Every tree is different. Our approach combines proper arboriculture knowledge with careful climbing, rigging and cutting techniques so the work protects the tree, the property and everyone on site.
Tree felling should always be carried out with the right planning, equipment and experience. Whether a tree is diseased, unsafe, storm damaged or simply in the wrong location, we assess the safest and most effective way to remove it.
Large trees in tight or high-risk locations need sectional dismantling using proper climbing systems and rigging. Our qualifications and equipment mean big jobs are handled safely, methodically and cleanly.
From assessment to a clean, tidy finish, we remove unwanted, dangerous or dying trees and take all waste with us — leaving your garden or site ready to use.
Crown reduction helps reduce the height and spread of a tree while maintaining its shape, health and structure. Ideal for trees that have outgrown their space, are blocking light or need careful management.
Crown lifting removes lower branches to raise the canopy — improving access, increasing light and clearing buildings, roads and pathways without harming the overall tree.
Crown thinning removes selected branches evenly throughout the canopy so more light and air passes through the tree, while keeping its natural shape intact.
Correct pruning encourages healthy growth, removes weak or crossing branches and protects the long-term structure of the tree. Timing and cut placement matter — we get both right.
Trees that have been badly cut in the past, storm damaged or grown unevenly can be carefully reshaped over time to restore balance and long-term health.
Dead wood in a mature tree is a real safety risk. We climb, inspect and remove dead, dying or hanging limbs to reduce the chance of damage and injury below.
After heavy weather, damaged trees can be unpredictable. We assess quickly and make the tree and area safe before completing any further reduction or removal work.
Fallen, split or leaning trees need urgent, controlled attention. With the correct qualifications and equipment we respond calmly, work safely and clear the situation properly.
A tidy hedge sets the whole property off. We cut, shape and finish hedges of any size and clear every last leaf before leaving site.
Overgrown hedges can be brought back to a manageable size and shape without shocking the plant, provided the reduction is done at the right time and in the right way.
Left-behind stumps are trip hazards, regrowth risks and a nuisance to work around. Our stump grinding removes them below ground so the area can be reused.
For species that stubbornly regrow, appropriate stump treatment prevents suckering and re-shooting after removal.
Clearing overgrown gardens, plots or development sites is heavy work. We handle the trees, hedges and undergrowth and leave the site properly cleared.
With UA1 and UA2 power line training, Woods Tree Specialists has the knowledge required for specialist tree work near overhead lines. Safety and correct working practice are always the priority.
Some trees need cherry picker access rather than climbing. The owner is fully MEWP qualified, so we can reach and work safely on trees where a platform is the right tool.
