Tree Surgery Knowledge

We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the biological and physical structures within the tree and where possible we seek to provide non-invasive measures which can help to increase their safety and longevity. These include;

Non-invasive flexible restraints (Cobra Bracing)

Many tree species such as Beech and Cedar can become susceptible to biomechanical faults such as included bark unions, which may fail, causing damage to the tree and to property beneath. Bracing can significantly reduce the risk of limb and stem failure and therefore help to increase the longevity and aesthetical value of the tree.

Soil aeration

Along with water and nutrients, the fibrous root system of the tree requires lots of oxygen. Compacted soils are common in urban environments and often lack sufficient levels of oxygen as a result. This can lead to significant canopy dieback and reduced vitality. This can be addressed by pumping oxygen into the soil by using specialist equipment known as an air spade. Once the oxygen levels of the soil have increased the health and vitality of the tree are often amplified.

Mulching

The addition of organic materials such as woodchips to the area beneath the canopy of the tree can help to suppress weeds, retain moisture levels and increase soil fertility. All of these factors can increase vitality in a cost-effective way.
