Tree Felling or Dismantling is the complete removal of a tree - this process is always carried out in a safe manner and the trees surroundings are taken into account when the tree is removed, either by dismantling or use of a winch to ensure safe direction of fell.
Dead, Dying, Dangerous or Nuisance Trees are hazardous and pose a significant risk to public, buildings and roads. Any tree posing this problem is removed in safest conditions.
Crown Thin is the removal of a small portion of secondary and small live branches to produce an even spaced branch structure. Thinning also involves crown cleaning and does not alter the size or shape of the tree. Common reasons for crown thinning are to allow more light to pass through the tree or lessen weight on heavy branches.
Crown Lifting is the removal of the lowest branches, however this should not involve the removal of large stems from the trunk. Common reasons for crown lifting are to allow more light clear and give access over paths and roadways.
Crown Reduction is carried out to reduce the height and spread of the tree's crown by removing the end of the branches whilst maintaining its original shape.
Crown dead wooding involves the removal of weak, dying or broken branches to prevent hazard.
Pollarding is the removal of branches from the trunk, once pollarded trees will require regular treatment for re-growth.
Coppicing is traditionally carried out on certain species of tree, primarily Hazel or Sweet Chestnut - it is when a tree is cut down to approximately 12inches of the ground to allow regeneration.
Please note that many trees are legally protected, felling or even just pruning a protected tree without permission from the Local Planning Authority may be a criminal offence. It is best to always check for Tree Preservation Orders or Conservation Area restrictions with your local council's Tree Officer and/or planning department before carrying out any works.
