Tree Felling & Tree Removal
Tree felling is the complete removal of a tree and all waste material such as branches, twigs, leaves and wood chippings. Stockport Tree Surgeons will assess the tree in question, taking into account the available space and possible damage that might arise from such a procedure. Often a sectional fell is preferable to keep lawn and plant damage to a minimum. Ropes and lowering devices may well have to be used, especially if space is limited. Branches and logs would then be removed unless otherwise requested.
Branches can be turned into woodchip for gardens and logs can be cut into movable pieces for firewood for our log clients in Manchester. No part of the tree is wasted. Once the stump is cut to ground level it will be drilled and treated to prevent regrowth. We always carry out a thorough cleanup procedure.
Tree Pruning
Tree pruning is the removal of selected branches from a tree. There are quite a few types of pruning we assess the appropriate type of branch pruning for each tree. Here are a few pruning examples Stockport Tree Services provide.
Formative pruning
Formative pruning is used on young trees to provide good shape and structure. It entails the removal of dead, diseased, crossing, damaged branches and side branches from the lower third of the main stem. It is often done in the winter on deciduous trees, but this varies. We ensure that the tree grows back in a natural and healthy way.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning is the removal of selected branches within the crown, this will increase light and reduce wind resistance. With this procedure, we maintain the natural shape of the tree whilst reducing foliage density.
Crown Thinning is normally done to a percentage of the base tree and from secondary branches. More branches are removed from the outside of the crown to maintain a good structure.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is sometimes known as tree shaping. It differs from crown thinning because it is the reduction of the size of the canopy as opposed to its density.
When reducing the crown of a tree, we keep the natural shape of the crown. Excessive removal of the tree canopy can lead to a variety of problems for the tree in question, so our professional tree surgeons would go through all the viable options with you regarding this procedure.
Crown Clearing and Dead Wooding
This is the removal of dead, damaged, diseased, and broken branches from the tree’s crown. We provide this service to because such branches can present a real danger to people and property nearby.
Crown Lifting
The removal of lower branches from a tree to increase light and also allow access for people or vehicles. In some cases, crown lifting is carried out to prevent people from climbing into trees and damaging them. Especially in Parks and public gardens.
Hedge Trimming
The reduction of the height and width of hedges to maintain a good shape and prevent light loss.
We provide a full hedging service to keep your hedges in tip-top condition. Whether your hedges are Privet, Box, Hawthorne or evergreens, Stockport Tree Services can help.
Don’t be tempted to prune tall hedges yourself, this can lead to serious injuries. Call the professionals.
Pollarding Trees
This is the practice where a tree is maintained to a specific height. Traditionally trees will have been maintained at a height of twenty to thirty feet. A large maturing tree, such as Lime trees or Willow Trees can be kept small when pollarded. Using this method, a trees water uptake can be reduced. It is also used as a way to keep Tree branches from growing into Telephone wires, and from obscuring the view of public buildings such as churches, museums and large houses.
Stump Grinding
The removal of the root bowl or stump with a stump grinder. Although we offer this service as part of tree felling, we do not cover stump grinding as a standalone service.
