Tree pruning
Pruning is fundamental if you want to keep your trees healthy and happy all year round. Our tree pruning services involve the removal of diseased, loose, or dead branches to help the tree flourish. We are also happy to remove overgrown branches that interfere with other parts of the tree or other plants.
Deadwooding
Have you noticed parts of your tree start to die? Deadwooding involves trimming unsightly dead wood from your tree, thereby improving its overall health.
The Importance of Deadwooding Your Tree
Deadwooding involves removing dead branches from your trees. It’s an essential element of tree maintenance, removing loose or dying branches. These branches are easily blown off or knocked loose during storms, creating a real hazard to people and property.
Tips for Deadwood Your Tree
Spring is the best time to deadwood most trees
A tree can be exposed to less sunlight on one of its sides, so one side will require more deadwooding than the other side
Deadwooding will leave your tree looking more lively and healthy
If not removed, dead branches can rot, and the rot can spread to healthy parts of the tree, destroying the whole tree
Rotting branches can attract pests and predatory insects, causing further damage to the whole tree
Crown lifting
If the lower branches of your tree’s are starting to grow out of control, crown lifting could help to improve access to the space underneath the tree, enhance views or sightlines, and allow light to reach the ground surrounding the trunk.
Stump grinding
As well as looking unsightly, tree stumps can pose health and safety risks. Fortunately, stump grinding can minimize these issues using an advanced excavation process that removes the tree stump without eliminating the roots. If you select this service, one of our expert operatives will use a stump grinder to grind the stump to your desired height, producing only fine sawdust as waste.
Crown reduction
Are your trees blocking light to your building? Perhaps they’re packed into a tight space and their branches are starting to encroach on a neighbour’s property? Crown reduction could help to address these issues while maintaining the integrity of your trees.
This service represents one of the most common tasks for tree surgeons, helping to control the size and height of unruly trees. By enlisting the help of HRJ for crown reduction, you can ensure that your tree is well looked after and that the shape of the crown is maintained.
