Whether your garden is dotted with trees, bordered by hedges, or boasts one or more feature trees, there are always things that you can do to improve its health and sustainability.
The role of a tree surgeon is to cover tree care and maintenance, keeping these structures in optimum health so that they are both safe and aesthetically pleasing. Often this includes mild pruning and crown reductions, though sometimes it can mean something more significant like pollarding or even tree felling and removal.
With that in mind, here are three tree services in Essex that can improve the health of your garden as a whole.
1. Crown Reduction
Crown reduction refers to a process where the main crown of the tree is cut back – balancing the spread of the branches and exercising control over how large and wide the tree grows. This has several impacts when it comes to the health of your garden, ensuring that a growing tree does not monopolise the local resources or shield other plants from all-important sunlight.
This process is selective and is therefore best carried out by a team of trained tree surgeons who can identify the weaker branches and make sure that they are cut right back. Without this attention to detail, branches can fast grow out of control and pose a risk to those in the immediate vicinity beneath the tree.
2. Tree Removal
It might feel drastic, but sometimes removing a tree is the only way to reset your garden and ensure that the rest of the wildlife and plant life has sufficient hydration and sunlight.
What’s more, if you have trees in your garden that are not native and are not designed to grow and thrive in your garden’s environment, then they may be doing more harm than good. In these instances, felling the tree and removing the stump can be the best approach to long-term garden management.
3. Vegetation Management
An overarching service label, vegetation management is something that varies from client to client depending on the environment and on the way in which it is being used. For a domestic garden, vegetation management covers hedges and border plants, tree maintenance, and more.
The aim of this kind of service is to ensure that the ground remains manageable for the client or homeowner. Whether you call on tree surgeons for a regular service or as a one-off, the aim is always to optimise the health of everything in the garden by re-balancing the spread of resources and the ecosystem.
All of these services complement each other and can be combined with other services including stump grinding, tree planting, crown lifting, site clearances, and more. For a full selection of services and to discuss the availability of local tree surgeons, get in touch with your local team.
