Height reduction of poplars at primary school

This recent job involved us working for a local primary school. They were worried about their row of Poplars originally planted as wind break along their park boundary. These trees had been left to grow tall and spindly with cases of branch break outs and large diameter deadwood present.

It was agreed that they should be reduce in height by approximately a third. This way it would remove the ‘sail affect’ and reduce the chances of stem failures. The result was a row of very neat, tidy and most importantly, safe Poplar trees!

We even received a lunchtime snack from Town and Country’s little helper!

Removal of two storm damaged pines in dangerous site

Although relatively resilient to strong winds, trees will occasionally succumb and the result can be dramatic.

Having received a phone call from a very worried customer, I popped over to insect his Pine tree and what can only be described as leaning at a very precarious angle! Upon inspection, it was clear the tree could not be climbed and a cherry picker was the only way to safely dismantle the tree.

We hired a narrow access tracked MEWP which allowed us get up close to the tree and undertake the works efficiently. There were numerous high value targets underneath so it was important that care was taken from start to finish. The job went as well as hoped. The tree was safely dismantled with minimal damage and the site left clean and tidy.

One happy customer!
