Removing this Ash tree with a weak root plate. Showing signs of heart rot and basal decay. All on a loose steep hill side. Making this dismantle a hazardous operation, which needed a systematic, controlled approach to minimise the risk to us and property. Due to the possible sudden structural failure while on unstable terrain.
Removing this 60ft tree was crucial for safety.

Trees with unstable root plate will often lean, making them move unpredictably and can be very dangerous. thelumberjill.co.uk to ensure safe and complete service, giving you peace of mind. We offer reliable solutions and tailored to your needs

Removing a couple of branches from this over hanging Sycamore, to allow more light into this stunning, well kept garden. Using ropes to lower everything down so we could ensure no plant/ greenhouse was damaged by branch drop.
Even managed to miss the hail stone 🤠

Some before and after pictures of yesterday's jobs.

We reduced and tidy some hedges and removed a previously 'topped' cherry and a conifer which was taking all the light.

Reducing the crown of this Eucalyptus.

We decreased the weight of the leaning side, preventing potential tree failure such as uprooting, as this tree is exposed to high winds.
Our aim was to lower wind resistance and reduce stress on the root system, in the process improving structural balance.

Something a little different.
Border clearance, digging old stumps out and cleaning all vegetation. Also removing old ivy wrapped around an old fence panel.
