Large Branch Removal

Large branches can be a hazard, especially during storms. Our team in Swanage can remove large branches safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of damage to your property.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting involves pruning lower canopy branches to achieve a desired vertical clearance from ground level to nearest foliage. The most common reason behind crown lifting a tree is to get the desired clearance on footpaths and highways to make sure the canopy isn’t exposed to damage from passing vehicles.

When crown lifting a tree the work should be subtle. The desired live crown left after the work has been carried out is at least two-thirds of the height of the tree.

Formative and Sympathetic Pruning

Proper pruning is essential for the health and growth of trees. Our team provides formative and sympathetic pruning services, ensuring that your trees grow and flourish.

Fruit Tree Care

Fruit trees require special care to produce healthy and bountiful harvests. Our team provides expert care for fruit trees, including pruning and disease control.

Pollarding

Pollarding is the most extreme form of pruning. The tree can be cut up to half its crown in order to retain the tree and encourage new shoots. Where possible, branches should be cut to ‘knuckles’ to encourage a multi stemmed branch pattern to form. This is commonly seen on street trees such as Lime trees or London Planes.

TPO Application Processing

If your trees are located in a conservation area in Swanage, you may require a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Our team can assist in the application process to ensure your trees are protected.
