Tree surgery in Cullompton is crucial for making your life a little more comfortable and easier. At Stuart Brown Tree Services, I help you get the most out of the trees in your spaces, whether you have a garden or are in charge of a complete industrial estate.
A tree surgeon helps you manage the trees on your property. I help identify the steps you can take to achieve your aims and put them into practice. The result? Better space utilisation, better trees and better enjoyment.
I deliver a range of tree surgery services, from simple trimming and pruning to felling and removal.
One of the most common requests I get is to simply remove a tree from an area. In some cases, it’s simple: Put a cut into the tree, fell it and clear up the result. In other cases, I take a more measured approach, slowly reducing the tree using careful cuts and ropes to safely take it down. Ultimately, the overall approach depends on the surrounding area and the obstructions that affect tree removal.
Crown reductions are the next step down in many ways. Instead of felling a tree, I simply reduce the size of it, pruning the branches back so that they occupy less space. This results in a smaller overall size, making it more manageable. Often this reduces the risk of it falling, and it can eliminate issues with it touching the side of buildings or interfering with cables. In other cases, I might thin the tree, removing a few larger branches to reduce the impact of the tree while preserving its overall shape and size.
Some trees require regular pruning, notably fruit trees. Depending on the species, this might happen in spring, summer, autumn or winter. Typically, I climb the tree, removing dead and crossing over branches and bring the tree to the desired shape. Pruning can promote fruit generation in a smaller space while also reducing the overall amount of fruit and leaves that it produces.
Leylandii and thuja trees are usually a major cause of concern as they can grow out of control very quickly, reducing light. As a tree surgeon serving the Cullompton area, I can climb, reduce and remove the waste, bringing these fast-growing trees to heel. Quick action now can help you recover your hedge and get it looking great in 12 months time.
Cullompton has a mix of rural and urban properties, which presents a variety of challenges to tree management. A tree that looks great in the CCA Fields may look utterly out of place in a small garden along Headweir Road or Padbrook. Tree surgeons must consider the area in which the tree is situated along with obstructions such as telephone wires, sheds, fences, roads and other houses. In addition, I think about access, parking and even how to manage the highway. All of these aspects differ whether you’re in Uffculme, Willand, Hele or Cullompton itself.
As a trained and experienced tree surgeon, I ensure that the job is done safely and professionally, giving you peace of mind.
A large source of tree surgery work is through recommendations. However, not all tree surgeons are equal.
Always make sure that a tree surgeon has insurance that covers tree surgery. If it doesn’t explicitly state tree surgery (or arboriculture), they may not be covered for major jobs, so if something does happen, you could be out of pocket. I carry £5 million in public liability that covers all the work I do, whether I’m in Bradninch or Langford.
In addition, your tree surgeon should have current qualifications, usually City & Guilds or LANTRA. I have City & Guilds qualifications that cover the work I do, ranging from chipping and chainsaw maintenance to climbing and tree felling.
Finally, a professional will always aim to minimise disruption to wildlife. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, we have an obligation to check for active nests and ensure that our work doesn’t unnecessarily harm wildlife.
Tree care services don’t have to be expensive. If you want to talk about your options, give me a call, use the contact form or send me a message on WhatsApp. You’ll get a trained professional who delivers great results every time.
