Tree Surgery

Carrying out a tree removal demands precision, ensuring it falls safely without harming nearby property or plants. Large trees are often carefully dismantled, with each section lowered by rope to protect the surroundings and guarantee a controlled descent. When Storm Fern carries out tree surgery, we ensure first and foremost that a tree needs to come out and will offer several alternatives if they present themselves, regarding both the environmental and ecological imapct.  

 Tree cutting is vital for a tree's health, enhancing its strength, longevity, and overall balance. Pruning can address various needs, such as removing dead or diseased branches, improving air circulation, promoting new growth, reducing height, or shaping for aesthetics. It's also crucial for ensuring sunlight reaches surrounding plants and shrubs, and for lightening a tree's load to minimize damage from strong winds and storms. Tree surgery aims to lengthen a trees life and improve the safety of its environment. 

 Tree stump grinding is often necessary for removing obstructive stumps, whether for renovation, construction, or eliminating trip hazards. Grinding the stump down ensures that the root system is effectively killed, preventing regrowth. In certain situations, we may opt to drill holes or make deep cuts with a chainsaw, applying poison to ensure complete eradication.

If deadwood in the tree crown poses no risk, we recommend leaving it intact, as it plays a vital role in tree ecology, offering valuable habitat for birds and insects. However, if the deadwood is hazardous and cannot be stabilized, removal is necessary. In such cases, we suggest creating a habitat pile at ground level (space permitting) to provide alternative shelter for insects. Our arborists will assess each situation individually and advise on the most appropriate course of action, often leaving tree cutting or tree removal as a final resort.

A comprehensive, professional tree inspection requires the expertise of a fully qualified, experienced arborist or tree surgeon.

Our specialists conduct thorough ground and, when necessary, aerial inspections to assess: weak forks, cavities, fungal growth, storm damage, bracing needs, wildlife habitats, biodiversity and signs of disease. 

This detailed evaluation ensures the health and safety of your trees and surrounding environment. From this we can determine whether tree removal, or tree cutting needs to take place.
