  • The Skye Man Tree Services

    Linlithgow, Champany Corner, EH49 7LT, GB

    ESTABLISHED 20 YEARS FREE ESTIMATES EMERGENCY CALL OUT STUMP GRINDING 100% OF THE DEBRIS WE REMOVE IS RECYCLED TREE REMOVAL & FELLING DIRECTIONAL TREE FELLING : Where space and safety permit the tree can be felled in one piece. DISMANTLING : Also known as Sectional Felling>>> Very often space is limited and the tree must be taken down piece by piece. if the area below the tree is clear and free from obstructions the cut branches can simply be allowed to fall. When branches are too large or heavy for the climber to hold and throw clear or obstacles prevent their free falling, then lowering ropes must be used. CROWN REDUCTION Complete reduction of the size of the tree. By careful removal of the crown to produce a smaller sized canopy. This is very specialist work, normally no more than 30% of the total tree should be removed at any one time unless safety is an issue. Branches should be removed to growth points wherever possible. CROWN LIFTING The removal of lower branches to lift the height of the crown. DEADWOODING The removal of dead branches, to reduce the hazard of them falling onto buildings, vehicles, or the public. POLLARDING The removal of all branches leaving just the trunk. Pollarding is not aesthetically pleasing initially. this can only be carried out on certain species. Pollarding is an extreme form of tree surgery which requires regular upkeep. THINNING This involves the reduction of the density of the crown. This would not normally be carried out on conifers, so it is generally confined to deciduous broadleaf trees. STUMP GRINDING EMERGENCY CALLOUT We are also available for emergency callout to deal with any potentially dangerous situations as quickly as possible. If this is the case we will put safety first and prioritise urgent work in order to ensure the welfare of the tree and the surrounding environment. As with all estimates there is no callout charge. Please inform us if your situation is urgent and should you accept our estimate we may be able to deal with problem immediately.

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.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

While the terms 'tree trimming' and 'tree pruning' are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference:
Tree Trimming: Primarily focuses on improving a tree's appearance. It involves selectively removing branches to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve clearance for structures or utilities.
Tree Pruning: Focuses on maintaining or improving the tree's health and structure. It involves removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to prevent the spread of disease, encourage new growth, and improve the tree's overall vigor.
In practice, trimming and pruning often overlap, and a skilled arborist will usually combine both techniques to achieve the desired results for your trees.

Why do tree roots grow above ground?

Tree roots growing above ground, also known as surface roots, can be caused by:
  • Shallow Soil: In areas with thin or compacted soil, roots may not be able to penetrate deeply and instead grow near the surface.
  • Soil Compaction: Heavy foot traffic, construction activities, or vehicles can compact the soil, making it difficult for roots to grow downward.
  • Low Oxygen Levels: Roots need oxygen to survive, and in poorly drained or compacted soil, they may grow near the surface to access more oxygen.
  • Seeking Nutrients: Roots may grow towards areas with higher nutrient concentrations, which can be near the surface in some cases.
  • Tree Species: Some tree species are naturally prone to surface roots, such as maples, willows, and poplars.
  • Age: As trees age, their root systems expand, and some roots may naturally grow closer to the surface.
Surface roots can pose tripping hazards, damage sidewalks or driveways, and interfere with mowing. Addressing underlying issues like soil compaction or drainage can help prevent excessive surface root growth.

What is the best way to kill a tree stump?

The most effective way to kill a tree stump is through professional stump grinding. This process involves using a specialized machine to grind the stump down below ground level, effectively killing it and removing the visible portion.
Other methods, like chemical stump killers or burning, can be less effective, time-consuming, and potentially harmful to the environment. Chemical stump killers can also pose a risk to nearby plants or contaminate the soil. Burning stumps is often prohibited due to fire hazards.
Stump grinding is generally the safest, most efficient, and environmentally friendly method for removing tree stumps. LocalTreeSurgeon can connect you with qualified tree service companies offering stump grinding services in your area.
