Tree Surgery and why it is important

Tree surgery is a broad term that describes multiple services we offer throughout Bury St Edmunds which help ensure the health and safety of your trees, shrubs, and other plants. As professional tree surgeons, we are equipped with all necessary striking tools, aerial aids, climbing equipment and more to carry out delicate operations while maintaining the well-being of your trees. From selective crown reductions to corrective pruning and removal of deadwood, the operatives at Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons have the expertise to provide a range of services to boost tree protection against diseases, pests and hazardous conditions.

In addition to promoting tree growth, proper tree maintenance decreases the chances of property damage caused by falling branches or uprooted trees in severe weather or during flooding. As such, professional tree surgery services go beyond aesthetic purposes; they help safeguard trees from preventable damage.

The benefits of tree surgery in Bury St Edmunds

Tree surgery is an invaluable service for people living in Bury St Edmunds, providing them with a wealth of benefits. From the safety aspect of reducing branch overhangs that could cause damage to a property to increasing the value of a home due to improved aesthetics of your garden or landscape, tree surgery comes with many advantages.

Tree surgery is an important and challenging task with which we have vast experience. It requires a great deal of knowledge and skill to understand the biology of trees, their productive life cycles, signs of health adversity, and how to take care of them properly. The process typically begins with an assessment phase to understand the tree’s current status, followed by using appropriate pruning and trimming tools and removing any diseased or damaged branches where necessary. Afterwards, healthcare, such as disease treatment or fertilisation, might be recommended. We will assess the condition and then act accordingly to extend the trees’ lifespan while minimising environmental disruption in a safe manner.

Tree Felling in Bury St Edmunds

Tree felling is a very common service we offer that involves cutting down trees and removing them from our customer’s properties. This may be necessary for various reasons, including safety concerns, clearance for construction projects, or improving your landscape’s appearance. Whatever the reason, it’s essential to understand the basics of tree felling before getting started.

What is tree felling?

Tree felling is performed by one of our dedicated arborists with years of experience and knowledge in understanding tree structures and best practices for removing them from their locations. Tree felling techniques involve either de-limbing a tree or directly cutting the trunk. These techniques require specialised equipment such as chainsaws, chippers or winches, depending on the size and condition of the tree being removed.

Trees need to be felled responsibly to minimise soil erosion and habitat destruction. This means preserving surrounding trees, plants and wildlife while only removing what is necessary to create the desired outcome.

The process of tree felling

At Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons, we are experts in tree felling. We’ll carefully assess the environment to evaluate various factors such as the species of tree, nearby hazards, and the clearance required for safe removal. We will then begin cutting down the tree precisely using specialised chainsaws, hand tools or machinery to ensure no additional damage occurs. Once the tree has been felled, we will remove it from site either in sections or by using our specialist chipping machine. We can completely remove the stump left over using our high-powered stump grinding machine, leaving you with a blank canvas.

Reasons to fell your trees

Felling trees can be an essential part of taking care of your property. Whether you’re preparing for a construction project or looking to improve the appearance and health of your garden and surroundings, the operatives at Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons are equipped with the knowledge, experience and equipment necessary to remove any unwanted trees entirely. Additionally, regular maintenance from expert arborists helps ensure the safety and strength of surrounding trees by identifying potential hazards such as deadwood and misaligned branches.

For those looking to maximise their land’s potential, felling trees can open up sunlit spaces that are difficult to reach and maintain. Beyond making room for new planting beds or outdoor features like patios, removing selected trees can make room for more usable green space. No matter what reasons you have for considering felling your trees, it’s important to consult experts before proceeding with your plans so that you can make informed decisions about their removal. We offer Free surveys and will be happy to discuss your needs at a convenient time.

Crown Reduction in Bury St Edmunds

Crown reduction is reducing the overall size of a tree’s canopy. This can be done for various reasons, including reducing the risk of wind damage, improving the tree’s appearance, or allowing more space between nearby buildings or power lines. If you’re considering crown reduction for your tree, read on to learn more about the process and what you can expect.

Crown reduction is a pruning technique used to reduce a tree’s crown’s overall size and density. Crown reduction can help to improve the growth of other branches by giving them more light and air exposure. Using crown reduction techniques on certain trees, such as maples, can also help reduce their sap production. At Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons, we have the experience and ability to care for all your crown thinning needs throughout Bury St Edmunds.

At Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons, our highly-trained experts are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality of service. When performing a crown reduction, we always strive to retain the natural aesthetic beauty of the tree while removing any dead or diseased branches. We will usually begin by gaining an overall view of the tree crown and then prune back extensively to thin out any dense areas. We also perform intentional shaping to balance out a lopsided crown. Depending on the situation, we may also insert metal frameworks (such as copper rods or braces) into strategic points and pruning techniques to create more volume and achieve the desired shape. As specialist tree surgeons, you can always trust us to ensure your treen crown lifting needs are taken care of quickly and efficiently.

After crown reduction, ensuring your trees are kept healthy and safe is a top priority. It’s essential to immediately address any newly exposed areas of the tree, especially where branches have been removed, as these spots are more prone to infection. Firstly, it’s vital that all cuts made to the tree during the crown reduction process are correctly sealed using a pruning sealer or wound dressing. If applicable, mulch should be applied around the base of the tree and any other exposed areas of the root system – this will help protect against weed growth and provide insulation and resource availability to keep your tree in good condition. Finally, bacterial diseases must be monitored during the following few years. If you suspect your tree may be suffering from infection or disease, contact Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons as soon as possible so we can come by and offer an expert diagnosis.

For all your crown reduction needs, Bury St Edmunds Tree Surgeons are here to help. We will work with you to determine if crown reduction is the right solution for your tree and then walk you through the process so that you know what to expect. After we are finished, we will provide you with aftercare instructions so that you can keep your tree healthy and happy for years to come. Give us a call today to schedule a free site survey.
