    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.

How do I know if a tree is dying?

A dying tree can exhibit several signs, but it's essential to remember that some signs may also indicate stress or other problems that are treatable. Here are some common indicators of a dying tree:
  • Extensive dieback: Large portions of the tree's crown are dead, with no signs of new growth.
  • Severe bark damage: Large sections of bark are missing or severely damaged, exposing the inner wood.
  • Root decay: Mushrooms or conks growing at the base of the tree, indicating fungal decay in the root system.
  • Leaning precariously: The tree is leaning significantly and showing signs of instability.
  • No leaves or buds: During the growing season, the tree is completely bare of leaves and shows no signs of new buds forming.
  • Woodpecker holes: While a few woodpecker holes are not necessarily a cause for concern, numerous holes can indicate insect infestation or decay within the tree.
It's essential to consult with a certified arborist to confirm whether a tree is dying or can be saved. They can assess the tree's condition, identify the cause of the decline, and recommend the best course of action.

What is the best way to protect trees during construction?

Protecting trees during construction projects is crucial for preserving their health and preventing damage. Here are some key steps to take:
  • Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): Establish a designated area around the trees that is off-limits to construction activities. The size of the TPZ depends on the tree's size and species, but generally, it should extend to the drip line (the outermost edge of the tree's canopy).
  • Root Protection: Avoid digging, trenching, or compacting the soil within the TPZ. If excavation is necessary, use hand digging or air spading to minimize root disturbance.
  • Trunk Protection: Protect tree trunks from damage by wrapping them with protective barriers, such as burlap or plywood.
  • Branch Protection: Avoid cutting or damaging branches unless absolutely necessary. If pruning is required, have it done by a certified arborist.
  • Watering: Ensure trees receive adequate water during construction, especially if the soil has been disturbed or compacted.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor trees for signs of stress or damage during and after construction.
Consulting with a certified arborist during the planning stages of a construction project can help ensure the protection of valuable trees on the site. They can provide expert advice on establishing TPZs, minimizing root disturbance, and mitigating potential impacts on tree 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 are the most common tree problems?

Trees can be affected by a variety of problems:
  • Diseases: Fungal, bacterial, or viral infections that can weaken trees, cause defoliation, or lead to death.
  • Pests: Insects or other animals that can damage leaves, branches, bark, or roots, weakening the tree and making it more susceptible to disease.
  • Environmental Stress: Drought, extreme temperatures, poor soil conditions, or pollution can stress trees, making them more vulnerable to pests and disease.
  • Mechanical Damage: Wounds caused by construction, lawnmowers, or vehicles can create entry points for pests and disease.
  • Structural Defects: Weak branches, cracks, or cavities in the trunk can weaken the tree's structure and make it prone to breakage.
  • Improper Pruning: Incorrect pruning techniques can damage trees, create wounds, and make them more susceptible to disease.
Regular inspections by a qualified arborist can help identify and address tree problems early, preventing further damage and maintaining tree health.
