Arborists are responsible for keeping trees in check but also promote healthy growth. A chainsaw is not the best tool to use on a tree that is growing in a way you don’t want. For example where once it was considered perfectly acceptable to ‘lop’ trees by cutting down parts of the main stem to leave stubs we know now that this can stunt trees, or encourage decay and fungi that can spread to other trees. We don’t lop trees. Instead, we prune by removing the right amount of crown at the right times and at the right places. That way you get the tree shape that you want, but with healthy tree growth going forward. That approach underlies everything we do, including work like tree removal and stump grinding. We always aim to preserve your property but also do right by the trees themselves – because we believe it’s in everybody’s interests.
