Crown Reduction
Crown reduction should not be used to reduce the chances of the tree blowing over in a storm. Crown Thinning is the preferred method to minimize storm damage of an otherwise structurally sound tree. Crown reduction can be considered when the root system of a large maturing tree has substantial decay making it potentially hazardous or on a tree with a high rating.
The objective is to make cuts so that the foliage is left intact on the outer edge of the new, smaller canopy ideally, pruning cuts should not be evident when you stand back from the tree after pruning. Crown reductions are also a good idea if you have telephone lines near trees, as the tree grows their branches can interfere with the cables.
Pruning
Each tree will be individually considered in relation to the: shape, size, character, condition, site and species of tree. All operations will be completed leaving each tree in an acceptable, well-balanced and safe condition. Each branch will be removed using the ABC cut method where risk of tearing is reduced. All final cuts will be made at the branch collar, with the branch collar remaining intact. Under no circumstances will any flush cuts be made.
Felling
Section felling will be used in situations where there is a risk of damage occurring to any property or harm to the public. The work consists of the entire removal of the tree, in sections. If a delay between felling and stump removal is to occur, the stump will be left at a minimum height of 1.5 metres. The straight fell of trees is the removal of trees as a single unit. Straight felling will be limited to such situations that pose no risk of damage to any property or persons whatsoever. Section felling is the best way of removing a tree, if it is necessary. Some trees that show signs of disease, may in some circumstances be saved by cutting off the dead wood/branches to allow for new growth.
Crown Thinning
Thinning crowns to let in more light by removing some, usually up to 30 percent, of the branches and concentrating on dead or congested shoots is another strategy. It is very easy to spoil the appearance of the tree so this is best attempted in stages evaluating the effect before removing more branches or twigs. The growth and therefore, health of the tree is important for ecological purposes.
Crown Lifting
By lifting the crown, that is to remove the lower branches of the tree, it will allow access to the underside of the tree. This allows for ease of mowing access or space under the tree to allow for shade from the sun if people like to sit enjoying the shade in the summer months when the sun is at its strongest. It also helps to prevent children from climbing the trees which is considered to be a hazard and thus preventing accidents.
Hedging
A hedge or hedgerow is a line of tightly packed shrubs and sometimes trees, planted and trained to form a barrier or to mark the boundary of an area, such as between neighbouring properties. Hedges make an attractive, natural alternative to traditional brick walls and wooden fencing at an affordable price, though each individual shrub needs to be taken care of. If left to their own devices, hedges can grow to the point where they obstruct passers by and generally look unappealing.
That's were we step in. L Winter's Tree and Services have been dealing with garden hedges for many years now. Our friendly and experienced staff can trim/prune, and also remove all types of hedgerow from your garden no matter the circumstances.
Removal
L Winter's Tree Services can remove and optionally replace shrubs and hedges surrounding your home garden. Sometimes the amount of maintenance involved in keeping a nice hedge for your home can be impractical compared to the alternatives, or perhaps your require more space than what is currently available. For both of these eventualities, we provide an efficient and clean service for domestic properties no matter the time or place.
Trimming
Hedge growth is a fact of life. Eventually, your hedge is going to become too large to be safe for passers by and the surrounding property, meaning that cutting back is needed. Fortunately, L Winter's Trees and Services are here to help. We can sculpt your hedge back into top condition using a mixture of both hand shearing and machine pruning, leaving your hedge looking the best it can be. We clear up after ourselves so you don't have to.
