    53 Straight Rd, Boxted, CO4 5RB, GB

    Here at One Man and His Log, we believe the best firewood comes from East Anglia, just like a good beer or smoked kipper. We're passionate about providing high-quality, sustainably sourced firewood to keep your fires burning bright. Since 2010, I've been sourcing hardwood logs from managed woodlands, ensuring responsible forestry practices. Our mix includes silver birch, lime, ash, and oak, all carefully processed and graded to roughly 25 cm long. We season the firewood in our airy log dryers on the family farm outside Colchester, a process that can take up to two years to achieve the perfect moisture content (below 20%). We take pride in delivering a top-notch service, from prompt communication and accurate delivery times to friendly and efficient stacking. Whether you need a full load or just a few bags, we're here to help you keep warm and cozy all winter long. So, why choose One Man and His Log?

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Find answers to common questions about tree care and hiring professional tree service companies in UK.

Do tree roots grow towards water?

While tree roots do grow towards moisture, it's not a simple case of them actively seeking out water sources. Roots grow in all directions, but they grow more rapidly and extensively in areas where they encounter favorable conditions, including moisture.
Roots have specialized cells called 'root hairs' that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These root hairs are more abundant in moist soil, so roots naturally extend more in those areas. However, roots also need oxygen to survive, so they will not grow into waterlogged soil. The direction of root growth is influenced by a combination of factors, including moisture, oxygen availability, soil nutrients, and the tree's overall health.

How close to a house can you plant a tree?

The recommended distance for planting a tree from a house depends on the tree's mature size and root system. As a general rule, plant trees at least:
  • 10 feet away from foundations for small trees (mature height under 30 feet).
  • 20 feet away from foundations for medium-sized trees (mature height 30-70 feet).
  • 30 feet or more away from foundations for large trees (mature height over 70 feet).
Planting too close can lead to root damage to foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities. It's always a good idea to research the mature size and root system of the specific tree species you're considering and consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper placement.

What is the best time of year to trim trees?

The best time to trim trees depends on the tree species and the type of trimming needed. Here are some general guidelines:
  • Dormant Season (Late Fall to Early Spring): This is generally the best time to trim most deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in fall) as they are not actively growing. Trimming during dormancy reduces stress on the tree and allows for better wound closure.
  • Spring: Light pruning and shaping can be done in spring before the tree's leaves fully emerge.
  • Summer: Trimming can be done in summer to remove dead or diseased branches. However, avoid heavy pruning during hot weather, as it can stress the tree.
  • Fall: Some light pruning can be done in fall after the leaves have fallen, but it's best to avoid major pruning before winter.
Specific tree species may have different optimal trimming times, so it's always best to consult with a certified arborist for guidance. They can assess your trees and recommend the best time to trim them for optimal health and safety.

How do I know if my tree is diseased?

Look for these signs of tree disease:
  • Leaf discoloration or spots: Yellowing, browning, or spotting on leaves can indicate fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, or other problems.
  • Premature leaf drop: Losing leaves earlier than usual or outside of the normal seasonal cycle can be a sign of stress or disease.
  • Dieback of branches: Branches dying from the tips inward can indicate disease, insect infestation, or drought stress.
  • Cankers or lesions: Sunken or discolored areas on the bark can indicate fungal or bacterial infections.
  • Mushrooms or conks growing on the trunk or roots: These are often signs of decay fungi.
  • Wilting or drooping leaves: Can indicate a lack of water, root damage, or vascular disease.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to contact a certified arborist for a professional diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
