This Chestnut tree had blown over in gales. The core was rotton and the whole tree had to be dismantled. The tree was in a domestic garden close to a main road and a neighbours fence. The job was completed to the absolute satisfaction of the client.
The English Tree Company is a professional arboriculturist service run by Jacob English NCA. These are the services we offer.
Crown Reduction:
The ends of all branches are reduced, in length, back to suitable growth points. As a result the entire tree crown is reduced, in size and volume, whilst retaining the natural shape of the species.
Crown Thinning:
Branches are removed from within the tree crown in order to make it uniformly less dense. The natural shape of the tree is completely unaffected but the wind resistance is reduced and more light allowed to filter through.
Crown Lifting:
Increasing the gap between ground level and the crown. This is normally achieved by removing the lowest branches, of the crown, to a specified height.
Felling:
Causing a tree to fall under control.
Dismantelling:
Carefully dismantling a tree in small sections. This operation is usually undertaken using heavy duty rigging equipment, lowering ropes and skilled branch removal techniques.
Dead Wooding:
The removal of dead or dying branches usually for safety and aesthetics. Larger dead branches can be safely retained (in order to provide habitat for birds and insects) by reducing their length and weight.
Hedge Cutting:
Hedges of any size can be topped and trimmed to your specific dimensions.
Fallen Trees:
When a tree falls down it is usually due to the tree's age or health, or the result of bad weather or a combination of these factors. Should you have a fallen tree that requires removal we will come to inspect the tree and begin work to remove it for you as soon as we can. Depending on the size and the location of the fallen tree, safety must be the immediate consideration and we will endeavor to treat these emergency cases as priority.
Branch and limb removal:
Sometimes it is necessary to remove certain branches of a trees crown, without fully reducing, thinning or lifting the crown. An example would be if a large branch or number of branches had extended over a neighbouring boundary. This process involves removing as little live growth as possible to ensure the health and stability of the tree.
