Commercial Services

Trees and other arboreal services aren’t just for woodlands and orchards – if you have trees and other greenery on your commercial or business property, our commercial arboreal services are exactly what you need.

Being proactive in taking care of the trees on your property will keep them healthy, beautiful, to size and, most importantly, safe. 

Trees are often forgotten in the whirlwhind of running a commercial property. Whether it is a small residential job or a big industrial development, public sector or a private firm, we’ll work with you to ensure the trees on your property are thoroughly serviced and assessed, and will be there if you need us in an emergency – no matter what.

Tree Felling

Sometimes a tree needs to be completely removed, from root to crown. This can be done in several ways depending on the environment and situation, from felling to dismantling in sections. Preparation is key to tree felling. We will plan the felling from start to finish, ensuring the right tools are used and the tree is felled safely and efficiently.

Technical Dismantles

When a tree needs to be felled, the automatic assumption is that it'll be chopped down in one dramatic swing with an axe. “Dismantling” a tree is more common, and normally much safer than felling.

An ideal technique for dead, dangerous trees, or trees in urban and enclosed areas, dismantling a tree involves removing limbs and small sections of the tree in stages, carefully removing pieces and safely lowering them to the ground for removal.

This technique often requires elevated work platforms, pulleys, ropes and other tools to complete it efficiently and securely.

Tree Pruning (Reductions, Thinning, Pollarding, Deadwooding)

Tree pruning is a specialist job - a deliberate, thoroughly planned and low impact procedure that achieves a number of things – removing diseased wood and branches, shaving off limbs for better light, lines of sight or aesthetic, and controlling the density of tree growth. Proper tree pruning encourages beneficial re-growth, and so the tree’s overall health and size will be taken into account to calculate what can be safely pruned.

Pruning is, of course, highly recommended for fruit trees to maximise healthy fruit production.

Site Clearance

It is common for all arboreal services to generate natural waste products – we can remove unwanted debris and waste from your site.

Planting

Expertise and experience is vital in successful planting - after all, trees planted now will likely still be there decades from now, so choosing the right plants for the location, conditions, soil type and usage will make all the difference in how long they last and how well they do. We will take into account what already exists in the space and work with you to select the right materials, and establish long term management plans as needed, whether it's a single sapling or a larger woodland area.

Highways Work

We have specialist knowledge and expertise in performing highway work, from winding little b-roads to expansive dual carriageways. If you’re concerned about a tree near a road, please get in touch.

Emergency Call Outs

Inclement weather and bad luck doesn’t keep a schedule. We offer an emergency call-out service throughout West Somerset for damaged and windswept trees and general arboreal storm damage. While we will endeavour to get to you as soon as we can, please factor in travel times.

If a tree is giving you cause for concern after a storm, contact us straightaway for a tree survey.

Works for Local Authorities, Councils, Trusts, and Charities etc

Planning applications and planning approvals can be complicated when trees are involved. We consult with local councils and authorities to provide detailed information about affected trees and how they might impact proposed building works. We can also consult on Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Areas to ensure trees are protected and impact to any construction work is as limited as possible.

Estate Management

All management projects’ successes stem from a professional plan rooted in experience and expertise, from initial site visits and risk assessments to long-term management and business plans. We have the knowledge, expertise, experience and tools for all situations and long-term goals, whether we’re diving into a project headfirst or starting a new one from scratch, whether the woodland is for conservation, recreation, sport or commercial timber production.

Tree Pruning 

Reductions 

By removing specific branches and limbs, the tree’s total size can be reduced for aesthetic or weight purposes.

Thinning

Thinning involves removing specific branches to “thin” the tree down to appear less cumbersome without dramatically altering the tree as a whole.

Pollarding

Commonly used to maintain willows, this method involves removing all upper branches down to the trunk to reinvigorate the tree and control re-growth shape and direction.

Deadwooding

This is the removal of dead, dying, diseased or broken elements of a tree.

Tree Surveys and Inspections

Individual Tree Inspections

Tree inspections are important surveys carried out in public and private areas. The inspections herald a full report that can be used to decide what to do next – leave the tree be, perform some maintenance, crown thinning, pollarding, or felling as necessary. The physical dimensions, age, health, potential growth and location of the tree will all be taken into account.

These are often required when applying for planning permission to see how trees may impact a proposed development.

Woodland Surveys

Woodland surveys are critical pieces of work undertaken to paint a full picture of the woodland in question, enabling us to draw up fully informed and targeted management plans without guesswork or estimates. 

Management Plans

Our management plans lay out solid, well-informed and targeted blueprints for keeping projects on track, whether the woodland in question is simply being maintained or radically changed. Having a plan keeps long-term goals in place, co-ordinates the project and ensures materials, time and resources are used to best effect.
