Tree Pruning
Trees in residential properties often outgrow their surroundings and it becomes necessary to maintain them. It is with skill and care that EJM can safely execute tree pruning protocols in order to maintain your trees.
Crown Thin
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
Crown Lifting is the removal of the lowest branches, good practice dictates crown lifting should not involve the removal of large stems from the trunk, as this can cause large wounds which can become extensively decayed. Common reasons for crown lifting are to allow more light clear and give access over paths and roadways.
Crown Reduction
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 reduction is often used to reduce mechanical stress on individual branches or the whole tree. The final result should retain the main framework of the crown, and so a significant proportion of the leaf bearing structure, and leave a similar, although smaller outline, and not necessarily achieve symmetry for its own sake.
Crown Dead Wooding
Crown Dead Wooding involves the removal of weak, dying or broken branches to prevent hazard, removing only those that pose a risk. Durability and retention of deadwood will vary by tree species.
Pollarding
Pollarding is the removal of branches from the trunk, usually removing the top of a young tree to encourage multistep branching from that point. Once pollarded trees will require regular treatment for re-growth.
Tree Pruning
Unfortunately trees can become ill, or so big that they become a danger or nuisance. Removing a tree especially in a confined space requires a lot of skill and precision, EJM are able to with years of know-how and up to date equipment ensure that this is done in the safest possible way.
Tree Felling or Dismantling
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.
Ash Die Back
Ash dieback, also known as Chalara dieback of ash is a serious disease that is killing ash trees right across northern Europe. Usually fatal, it causes leaf loss, lesions on the bark and dieback of the tree crown. There are several key signs to look out for on ash trees but as all of these symptoms can also be caused by other problems, it is important to take expert advice such as that offered by EJM Tree Services. The full impact of ash dieback is not known yet as it is believed that while young trees succumb and die quickly, mature trees may resist infection for some time before weakening and eventually dying.
Stump Grinding
Our up to date equipment allows the removal of trees stumps with the minimum of ground disturbance. We tackle any size of stump, from just a few inches up to the largest stump imaginable. We grind the tree stumps and surface roots to 300mm below ground level which allows replanting or ground preparation for just about any purpose.
Grindings are generally left in the hole for settlement.
Site Clearance
With the necessary equipment to operate safely and efficiently, we can undertake site and scrub clearance from small private gardens to large development sites. Our team and equipment provide a safe and efficient work site, minimising risk and promoting health and safety at all times. All operatives are CSCS qualified and EJM is CHAS & Constructionline ‘Gold’ Approved.
Other Tree Services
We can extend our services beyond just tree surgery. Several of our team have extensive professional qualifications to provide consultant level advice on appropriate tree management. We offer tree planting and hedge management too.
Tree Surveys
EJM can arrange for a qualified Arboricultural Consultant to undertake tree hazard assessment surveys both on a domestic and commercial basis and make recommendations for remedial management if need be, implement a tree safety policy and specify any works that require attention.
TPO & CA Applications
A Tree Preservation Order or Conservation Area Restriction is a legality which must be adhered to, and many people can find the procedure of applying for consent somewhat daunting and confusing. EJM can help make this simple for you by contacting the LPA on your behalf and submit the forms on your behalf to obtain consent.
Tree Planting
Planting a tree in your garden is a decision requiring forethought and planning. Consideration must be given to the surrounding landscape and buildings, space available, soil type and location of the particular site. We are able to assist in the selection, planting and more important first few years maintenance which is crucial to ensure establishment.
Hedge Cutting
Regular trimming on an annual basis helps to maintain hedgerows. August is the optimum time for this to be done as this will not result in very much new growth for the following nine months, giving the maximum period of neatness.
Fencing
We deliver a high standard of timber fencing for both Domestic and Commercial Customers. Using locally sourced materials of high standards, we are able to supply and install the following styles of fencing:
- Closeboard
- Latch lap panels
- Picket
- Post and rail
- Agricultural fencing
- Timber gates and posts
