Why?

Leylandii trees can be a real burden to most peoples lives and have a massive impact on your garden. This tree is no exception, not only does it dominate the garden it is planted in it also causes a massive headache for the neighbours. Which is never a good place to start if you all want to enjoy your own bit of the outdoors. It is a well known issue that lack of natural sunlight causes people to feel all sorts of effects, so the last thing anyone wants is to be plunged into darkness even in the middle of summer.

Where do you even start with tree removal?

First things first, access. We started by getting permission for the adjacent neighbour to use their driveway so we could gain better access to the tree and it would also allow us to fully tidy up after ourselves later in the day.

Secondly, we make sure we all know whats important, and that’s safety, always. We do a full rundown of how we will all safely remove the tree. You may ask “how many different ways are there?”, quite a few in fact. Tree removal is fairly straight forward for someone who is trained but there are many ways to go about the removal. In this instance the only safe way was to dismantle the full tree under rope and harness all the way to the ground.

On to the fun bit, getting on with the job. We had the fully canopy off the tree and out of the gardens within a few hours and fed through our chipper and carted away for recycling, the next part takes a bit longer. Dealing with all the timber not only takes time it also makes quite a lot of sawdust, and this tree was no exception as it towered some 50ft+ tall and was over 2ft wide at the base.

Once all the timber was cut and the tree was no more its time to tidy up, a combination of sheer arm work with a rake and brush gets most of it up, then a final polish with the blower clears more debris up than we tend to create.

How do you leave a job once you’re done?

All in all both gardens and the roadway outside were left cleaner than we arrived, which is always something we pride ourselves on.

As this was a tenanted property the final thumbs up came from the landlord who was very pleased with his decision to remove the tree and the job we had done for him.

Fallen Poplar Tree Clearance

Our client once had a fairly mature Lombardi poplar tree in the rear of their garden which has stood the test of time for nearly 50 years, the unfortunate current storm Ciara had other ideas, the nearly 70+ mph winds which came in from the West, which is an unfamiliar direction for the UK, normally experiencing Southerly or Northern winds. This coupled with its advanced age and what we discovered during the clean up of the aftermath, a quite serious Ganoderma infection. Ganoderm is a genus of polypore type fungi which is a white-rot type fungi with enzymes that decay the lignin and cellulose within the plant structure, which make the wood both strong and flexible. In our case the strength of the oncoming wind overcame the residual strength left within the structure of the tree, therefore it failed by fracturing at the basal area and effectively uprooted itself.

As this was an unforeseen accident which the homeowner couldn’t of stopped they decided to claim through their home insurance to cover the costs of the clearing up. We have become well versed in liaising with insurance companies over the years and in this case we provided our client with a detailed quote covering all the works which were to be carried out and our findings of what had occurred and possible reasoning why the tree had fallen, and to show there had been no foul play.

In total we had four gardens to clear, including the making good of the neighbouring trees including the what was left of the stump to allow a new boundary fence to be erected.

All in all a very successful job.

Potentially Dangerous Tree Removal – Mansfield, Nottingham

Just to quantify the reasoning behind why we choose to remove trees, this semi-mature oak in Mansfield looked perfectly fine on face value but was effectively two trees. The twin stems had grown irregular and were actually fighting against each other. The stem was two trees growing simultaneously together with no actual joint between them, eventually they would have pushed so hard against each other one would of failed, and in a garden surrounded by sheds and out building would of been disastrous. Unfortunately it’s time had come.

This work was undertaken for a private landlord in time for the new tenants to move in.
