Stump Grinding
This process removes unwanted stumps and surface roots allowing the re-use of the land area they occupy to enable turfing, re-planting, to allow building works or to assist in the prevention of disease and contamination.
Utilising a number of specialist machines, we can remove single garden stumps or multiple numbers of stumps across a site down to a below surface depth of approx. 300mm. The woody material from the stumps is mixed with the surrounding soil during the grinding process to form a biodegradable mulch.
Hedges & Screening
Hedges create an important structural feature within the garden or landscape. They provide privacy, define boundaries, offer screening and shelter. Different species and styles of hedging have differing maintenance requirements in terms of their specific pruning techniques, frequency, seasonal timing and tolerance. We can assist in all aspects of planting, establishing, maintaining, shaping and renovating hedges.
Tree & Shrub Planting
We can source, supply and plant trees & shrubs. We offer an advisory service to assist clients select the most appropriate species for any given location whether it be in a garden, parkland, commercial site or woodland planting.
A comprehensive after-care service is available for all newly planted stock to provide the best possible chance of establishment in the early years.
Historic Trees
“A Veteran tree … is a tree which, because of its great age, size or condition is of exceptional cultural, landscape or nature conservation value”
The UK contains around 80% of northern Europe's ancient trees. The safeguarding and management of these trees for their unique amenity, biological value, landscape heritage and for the enjoyment of future generations, requires a specialist understanding of tree biology and sensitivity towards their associated ecosystems.
We have extensive experience within this area of arboriculture, having worked extensively upon a specialist project involving an irreplaceable collection of some of the oldest and most valuable trees within North Yorkshire.
Horticultural Services
To compliment our core services we offer a selection of related horticultural services including the seasonal pruning of ornamental shrubs, fruit trees and climbers. This encourages attractive, well shaped and healthy plants which provide greater ornamental value, flowering or fruiting displays. Correctly undertaken pruning can also be used to improve structure, regulate growth, renovate neglected shrubs or be used to train a plant for a specific form or effect.
Please contact us for further details of our range of horticultural services we offer.
Pre- Development Vegetation Removal
By utilising modern, specialist machinery we are able to efficiently and cost effectively remove unwanted vegetation to facilitate building projects. Relevant Health and Safety documentation can be supplied to ensure compliance, satisfy main contractor selection systems and to protect our client's interests.
Woodland Management Operations
We undertake all aspects of woodland management operations from creation and planting, general maintenance and improvement works, thinning, vegetation clearance and control, through to low impact operations within ecologically sensitive sites. |
The main purpose of pruning is to ensure that plants remain healthy and vigorous, free of disease and structural weakness. Pruning also aids the development of a strong branch framework, influences shape and size and can be used to enhance ornamental features such as bark, foliage or flowers.
We undertake all aspects of tree pruning in accordance with the criteria of British Standard 3998 (Recommendations for Tree Work). We will advise on the available options for any given tree. Typical pruning techniques include: reducing of canopy size, thinning of foliage density, raising of the lower canopy, reshaping to improve general visual appearance and symmetry, formative pruning, storm damage restoration and canopy renovation or deadwood removal.
Ultimately a tree or shrub may require removal.
