We always remain current with the latest industry standards and only use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the smooth execution of all projects we undertake.

Whether tree crowning or even deadwood removal or pruning is required, you can rest assured that LM Tree Surgery Southampton will enhance your trees’ health and wellbeing and help to protect them against pests, diseases, and potentially hazardous conditions.

Along with promoting tree growth, correct tree maintenance also has the advantage of decreasing the likelihood of your property or the surrounding areas becoming damaged by potential falling branches or uprooted trees during harsh weather or heavy rainfall. There is no question that professional tree surgery goes above and beyond aesthetic purposes.

The benefits of tree surgery in Southampton

Tree surgery offers a wealth of benefits; these include potentially increasing the value of your home due to improved aesthetics of your garden or landscape and also there are safety benefits by reducing top-heavy trees where branches are under too much stress, thus potentially leading to damage when they snap.

Tree surgery requires an understanding of tree biology, their life cycles, indicators of health issues, and the art of responsible tree care. The process typically commences with a survey to understand the tree’s current status; then any diseased or damaged branches are removed using pruning or trimming tools as required. Healthcare measures, such as disease treatment or fertilisation, may also be recommended. Our objective is to assess the tree’s condition and try to prolong its lifespan while minimising potential environmental disruption.

Safely removing a tree demands a significant amount of skill and expertise, and you can have complete confidence in the team’s capabilities at LM Tree Surgery Southampton. Our tree-felling service is of the highest standard, and tailored to our client’s specific needs. Depending on your circumstances, we can provide expert guidance on the most appropriate course of action, whether it involves removing deadwood or diseased trees. Throughout the process, our commitment is to minimise any disruptions.

Tree felling is a very common service we offer that involves cutting down trees and removing them from our customer’s properties. This may be necessary for various reasons, including safety concerns, clearance for construction projects, or improving your landscape’s appearance. Whatever the reason, it’s essential to understand the basics of tree felling before getting started. 

What is tree felling?

Tree felling is performed by one of our dedicated arborists with years of experience and knowledge in understanding tree structures and best practices for removing them from their locations. Tree felling techniques involve either de-limbing a tree or directly cutting the trunk. These techniques require specialised equipment such as chainsaws, chippers or winches, depending on the size and condition of the tree being removed. 

Trees need to be felled responsibly to minimise soil erosion and habitat destruction. This means preserving surrounding trees, plants and wildlife while only removing what is necessary to create the desired outcome.

The process of tree felling

At LM Tree Surgery Southampton, we are experts in tree felling. We’ll carefully assess the environment to evaluate various factors such as the species of tree, nearby hazards, and the clearance required for safe removal. We will then begin cutting down the tree precisely using specialised chainsaws, hand tools or machinery to ensure no additional damage occurs. Once the tree has been felled, we will remove it from site either in sections or by using our specialist chipping machine. We can completely remove the stump left over using our high-powered stump grinding machine, leaving you with a blank canvas.

Reasons to fell your trees

Felling trees can be an essential part of taking care of your property. Whether you’re preparing for a construction project or looking to improve the appearance and health of your garden and surroundings, the operatives at LM Tree Surgery Southampton are equipped with the knowledge, experience and equipment necessary to remove any unwanted trees entirely. Additionally, regular maintenance from expert arborists helps ensure the safety and strength of surrounding trees by identifying potential hazards such as deadwood and misaligned branches. 

Those looking to optimise their land’s potential may find that felling trees is a practical solution to unveil sunlit spaces that are otherwise challenging to access and maintain. In addition to making room for new planting beds or outdoor features like patios, strategically removing selected trees can also enhance the usability of green areas. Whatever your reasons for considering tree felling, it’s imperative to consult with specialists before taking any action. We provide complimentary surveys and are always available to discuss your needs.

Crown Reduction in Southampton

At LM Tree Surgery Southampton, we have the knowledge and skills to address all your crown thinning requirements. When you’re confronted with trees on your property that are becoming overcrowded or posing safety risks, opting for crown reduction to lower their height and spread is essential.

Applying crown reduction methods, particularly for tree varieties like maples, can also reduce sap production. 

Our highly-trained experts are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality of service. When performing a crown reduction, we always strive to retain the natural aesthetic beauty of the tree while removing any dead or diseased branches. We will usually begin by gaining an overall view of the tree crown and then prune back extensively to thin out any dense areas. We also perform intentional shaping to balance out a lopsided crown. Depending on the situation, we may also insert metal frameworks (such as copper rods or braces) into strategic points and pruning techniques to create more volume and achieve the desired shape. As specialist tree surgeons, you can always trust us to ensure your treen crown lifting needs are taken care of quickly and efficiently.

After crown reduction, ensuring your trees are kept healthy and safe is a top priority. It’s essential to immediately address any newly exposed areas of the tree, especially where branches have been removed, as these spots are more prone to infection. Firstly, it’s vital that all cuts made to the tree during the crown reduction process are correctly sealed using a pruning sealer or wound dressing. If applicable, mulch should be applied around the base of the tree and any other exposed areas of the root system – this will help protect against weed growth and provide insulation and resource availability to keep your tree in good condition. Finally, bacterial diseases must be monitored during the following few years. If you suspect your tree may be suffering from infection or disease, contact LM Tree Surgery Southampton as soon as possible so we can come by and offer an expert diagnosis.

For all your crown reduction needs, LM Tree Surgery Southampton are here to help. We will work with you to determine if crown reduction is the right solution for your tree and then walk you through the process so that you know what to expect. After we are finished, we will provide you with aftercare instructions so that you can keep your tree healthy and happy for years to come. Give us a call today to schedule a free site survey.
