Tree Surgery

Tree surgery is a large feature in the cultivation, management and study of trees, shrubs and other plants. This means that it is a professional practice within arboriculture. Arborists do not work with forests or large areas of plants, but continually focus on the health of individual trees and plants.

More specifically, this involves:

Crown lifting

Crown lifting is a process encompassing the removal of branches from lower parts of the trees crown. This lifts the overall height and allows more light to penetrate through the branches and reach the lower crown.

Tree felling

On some occasions, a tree surgeon will find that a tree may need removing completely. We can carry out felling of small trees.

Branch removal

Without fully reducing or lifting the crown, a tree’s branches often need removing. This is if they cross or have extended themselves over set boundaries. This process does not seek to remove large parts of the trees, but only the parts necessary, in order to ensure a healthy stability for the tree.
