Tree Felling & Dismantling

Tree felling and dismantling are two methods used in arboriculture (tree care and maintenance) to safely remove trees, particularly large or hazardous ones. Both processes are crucial for managing tree health, clearing space, or ensuring safety in urban and rural areas.

Pruning, Reductions, Thinning

Tree pruning, reductions, and thinning are important techniques in tree care that help maintain tree health, shape, and safety. These methods involve selective cutting and removal of certain parts of the tree, such as branches or limbs, for various reasons like enhancing tree structure, reducing hazards and improving aesthetics.

Pollarding

Tree pollarding is a pruning technique where the upper branches of a tree are removed to control its size and shape. This method encourages the growth of a dense head of foliage and branches while keeping the tree at a manageable height. Pollarding is typically done on young trees and is repeated at regular intervals throughout the tree’s life to maintain the desired shape and size.

Removal of dangerous trees

Removing a dangerous tree, often referred to as hazardous tree removal, is a delicate and complex task that requires proper assessment and the use of specialised techniques to ensure safety. A tree may be considered dangerous if it is dead, decayed, leaning precariously, damaged by storms or growing in a way that poses a risk to people, property, or utility lines.

Our team is specialised in tree management using cranes and heavy machinery that might be needed in a larger operation. Have peace of mind knowing that Hawkins Tree Services are heavily experienced and insured.
