Crown Reduction
Crown reductions include the reduction of the width and the height of the tree whilst keeping the root system under control.
Crown Thinning
Common reasons for Crown Thinning are to allow more light to pass through the tree, reduce wind resistance with maintaining the shape and size of the tree.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting involves removing the lowest branches of the tree to allow more light below the tree or to improve access. No more than 15% of the crown height should be removed leaving the crown to make up at least two thirds of the tree’s total height.
Tree Felling
If trees are damaged, diseased or invasive, removal may be the best or only option. We will leave the area clear and tidy ready for replanting or regeneration.
Dead Wood Removal
Dead-wooding is the removal of any non-living branches and stems from the tree to avoid any risk of danger should it fall. This is particularly important in areas where people may walk, play or drive underneath.
Tree Preservation Order Application
A Tree Preservation Order is an order made by the local planning authority in England to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands in the interests of amenity.
Lumber-Jacks Tree Services are able to apply for the approval of any tree work on your behalf. A tree officer will come and review the tree and make a decision within 6-8 weeks. A tree with a Tree Preservation Order will need approval before the work can commence.
