Sometimes even the Doctor needs a little help

We’re working on Weeley Bypass today, carrying out maintenance on a long avenue of Lombardy poplars.

The work includes a mix of reductions, along with deadwooding and removal of epicormic growth to keep the trees safe and tidy along this busy stretch of road.

We’re back in Clacton today, continuing our street tree maintenance work.
Here you can see two cherry trees being re-pollarded, along with the removal of a large dead limb on one that had unfortunately been struck by traffic.

Pollarding is a long-established method of managing trees in urban areas. Once a tree has been started on a pollard cycle, it’s important to maintain it regularly. This keeps the regrowth controlled and prevents heavy limbs from developing, which could otherwise become unsafe.

Cherries respond well to pollarding when it’s done consistently. The tree naturally produces new shoots from the pollard points, allowing it to regenerate a healthy canopy while staying at a manageable size. Over time, this can actually prolong the life of the tree, reducing stress on the structure and lowering the risk of failure in busy public areas.

Regular cycles like this are key to keeping street trees safe, tidy, and suitable for their surroundings.

It definitely feels like spring has sprung now. At 18 degrees in Colchester today, everything is starting to come to life and the leaves are properly shooting.

We’re not working on this lovely Chinese crab apple in the photos, but we do get to appreciate it while trimming back a large line of conifers nearby.

If you’re thinking about getting your garden summer ready, now is the perfect time to get those final jobs done before everything is fully in bloom.

Give us a call or message to get booked in.

We’re covering a number of jobs today across Jaywick, Frinton and Clacton, carrying out maintenance work on council-owned trees.

This particular job in Jaywick involved re-pollarding a maple tree. This is work we carry out every few years to keep the tree at a manageable size, maintain its health, and ensure it stays clear of the surrounding telephone wires.

Regular maintenance like this helps prevent larger issues down the line and keeps trees suitable for their location.

The full team is out on Lexden Road in Colchester today, working on a large holm oak.

The job involves a light reduction to maintain the tree’s size and shape, helping it remain suitable for its surroundings while keeping it healthy and well balanced.

Due to the high volume of pedestrians and traffic on this stretch of road, and the need to position a 26-metre MEWP on the pavement, we have a full traffic management and pedestrian rerouting system in place to keep everything running safely.

A well planned job in a busy area to ensure minimal disruption and a safe working environment for everyone.
