Chipping and mulchingHow We Plan Tree Work Safely
Assess the Site
We check the tree, access, buildings, services, ground conditions and any council or ecological constraints.
Choose the Method
The plan may use climbing, rigging, a digger, loader, stump grinder, Hiab or a combination of equipment.
Complete and Tidy
Material is chipped, removed or left as mulch and firewood by agreement, with the work area left tidy.
Unsure whether a tree needs removal?
We do not recommend removal simply because it is the largest job. Pruning, weight reduction or retaining the tree may be the better option. We will explain the practical choices during the assessment.
