Tree Surgery Services In Mansfield & Nottinghamshire

Crown Thinning

Removing branches from the crown of a tree without reducing the height or the spread.

This prevents the tree from becoming too dense, stops the tree from casting too much shade and is a useful method for allowing more daylight into nearby properties whilst retaining the tree’s size. It also helps the wind to blow through a tree that may be susceptible to wind damage. Whilst crown thinning, we also remove any deadwood and defective branches.

Stump Grinding

Mechanically removing a tree stump so that the ground can be re-used. This involves the use of a stump grinder, a portable power tool (it can be of various sizes), chips away at the wood to 30-45cm below ground level, using a rotating cutting disk.

Crown Reduction

A crown reduction (usually expressed in percentage terms) is a decrease in the extent of the crown spread, carried out sensitively to retain an attractive shape.

Wood Chipping

We process smaller tree waste through a wood chipper. The wood chips are directed straight into our vehicle where we take it away. Alternatively, we can leave them in a pile for your own use on request. We can also chip up tree waste that you have created.

Pollarding

This is a tree surgery technique for controlling a tree’s size. This method is often used for street trees and trees in a confined area. It involves the removal of branches at a given height. The tree is unsightly until foliage regrows from the branch stubs. The sprouting foliage develops into a new dense, but weaker branch system. Pollarding must be carried out regularly for safety reasons and to maintain the tree to the desired size.

Re-shaping

Pruning a tree or shrub sympathetically to re-establish an aesthetically pleasing shape. Usually necessary when a tree has not been maintained for some time or has been pruned incorrectly in the past.

Crown Lifting

(Usually expressed in metres from ground level). The removal of lower branches to allow room beneath the tree for passing vehicles, mowing, pedestrians etc.

Deadwooding

The removal, for safety reasons, of any dead wood from the tree’s crown. Deadwood can soon be dislodged in the wind and can cause damage or injury.
