Tree Care and tree Surgery

Tree surgery

Pruning for safety and light or to correct structural defects. Trees reduced sympathetically to allow more light whilst maintaining their natural appearance, fruit tree pruning for fruit and structure, dismantling of defective mature trees.

 

Tree removal

Sometimes trees need to be removed. Removing large trees in residential situations often requires skilful dismantling of the large timber piece by piece, rigging and lowering it carefully without any damage to the surrounding environment.

 

Emergency works, Dangerous Trees and Storm Damage

From the removal of broken branches high in the canopy to the safe dismantling of fallen and hung-up trees we are highly experienced in dealing with storm damage.

 

Tree Conservation

We take great care to preserve, where possible the benefits that trees can provide in our environment. With the construction of habitat piles and monoliths so that tree removal can be turned into an opportunity for the development of new habitats as well as selecting optimal positions for bat and bird boxes within managed trees.

Removal Services

Stump Grinding and treatment

Following tree removal, we have the equipment and expertise to remove stumps and surface roots, and restore the site afterwards. If you wish to retain the stump without worrying about further growth we can provide safe and environmentally friendly stump treatment using eco-plugs.

 

Replacement Planting

Our expert team will recommend and source suitable, healthy trees and give advice about species selection for biodiversity, drought tolerance and interest.

 

Dynamic bracing

In order to preserve valuable trees we sometimes have to provide support to weak or structurally compromised limbs in the form of bracing. We use the GEFA bracing system that provides a non-invasive solution that allows natural movement of the canopy whilst minimising the risk of failure.

Waste management

All of our arisings are reused, either as biomass to heat the farmhouses where we have our yard or as fuel which is available for sale as seasoned hardwood logs. We also mill especially good timber and supply local wood turners with fruit and exotic woods.

Professional Tree Inspection

Tree reports, management plans and population surveys

Detailed inspection of trees noting species, height, value, and condition, with management recommendations, timescales and inspection intervals. We can provide reports that identify any potential risks with a scheduled management plan included.

What our customers say

  • Ian R McGill ★★★★★
    This company is totally professional. The people working there are themselves extremely knowledgeable and professional in what they do. I had an Ash tree pollarded and the 3-man team carried out the work carefully and were respectful of … More property. They also were very attentive to safety matters for the general public. I can only highly recommend them for any work to be carried out on trees.
  • john Peirce ★★★★★
    From the start this team have been nothing but helpful and professional in helping us resolve trees to be trimmed in an area controlled by the council. After all their help the trees have been pruned and left spotless. Would give a 10 out … More of 5 if we could
    Thanks
  • Michael ★★★★★
    I am new to having professional help in the garden and this has been a very positive experience. At the initial visit Billy provided me with excellent advice, which then translated into my receiving tree work that I am delighted with. The … More team who undertook the work were very polite, efficient and tidy - and led by a person who was knowledgeable about trees and keen to make sure I was happy with decisions as the work proceeded. Thank you Thomas Lily Tree Care.
