Established over 25 years ago, our team here at Longmor Valley have a wealth of experience providing all aspects of tree surgery from complete removal to pruning and cutting hazardous branches.

A diseased tree, which can die within a few months in severe cases, can quickly contaminate surrounding trees and whilst the problem causes the area to become unsightly, the health risks are also clear to see with trees becoming unstable at their roots. Due to this, you should seek the assistance of professionals as soon as possible.

Deciding to attempt to fell a tree yourself or hiring an inexperienced surgeon to carry out the removal can have disastrous consequences, from potentially fatal injury through to serious damage to surrounding grounds or property. With this in mind, you should always ensure you hire the services of professionals who are covered by public liability insurance, such as our team of specialists here at Longmor Valley.

If you had a tree in your garden that has been felled and all that remains is the stump, you may want to think about removing it. We use various techniques to do this, all of which guarantee the tree will not grow back.

When you find a tree stump in your garden it could be problematic for a number of reasons; it becomes a dangerous obstacle, could also be harbouring bacteria that will continue to grow and generally they aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing.

The two most common options that people choose see us using our machinery to ground or dig the stump out. If the stump looks like it may be growing bacteria and you are concerned about it spreading, we are able to administer poison to kill it off and you can rest assured that any stump that is poisoned will be scored and treated by a herbicide that is designed to be environmentally friendly.

Although trees are renowned for their strength and durability, there are a number of maintenance measures required to keep them in the best possible condition.

Our time in the industry makes us the ideal choice for all manner of tree maintenance and care, so read on as we take you through what our service includes.

Section Felling

If the growth of your tree has led to it posing a risk to a surrounding tree, section felling may be the solution. We are able to carry out this procedure successfully, with a guarantee that all sections removed are recycled.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is a process whereby branches of the tree are removed; this does not leave large wounds therefore making it less likely that an airborne bacterial disease will occur.

There are two main advantages to this procedure, the first being the additional sunlight that will be able to pass through the canopy and the second being the enhancement of the tree’s ability to face strong winds. This assurance that your tree is as strong as possible will give homeowners the peace of mind that sheds, security fencing and garden furniture will not be damaged by the tree during harsh weather conditions.

Pollarding

This service is not recommended by our tree surgeons as it involves removing the entire crown; however it is sometimes necessary for trees that have already been through the procedure of pollarding previously to prevent weaker re-growth.

The most effective way to keep a tree in its best possible condition is by pruning. It is of paramount importance that pruning is carried out correctly to ensure the tree isn’t at risk of damage.

Why does a tree need to be maintained?

Pruning is necessary when trees become too tall and unbalanced, which can ultimately cause a major safety risk to the surrounding areas. To eradicate any safety concerns, pruning should be undertaken to reduce the size of the tree and eradicate problems caused by obstructive, overgrown limbs.

Here at Longmor Valley, our team of specialists have devised some useful considerations for you to make before beginning the tree pruning process.

When is the best time to prune trees?

To reduce the risk of your tree bleeding sap, it is recommended you prune most trees in the winter months when they are dormant. However Maple, Birch, Walnut, Horse and Cherry trees bleed sap extensively so it is preferable to prune these trees at the height of summer to lessen the risk of damage as new growth will have had time to mature.

Tree Preservation Orders

Many older trees are protected by the TPO to ensure their lasting protection. Due to this, we recommend that before any pruning work begins on a tree, local authorities are contacted if you are unsure as to whether the tree is protected or not.

When you go about pruning your trees on a smaller scale that doesn’t require our professional services, a considerable amount of waste is likely to build up so consider skip hire for an effective waste removal service.

For further information regarding pruning and other forms of tree surgery London, please don’t hesitate to contact us using our online form or by calling us on 01689 855856. Our friendly and dedicated team look forward to hearing from you.

Tree surgery encapsulates many different ways of tending to trees in need of essential care as well as the removal of dead or highly unhealthy trees that are beyond any form of tree surgery treatment.

With so many ways of tending to trees, it is essential you call upon a highly experienced surgeon to expertly recommend the best course of action based on your expectations as well as any problems the tree may be suffering from.

There are many elements that can affect the health of your tree such as bacteria, fungus and an infestation of insects. Choosing the wrong surgeon could result in these afflictions occurring because the incisions are made by an unqualified individual. Our surgeons are all NPTC qualified and able to carry out techniques such as crown thinning that endeavour to reduce the chances of airborne infections.

Pruning should always be undertaken by a qualified and experienced individual as over-pruning can result in a perfectly healthy tree dying due to unnecessary stress. If your hedges and conifers are now too large and thick for your garden, we can perform specialist reductions to restore the trees to a more manageable and appropriate size.

In much the same way that you would call in the experts for concrete repairs should you find fault that requires its strength and longevity to be restored, the same must be done for your trees to avoid potential weakening that could pose a risk to the surrounding area.

Before embarking on controlling the spread of the disease, it is vitally important to assess the problem and uncover those trees that are infected. One of the first symptoms of infection is a sticky substance oozing from any blemishes on the trees trunk before the bark begins to peel away to expose an uncharacteristic orange tinted inner bark as the infection develops.

Trees with light to moderate infection may not necessarily need to be removed immediately unless they pose a particular risk to the infection of healthy trees. In those areas where a large number of horse chestnuts are located yet only a small number are infected, removal of the trees with the disease may well reduce the risk of infection spreading further.

Treating trees that are infected by pruning or removing small amounts may be counterproductive as wounds and blemishes can then become exposed to allow new infections to establish themselves. Due to this, a decision has to be made as to whether to remove the whole tree or wait to monitor the situation in order to gauge how the disease progresses.

Removing trees around homes and gardens can be disruptive both for homeowners and wildlife. If forced to remove trees from your garden due to disease, the introduction of a bird table is proven method of encouraging birds back to your plot of land.

With the correct management course in place, this disease that leads to bleeding canker can be restricted and the health of all trees improved. Therefore our tree surgeons Kent and those in other areas of the country are being encouraged to do all that we can to reign in the effects of the disease and reduce the number of trees that need to be culled each year.

As we head towards the summer months, most trees will now be thriving which puts them in the perfect position to recover from whatever surgery is carried out. Completing pruning at this time of year, when the tree is in its best condition, will enable it to adjust to any change in structure and seal off cuts whilst it is growing and storing nutrients in advance of the winter ahead.

If tree pruning is completed any later than the spring months, there is an increased possibility that growth will be affected. Tree pruning should be completed to remove diseased or damaged branches as a result of the previous winter in addition to helping to encourage new growth, reducing the overall height of the tree, removing any obstructing branches and developing the shape of the tree to suit the owner’s preferences. If all of these are completed, the chances of a long lasting, healthy tree are significantly improved.

Generally pruning as small amount as possible is the best rule of thumb as chopping or cutting off large amounts of the tree can cause devastating and fatal damage. Pruning to avoid overcrowding and work to combat storm damage are often larger projects that require more extensive pruning, so it is vitally important that you take the time to assess exactly where and how much you plan to prune before you begin.

With the current season being one of the most productive times for pruning, tree surgeons London and across the country will be working hard to ensure all trees are in the best possible condition for the summer and winter months to follow.
