Tree pruning can improve the health and longevity of your trees, as well as improving shape and maintaining a more manageable size for your property.
Reducing the tree also allows more light to fall on the ground below, invigorating understory vegetation and increasing biodiversity.
Ash dieback is a serious fungal disease, detected in the UK back in 2012 it is now widespread. The fungus causes rapid or gradual crown dieback and can also attack the root collar of susceptible trees. A susceptible ash tree may take many or only a few years to eventually die depending on site conditions, as well as size and genetic make-up of the tree.RISK TO BUILDINGS, HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC
Dead or dying ash trees can pose a danger to highways, buildings as well as the general public. They are particularly hazardous as their deadwood can become very brittle and can break unexpectedly.

Site clearance involves the removal of all organic and inorganic materials, generally completing to a specification of finished soil. We are fully equipped to remove all vegetation types including large stumps, along with sorting and disposing general waste and structures. We create a blank canvas ready for regeneration and development, our site clearance services can also be used to remove undesirable vegetation in natural areas.
Our clearance teams generally utilise 360 excavators, skid steers and other tracked carriers to conduct the bulk of clearance and material sorting works. These machines can use a range of attachments such as grabs, shears, flails, rakes, rippers, brushes and tillers to improve the efficiency of clearance and preparation tasks. Materials are processed with chipping and shredding equipment to maximise material recyclability. We also possess as full suite of site investigation equipment CAT scanners and drones to conduct pre-work site investigation services.
Site clearance begins with a survey to determine work requirements and establish a work plan. Duration depends on site size and vegetation type/density, presence of other hazards or toxic products will also increase clearance time. Small lots and single gardens can often be cleared in just one day whilst larger multi-acre sites with complex requirements can take up to a few weeks.
