All tree work undertaken
by A & F Tree
Services is carried
out in accordance
with BS 3998.
We always remove all
arisings and leave
work areas tidy (unless
otherwise arranged).
We have a 12"
Chipper mounted on
the front of a unimog
for the disposal of
branches and low quality
timber. We also have
a trailer mounted
loader with a timber
grapple for moving
or removing large
pieces of timber.
Tree Pruning -
Our climbing arborists
are skilled shapers
of trees with an understanding
of tree biology; this
underpinning knowledge
helps us prune trees
correctly. We undertake
various pruning operations,
here are a few: Crown
Reductions, Crown
Narrowing, Crown Lifting,
Crown Thinning, The
Removal of Deadwood
and Dangerous Branches.
Tree Removal -
Our climbing arborists
are skilled at dismantling
trees in sections
(sometimes referred
to as section felling),
both within confined
spaces and with fragile
objects beneath. We
often use the latest
rigging techniques
to help us take trees
down trees the safest
way possible. We have
plenty of experience
using cranes for tree
removal. This can
create significant
cost savings for the
removal of larger
trees.
Stump Removal -
We use 2 methods for
stump removal depending
on which is most efficient
for the job. Stump
grinding, which grinds
the stump into mulch
where lies in the
ground. We also grub
out stump with an
excavator on larger
jobs, also using a
forestry mulcher to
dispose of the stumps.
Hedge Trimming
-
We tackle any hedge,
large, small deciduous
or evergreen. We leave
them even and tidy
and even.
Cable Bracing -
If a tree has a week
branch union or other
defect which requires
support we can Cable
Brace between 2 or
more points within
the crown of the tree.
We use an non-invasive
brace called Cobra.
This stretches with
tree as it moves in
the wind. This allows
the tree to keep strengthening
itself (unlike with
a ridgid brace). If
the Cobra stretches
beyond a given point
then it holds the
the tree greatly alleviating
the chance of failure.
Root Pruning and
Root Barriers -
We can provide Root
Pruning services and
can install root barriers
to stop root systems
from enchrouching
where they're not
wanted.
Disease Treatment
-
We can diagnose most
tree diseases. Although
many diseases are
not treatable, we
will treat any disease
that is.
Tree
Planting -
We provide a planting
service from forest
establishment to planting
mature individual
specimens. Also REPS
Hedgrow Planting.
