds can easily blow dead wood out. In some cases it is good to leave dead wood, if possible, as it creates a good habitat for wildlife, including bats and woodpeckers.
Pollarding
Pollarding is the removal of all branches leaving a structural looking frame which can be pruned back to such points known as pollard heads in yearly cycles. This is often a process performed on young trees as they adapt to this form of pruning. However, certain mature trees can be pollarded and these include Willows, Limes and London Planes.
What our customers are saying about us...
“All tree work was executed with care and consideration. Health and Safety matters for the operation of the site were well planned and executed. A keen eye was kept on the crown balance and overall presentation of the avenue at all times.
“Your team did you proud on the clear up works! Thank you for helping us during the storms”
Fabulous service as always. Efficient, tidy, so friendly, knowledgeable and professional – a pleasure to have them, would recommend the whole team without hesitation.
The tree looks brilliant and so well balanced that you would not know work had been carried out on it. They also did a great job of clearing up and stacking wood left for burning. A neat and tidy garden has been left and we look forward to welcoming them back.
We had Eden Tree Specialists visit this afternoon to work on our tree, the experience from start to finish was first class. You wouldn’t know they had been there, apart from the tree being a lot smaller. Would definitely recommend.
Very professional and polite. All work done exactly as quoted and clearing of debris completed without question. Thoroughly recommend. Well done!
