Tree Pruning, Maintenance and Preservation

The Tree Company offers complete tree care management services. If you are concerned that an established tree might be unsafe, diseased, or in any way not in optimum condition, we will provide a free assessment and advise you on any pruning or other management works that would restore your tree to full health and safety. As with all our work, we take a holistic approach to the situation, assessing the total environment, not just the individual trees to be treated. We use state-of-the-art arboricultural practice to encourage and support the natural processes that promote healthy growth and ensure the long-term survival of your trees.

We offer free annual tree inspections to all our regular clients.

Pruning for safety is an important task and includes: weight-reducing heavy over-extended lateral branches, removal of deadwood, branch stubs, cracked or crossing branches, canopy reductions and dynamic and static bracing. (see Safety bracing and cabling. link)

Pruning for reasons such as garden aesthetics, sunlight enhancement or property boundary issues requires finesse and a good eye. Our arborists aim to achieve a balance between maintaining a tree's form and beauty and ensuring it does not impact negatively on any other elements in its immediate environment. Such pruning work involves canopy reductions, reshaping, formative thinning, up-lifting of low branches and target pruning branch stubs.
