Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is a standard procedure to reduce the height and spread of the crown of a tree by the removal of the ends of branches whilst to retain the natural shape of the tree species. Ideally the tree should be made about 15% to 20% reduction in size of canopy from a properly executed crown reduction.
Technique
- We do tree crown reduction by reduce the canopy or crown size of the tree because of the cuts required. It involves reducing the overall crown area from the tips of the branches of the tree and shorten the branches that extend surrounding tree. The longest portion of the branches will be cut back to an existing to reduce the weight of potentially dangerous limbs.
Root System
- When the root system of a large maturing tree has substantial decay making it potentially hazardous, crown reduction is a preferred method to minimize the hazardous.
Balance a misshapen tree
- This type of pruning does less damage to a tree especially storm damage because it balances the misshapen tree and reduce the weight of the tree. It is best done gradually over a period of years.
Crown Lifting good for:
- Maintain the over grown trees and the original shape of the tree
- Prevent the tree obstructing and damaging property
- Prevent the tree from interfering with overhead electrical wire and obstructing the building
Solution
Crown Lifting
Increasing the clear space
- Crown Lifting is the technique of increasing the clear space below the foliage of a tree, when clearance is needed for pedestrian and vehicular access.
Technique
- We do tree crown lifting to clear sight lines by removing the lower branches or the whole branches that may be causing an obstruction that extend below the desired clear heights. Example: Trees that obstructing a footpath, highway or a building.
Reduce Weight of a Tree
- Crown lifting is a way to reduce weight from a tree and allow light to pass through the tree. This can be of major benefit to the surrounding environment and create environmentally friendly.
Less Damage
- This type of pruning does much less damage to a tree than reducing the canopy size. It is best done gradually over a period of years.
Crown Lifting good for:
- to provide clearance under the tree
- make signs visible that were installed too far off the ground
- keep the lower branches away from traffic and buildings
Solution
Crown Thinning
We doing crown thinning by removed the portion of smaller or tertiary branches from throughout the crown to thin the density within the tree crown. The branches that rub or cross another should be removed systematically within 30% overall of the tree to avoid producing “lion’s tails”. Lion’s tails can result in sun scalding, epicormic sprouting and weak branch structure and breakage.
In the long run, crown thinning can create and maintain a stable tree structure which prevents safety hazard such as low-growing branches and growth forms subject to danger near pathway or road.
Crown Lifting good for:
- Creating more natural light on your property or garden without altering the overall shape and size of the tree
- Reduce wind resistance and minimize storm damage of an otherwise structurally sound tree
- Reduce weight of the tree and balanced branch structure to encourage natural re-growth
Solution
Crown Reshaping
Tree Crown Reshaping is a way to bring the tree to a desirable condition or shape. It is recommended as being a ‘once-only’ operation to make the tree safe.
Technique
- We reshape the crown by cutting back to a side branch to maintain a flowing branch line.
Solution
Crown Cleaning
Crown cleaning is a way to remove the diseased, dying or dead wood from the canopy of the tree.
Technique
- We do crown cleaning by remove the stumps of broken branches, climbing plants and unwanted epicormic shoots for safety reasons. It is far safer for the crown of the tree to only hold the live wood.
Solution
Pollarding
Pollarding is a tree maintenance technique that used to control the tree size. For example, pollarding results in a large and mature tree become small and its lifespan can be greatly increased. Pollarding involves the removal of all limbs back to the main trunk.
Technique
- We do tree pollarding as it is a method of encouraging lateral branches by cutting off a tree stem or minor branches two or three metres above ground level. After the initial cutting, the tree is then allowed to regrow.
Crown Lifting good for:
- to control the size of the tree due to restricted soil space or the tree having been planted too close to structures
- to avoid dead wood from falling from the tree for safety reasons.
Tree Stump Removal
Our tree operation involves removing the unwanted tree stumps by remove the main root ball of a stump to a depth of approximately 150mm below ground level. Our team able to grind out unwanted tree stumps by using our machines.
Tree Felling
We doing tree felling when the tree is diseased, dead or has become dangerous and needs to be removed entirely.
Technique
- We will carry out a sectional felling process where the tree is dismantled in sections from the top down. Our arborist team will process the section for removal when each section reaches the ground.
Tree Transplanting
By transplanting, the trees are given the best possible start to enable them to establish and thrive. It avoids the necessity to constantly prune or remove trees before they reach maturity.
Technique
- Our arborist team will dig and move trees with balls of soil adhering to portions of their root systems to minimize damage and improve their chance of survival. For safety issue, before the tree transplant can take place, we will evaluate the transplanting project to make sure that it is successful and the plants are up to the task.
Solution
Tree Climbing
Some trees are easy to cut down without the need for climbing, while others require climbing to prune or remove the tree.
Before climbing, our team will plan carefully and speculate where the branches will fall. Limbs that can be cut down from the ground can be chopped off with a handy chainsaw.
Horticulture & Landscape Maintenance
Our Horticulture Team are well experience in landscape maintenance, grass cutting, hedge management and planting jobs. We undertake a wide range of horticulture maintenance which are modify and maintain garden, maintenance services of parks, turf management and floral display services. Our horticulture team will monitor that growth to maintain a neat and healthy landscape.
