Tree Pruning Stockport

1st November 2019 / Jill Simpson / 0 Comments

When trees outgrow their spaces, tree reduction may be the best idea. The best advice available is to tackle this issue sooner rather than later. The longer you leave it, the harder the job will be. You have to consider recovery for the tree so it is important that you don’t do something that will harm the tree.

Why might tree pruning be needed?

There are a range of reasons why a tree may need pruning. It does not just need to be because the tree is oversized. It may be because the tree has dead or diseased branches. So many clients are unaware of the way in which trees can be affected and how they should be cared for.

It is usually best to try and keep tree growth under control with regular pruning. We realise that this may not always be practical. It may be that you move into a property with overgrown trees in the garden. This may mean that you need to be proactive in how best to get the trees cared for.

When should you reduce trees?

You will usually find that tree surgeons advise the best time to prune a tree is in late summer. This is when tree healing is most rapid. There can be complications if you prune a tree at the incorrect time. Getting advice from a time-served professional is by far the best idea.

How to reduce tree size

Depending on the tree involved and the intended effect there are several tree pruning strategies. These may include:

An overall trim
Pruning when the tree is dormant
Pollarding
Crown lifting
Crown thinning

It is important that you are aware of any preservation orders on any particular tree. It is our job to care about your tree care and how best to approach tree reduction. If you would like to request a quotation, please call us today on 07855859983.

A Day in the Life of a Tree Surgeon

31st January 2019 / Jill Simpson / 0 Comments

Tree surgery work needs to be accessible all of the time. Damaged or dangerous trees do not only happen in sociable hours. This is why we are open for business 24-hours per day. While we have our usual work load, we are also fast acting for emergency tree surgery work throughout Cheshire.

A large number of our clients get in contact during the winter months as they feel as though it is more realistic to remove tress while their leaves are not on. They may feel as though it creates less mess and is more manageable. Therefore, we are always on hand to help; come rain or shine.

This is a project we recently undertook. The trees had become too large and problematic. We carefully and skilfully took down the trees. These images show the process we followed and the difference it made. The area is now more open, lighter and brighter. There are no longer issues related to the tall trees and our clients were so pleased.

Some may not even realise the changes tree removal can make. Did you know that we undertake all aspects of tree surgery? Our work is completed to British Standard 3998 and we are fully insured to £5,000,000. This offers our clients absolute certainty that they are dealing with a professional Company. Our staff are exhaustively trained in all aspects of our work and we take great pride in our work.

Can tree removal be done in the Winter months?

While there may be some additional considerations; yes, tree removal and tree surgery work can absolutely be completed in the winter months. There are cases where the work is more straight forward when completed in the months where the trees do not have their leaves.

The colder weather may mean we need to be more rigid about safety or plan around the icy conditions. However, rest assured that we can undertake our work in almost any conditions. Call today to enquire about our services on 07855 859983.

A reputable tree surgeon is an incredible asset. There are many elements of the work that can go wrong and the results can offer terrible consequences. We were asked to fell this Sycamore tree in Stockport. From the first image you can see how large the tree was beside the house.

Overgrown trees are knowingly problematic. The trees can restrict the light and the roots can cause problems for paving and buildings alike. Our client wanted the tree to be felled and wanted to find out more about their options.

Tree Surgeon Stockport The following images show the stages of the tree removal. Our skilful staff are trained in order to complete the process carefully and safely. We use all of our own machinery which is cared for and looked after in order to ensure its safety.

We take great pride in our work and enjoy taking on challenging tree surgery work. You will find that a lot of our competitors are not able to take on some of the larger tree removal work.

These images show a job we completed in Torkington Park, Stockport. The first image shows how large the tree had grown in comparison to the house. This happens over many years but some of our customers report that once the tree becomes problematic, it can mean they need urgent help.

The following images show the process of reduction (and the sheer amount of wood created from that process).

There may be a few different reasons as to why a tree may need felling; these may include the fact that it has died, is dying or has become dangerous. In any of these circumstances, it is pivotal that caution is used when tree felling.

Tree Felling Stockport Tree surgeons Stockport

We have formulated the following four-step guide for felling a tree, however, our best advice is to be careful and never push the boundaries of safety.

Here’s our 4-step Guide to Tree Felling:

The first cut is a horizontal cut, this should be a third the width of the tree.
The second cut is a wedge cut, which should meet the horizontal cut. From this, a piece of wood should drop out which resembles a segment of orange. This will determine the direction the tree will fall in.
The third cut is to the back of the ‘V’ of the wedge cut. Make sure you leave a substantial piece of holding wood (the hinge) of which the tree will pivot and fall. Important: this is determined by the size of tree you are felling.
When the tree starts to fall use your escape route to the safe area. This should be pre-planned and discussed in detail with any other individuals helping to complete the task.

It is highly likely that after reading the above information that you may be feeling overwhelmed. This does depend on the size of the tree, but if you are looking for further advice please call today on 07855 859983.
