Tree works to achieve a client’s aims
Often it may be difficult to decide on the best way to manage your trees. Different species, the conditions and the time of year can all influence the best approach to maintenance and care. We aim to provide advice that is suitable to your aims, budget and the health of the tree.
A careful approach
We deal with all types of trees: from Leylandii in the back garden to specimen trees in grand locations. Each tree and its care can have a dramatic effect on the surroundings and those who live there. We often receive calls from people who are suffering the consequences of having a tree poorly pruned in the past; unfortunately, it is then usually too late. It is therefore important to think carefully about the best approach to tree maintenance, based on each context and situation.
Subtle and sympathetic pruning
At The Good Tree Company we are specialists in subtle and sympathetic tree pruning. We will often achieve the client’s aims (e.g. reduce encroachment, improve light or reduce hazards) by carrying out tree works which to a passerby would be unnoticeable: i.e the trees appear to retain a natural habit. Gardens can be opened up, trees revealed and their beauty enhanced.
Large tree maintenance and dismantling
We also specialise in large tree maintenance and dismantling. If a tree has to be removed it may require especially careful dismantling to protect valuable or otherwise important structures beneath the tree. In these situations we can use a variety of specialist techniques to ensure extra care, and safely and efficiently remove the trees.
Air spading
We also offer the specialist work of air spading. The air spade can be used to reveal the whereabouts of roots in order to work around the tree without damaging it. This tool is not widely available but can play an important part in preserving and improving the health of your trees.
