We plant new trees and take care of them by watering and pruning as they develop. When necessary, we carry out essential maintenance and remove any dead or dying trees.
We conduct regular inspections of our trees to ensure they remain healthy and safe. We collect data on our trees using the Ezytreev™ tree management software. Any work highlighted during these inspections will be carried out by our fully qualified and experienced in-house arboricultural team.
Our ongoing tree maintenance will typically include but is not restricted to:
We cannot guarantee the clearances will be maintained at all times as the trees will grow back.
Our pruning methods are based on the best arboricultural practice. The overall size of a tree's crown will only be reduced if necessary to meet our maintenance standards or to address structural issues identified during a tree inspection.
Trees typically do not need pruning to stay healthy. In many instances, excessive pruning can lead to issues such as early decline or excessive regrowth, which may require more intensive maintenance.
We always aim to plant replacement trees where a tree has had to be removed, and if suitable we may plant more than one replacement. Planting is done over winter months (November to the end of March) as this is the best planting time.
We water our newly planted trees for a minimum of a year, but depending on weather conditions a young tree may need watering for the first 3 years. You can help ensure healthy trees for the future over the summer months by watering any young trees near you. Watering is best done early morning or in the evening, especially during hot dry periods.
