Tree Crown Thinning and Deadwood removal

This involves the removal of smaller branches within the canopy, in order to decrease the overall crown density. This is ideal for allowing increased light penetration through the crown. If there is any deadwood in the crown this can also be removed for the safety of the tree and to improve the overall appearance of the tree.

Tree Crown Lift and Reduction

Crown lift means the removal of lower branches (either whole limbs, or secondary branches). This is usually carried out in order to give clearance to property/traffic etc. or to allow more light to enter beneath the crown.For crown reduction we will shorten the branches throughout the crown in order to reduce the overall crown area. Where possible, we will specify a crown reduction which would allow the retention of strong growth points, leaving a “natural” looking crown.

Tree Felling, Section Felling or Dismantling Sevenoaks

For regular felling this will encompass the removal of a tree by cutting from ground level (where space allows). The tree is de-limbed and cross cut for removal from site once on the ground.Section felling involves the removal of a tree in sections. Usually carried out by a climber using a rope and harness system, but sometimes using a platform (“cherry picker”). This allows trees to be removed in confined spaces or where the tree is too decayed to climb.

Tree Safety Inspection or Survey

The inspection of individual trees, or groups of trees for defects and hazards which could result in damage to property or persons. We take into account the tree species, location and surrounding land use to provide a cost efficient action plan.

Tree Stump Grinding

The stump grinder reduces the tree stump to a pile of wood chips mixed with the soil. This stops any potential re-growth. It removes the stump together with major supporting roots directly adjacent to the stump; other roots will remain within the soil. Arising debris will usually be left in situ unless otherwise agreed.

Woodland Work and Tree Planting

We can help you to get the best from your woodland, both for bio-diversity/species conservation and provision of a sustainable resource. For planting plans for both large numbers and individual trees we can provide advice on tree species selection; supply trees and plant them to a standard which will help to ensure that they thrive.

Hedge and Shrub Trimming or Reduction

Taming of unruly hedges or manicuring of well maintained hedges. Pruning of shrubs to shape, improve flowering or to rejuvenate overgrown specimens.
