Pruning is required to remove dead and dying branches to maintain tree health and safety. This type of pruning is referred to as cleaning. Research has now documented that thinning, the removal of live branches to reduce crown density, significantly reduces wind resistance and potential storm damage. Thinning should only be done on trees where the crown is “too dense.”
A BH Tree Services Ltd arborist has training and experience to evaluate this attribute.
A hedge can vary from Leylandii around your house to a whitethorn hedgerow along the roadside. At BH Tree Services, we have the capacity to carry out maintenance of such hedgerows using either manual or mechanical means. We are experts when it comes to Hedge Cutting.
At BH Tree Services Ltd we realise that times trees may need to be felled due to death or structural integrity being compromised. Often our felling involves operating in tight and complex surroundings so we dismantle the tree carefully and in manageable sections to ensure a smooth operation. The majority of the time the tree will have to be sectionally dismantled. This involves the tree being climbed and taken down piece by piece in a safe a manner.
Once a tree has been felled to ground level, you may require the stump to also be removed. For this BH Tree Services Ltd offer a straight forward stump and root removal service. This procedure involves using a stump grinding machine which will remove the stump.
As a tree matures it is completely natural for it to produce dead and dying wood. The general process of “dead wooding” is to remove dead, dying and diseased branches throughout the crown. BH Tree Services Ltd team of highly skilled and trained Arborists are capable of providing you with advice on how your tree will respond to best practice deadwood removal.
Reducing canopy size stresses the tree because of the cuts required. Unlike a thinning cut, a drop-crotching cut does not cut back to a natural boundary, this means that decay can spread quickly inside cut branches, for this reason it is best not to perform crown reduction if at all possible.
