Tree felling, removal, dismantling

Tree removal is necessary when a tree has become hazardous due to death or disease. This can be a simple operation if the tree is small and located within a clear area. Large trees situated close to buildings, immovable objects or telephone lines often require dismantling using ropes and other lowering equipment. TreeKings are properly equipped and certified to remove hazardous trees safely and efficiently.

Crown Reduction/shaping

Also referred to as tree topping, tree trimming or tree shaping, crown reduction involves the removal of branches from the outermost parts of the crown back to a lateral bud or stem. When performed correctly, crown reduction can increase light penetration and reduce the chance of tree/limb failure, whilst leaving a natural tree form. We make sure we  meet our customers expectations without detriment to tree look or health, through careful selection of foliage to be removed, resulting in a natural looking tree structure. 

Broken, dead, diseased

Removal of potentially hazardous branches can be completed either individual or on a whole tree and is referred to as crown cleaning. In areas frequented by the public removal of hazardous branches is essential. TreeKings regularly undertakes tree work where pedestrians and other traffic need diverting and deploy traffic management when required.

Pruning

Also referred to as tree cutting, tree chopping and tree lopping, effective pruning enables the tree to heal easily. This in turn reduces the chance of rot and decay which can lead to the tree becoming dangerous. All our tree surgery is carried out to BS 3998 enabling us to meet our customers expectations without damaging tree health.

Crown thinning

A correctly thinned tree can help improve light penetration and reduce wind resistance through the tree crown. However poorly thinned trees can often produce fast growing foliage, as part of a stress response, that can lead to a potentially hazardous tree. Knowing the right amount of foliage to remove depends on tree age and species. TreeKings evaluate each tree to provide you with the best care to ensure no unwanted side effects.

Crown lifting/raising

Removal of the lower branches of a tree can help improve light penetration or just stop you bumping your head when mowing the lawn.

Hedge & shrub shaping

Hedges and other shrubbery act as a attractive boundary, providing shelter and privacy. Regular hedge maintenance helps to keep your hedges healthy,  looking their best and under control. Hedges left un-trimmed for to long can end up losing their shape and casting unwanted shadows. 

For evergreen hedges like leylandii and other conifer species, TreeKings recommend hedge trimming up to twice a year. The first trim should be undertaken at the beginning of March, before the bird nesting season has begun and the second at the end of the September, when the nesting season ends. If your garden contains broad leaf hedges or other shrubs, TreeKings can provide advice on the best time to trim particular species.

TreeKings trim, reduce and define all sizes of shrub and hedge vegetation, we remove all waste, which can be recycled or left for composting.

STump & root Removal

After the felling/dismantling of a dangerous or problematic tree, the final cut will be made as close to ground level as possible. The remaining stump and roots can be left to decay, (which can take many years) or removed using a stump grinder. Some species of broadleaf tree will sprout new shoots from the base, requiring regular removal. Stump grinding can remove the remaining stem, cutting off the roots, removing the ability of the tree to send out new growth. We can remove any size of stump and in situations where stump removal is not possible, will drill and treat the tree to stop regrowth.
