It is no secret that tree surgery is one of the most dangerous professions on the modern job market. Combining power tools and weighty equipment with working at height, surrounded by trees which are susceptible to hidden structural damage, the tasks performed by tree surgeons are varied and controlled under the utmost safety procedures.
As such, the training to become a tree surgeon is extensive – and the tasks that they are trained to carry out vary in complexity and risk.
With that said, the role of a tree surgeon is also incredibly varied, keeping every day interesting. Here are three of the services that you may not have known tree surgeons in Essex offer.
1. Removal of Tree Stumps
When you cut a tree down, you open up the flow of light in your outside space and onto your property. Not only does this optimise your own access to and enjoyment of sunlight, but it enhances the growing conditions for other plants and wildlife on your property and in your garden.
But cutting the tree down isn’t enough to remove it completely from your property. In order to reset the ground and leave it open for use again, you need to remove the tree stump – something that we do by mechanically grinding the root plate of the stump and turning it into sawdust. This sawdust can then be used as mulch in your garden, or used to fill the hole left by the tree.
2. Pruning Trees
As we transition from Winter and into the warmer months of Spring, now is a good time to plan your tree pruning ready for the dawn of the Summer season.
Tree pruning is essential for long-term tree health and structural integrity, with trees usually demanding attention every 3 to 5 years. A professional tree surgeon can not only carry out the pruning work itself, safely navigating the height of the tree and the use of mechanical equipment but can also identify the work that needs to be done to keep the tree in good health.
3. Advising on and Supporting Tree Planting
Finally, did you know that tree surgeons are perfectly primed to advise on the best trees to plant, and where and when to plant them?
With experience in native species, in navigating complex ecosystems and biodiversity, and with specific knowledge about the different species and how they work together in one outside space, tree surgeons can recommend which trees to plant in your outside space.
They can then recommend a cycle of maintenance and tree care, optimising growth while keeping the aesthetic look of your garden in balance.
All of these services are designed to support the look and sustainable health of your outside space and can be accessed via your local tree surgeons. Simply give the team a call to discuss availability and to learn more about tree care and maintenance.
