Tree Services & Stump Removal
CROWN THINNING
Crown Thinning involves the removal of smaller
branches, usually on the outer part of the crown of the tree. Thus, this is to create an evenly balanced foliage density and branch structure.
Our team removes branches systematically and methodically. Further, this should not exceed more than 30% of the overall volume. The overall shape of the crown will not change.
CROWN LIFTING
Crown Lifting involves the removal of the whole or part of the lowest branches of a tree.
The maximum diameter of any cut during a crown lift should be 10cm or less to reduce the likelihood of potential decay and dysfunction. Hence, this can lead to further long-term problems or short-term structural instability of the tree.
CROWN REDUCTION
The ‘crown’ is the foliage bearing part of the tree and a ‘crown reduction’ is the reduction of height and or spread of the crown by a certain amount in metres.
This is achieved by reducing the crown area from the tips of the branches to suitable growth points in line with its current shape.
TREE REMOVAL
The removal of a tree is not always as easy as it sounds. Confined spaces with nearby buildings can make the taking down and removal of a tree complicated business. With the expert equipment, experience and training we have here at BTSF we can efficiently and safely carry out tree removals of any size and in any location.
STUMP REMOVAL
Following the removal of a tree or large shrub to ground level, a small proportion of the ‘stump’ of the tree remains in the ground. The removal of the stump is often the last stage of the tree removal process.
A stump can remain in the ground without causing any harm and if remaining, will be cut to ground level. However, leaving the stump in the ground may cause problems in the future such as root diseases, the occurrence of fungi such as honey fungus and suckering (where new shoots grow from the stump).
DEAD WOODING AND POLLARDING
Deadwood involves the removal of dead, broken, split branches and old stubs when considered a health and safety risk.
Pollarding is a tree maintenance technique that can be used to control tree size that involves the removal of all limbs back to the main trunk. The tree is then allowed to re-grow after the initial cutting. Pollarding then requires regular re-pruning every 2 to 5 year.
