CROWN
REDUCTION
Reducing the canopy of a tree (or crown reduction) has many benefits:
-
Manage the height and size of the tree, whilst keeping it's natural shape where possible
-
Compensate and encourage re-growth in a declining tree
-
Reduce the effects of shading or light loss
If you'd like to discuss crown reduction for your tree, simply arrange a site visit and we'll talk you through the options.
TREE FELLING
Is your tree dead, dying, diseased, dangerous or simply in the wrong place?
We're experienced at felling trees, especially large trees growing in areas where they cannot be felled in one section. Instead they require to be dismantled one branch at a time, lowering with ropes or via access platform. This is a complex process that requires highly skilled decision making and good judgement!
As part of this service we can also remove the stump up to 300mm below ground level.
Check out the images below of a large cedar tree being felled and dismantled.
CROWN THINNING &
DEAD WOODING
If you need more light to penetrate through the tree and to decrease its wind resistance, crown thinning is a good option. Crown thinning is a pruning technique where tree branches are selectively thinned in order to reduce the overall density of a trees crown.
Thinning is often performed on trees that:
-
Are of high amenity value
-
Are broadleaf species
-
Have dead wood that is unsightly or a threat to play areas or property
We can easily advise on which option is best for your trees, just drop us a note to arrange a site visit.
STUMP GRINDING & STUMP REMOVAL
While a tree stump may look harmless, they can cause a number of problems that should be addressed. Tree stumps can also be an eyesore and take up valuable space on your property.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider removing tree stumps:
-
Tree stumps take up valuable space, can be unsightly and damage the visual appeal of your garden
-
Can become a trip hazard for children, pets & visitors to your garden
-
The tree stump may regenerate and continue to grow, even after the tree has been felled
-
A decaying tree stump can become a breeding ground for fungus, insects and other pests
Lowland Trees have a team of qualified and highly experienced specialists providing stump grinding services across central Scotland. Get in touch today!
