Day out in the woods just outside of skipton. A larch had decided to partially go over due to root plate decay. With the heavy lean and the possibility of barber chairing we roped into the next tree and then sectioned everything down. The Land Rover and winch making light work of the job.

Another site ticked off our list.

Around 40 trees removed and 14 pruned at the hirst wood cemetery as part of on going restoration works. Each visit took careful planning to keep the public safe and to make sure no damage was done to any of the fragile graves.

Easter week can only mean school work for us. We headed back to Burnley for a returning customer to deadwood and crown lift several trees.

Next on the list was a large diseased beech tree in lothersdale which did have a tree preservation order on it but we did all the paperwork and obtained permission to fell and replace. A big thank you to Tks Ltd for helping out with their cherry picker, it made the whole job safe and efficient.

The weather is on the up so patio season is well under way. This little one we have just finished in riddlesden is all ready for summer.

Being riddlesden access was up three flights of steps but we still managed to rip out a rotten decking and then sort out the drainage by installing an arco drain connected to the main drain. Once all the prep work was done we installed a mixed size gold leaf Indian sandstone patio complete with titan pro joint and matching cobbles. All flags laid on full beds with backs primed for a long lasting finish.

Final job of the week was to deal with a fallen birch in a cemetery we do plenty of work for. Perfect spot to get hung up and no damage done to any of the graves.

Busy end to the week working for skipton tool hire. We regularly use them for our plant hire so when they had some dead ash and an unstable alder along the stream banking they asked us to take care of them. Very handy having access to all the toys to make a tricky job nice and straightforward

Wet and windy end of the week. Large dead sycamore in Leeds needed removing for a returning client. We handled all the tpo paperwork and managed the removal with the help of the mewp.
