Tree surgery is an integral aspect of the cultivation, management of trees, and shrubs. Arborists continually focus on the health of individual trees, shrubs and plants. A tree surgeon is a horticultural operative who is responsible for the maintenance and repair of trees. This often includes the climbing of trees to reach the area that needs attention. Wallace Contract prides itself on having the knowledge and expertise along with state of the art equipment to help maintain and manage your Tree stock.

Crown thinning
Crown reduction is a process that involves reducing the size of a tree’s overall canopy. This can be achieved by pruning its branches evenly throughout the entire crown. Any broken or dangerous deadwood is removed and crossing branches are pruned. This minimises any chance of infections within the tree in the future.

Crown lifting
Crown lifting is a process encompassing the removal of branches from lower parts of the trees crown. This lifts the overall height and allows more light to penetrate through the branches and reach the lower crown.

Tree Felling
On some occasions, a tree surgeon will find that a tree may need removing completely. If the tree is large, or in a restricted area, the surgeon must climb the tree to dismantle it in sections. This ensures a safe, controlled and calculated fell.
-
Tree stump and root removal
Once a tree is removed, it is often required that the stump and roots are removed separately. A straightforward service can be used here, involving a stump grinding machine that destroys unwanted parts left in the ground. In other situations, the stump removal is not necessary, which means that it will be treated to ensure that re-growth does not occur.

Hedge trimming and reduction
Hedge cutting can often be more difficult than it looks, which is why many people opt for professional hedge trimming and reduction services. If left neglected, or the hedge is cut back too heavily, it will result in a bare and unattractive hedge line. This takes time to fully recover and is not wanted in areas with high upkeep standards.

Tree Pollarding
Pollarding is traditionally a woodland management method. However, recently it has become one of the processes involved in arboriculture. This practice involves the removal of all branches and limbs, meaning that only the trunk and major limb frameworks are left. This allows the tree to re-grow and look much more attended to.

Tree branch and limb removal
Without fully reducing or lifting the crown, a tree’s branches often need removing. This is if they cross or have extended themselves over set boundaries. This process does not seek to remove large parts of the trees, but only the parts necessary, in order to ensure a healthy stability for the tree.
-
Deadwooding
As a tree grows, some branches tend to die back naturally. This is why trees should be regularly expected and maintained. Deadwooding is a process undertaken to ensure safety, especially in public areas.
