I just wanted to say thank you so much to Rob and his team for coming out to rescue my daughter’s kitten who, on her first weekend out, climbed to the top of the tallest tree and was too scared to come down. After a very anxious and upsetting few hours, we got in touch with Rob and he was able to come out and rescue our beloved Willow Pinky. My daughter was in tears earlier and is now one very happy girl, and Willow Pinky is snoozing away on the sofa. Thank you so so much Rob!! More...

We've had the team here twice over the last few weeks. Their professionalism and attention to detail is so refreshing, they really listened to what we wanted and communicated well with us. We really felt that our garden was in good hands. They worked their socks off for us here today and for that we’re extremely grateful. Would definitely recommend and we’ll certainly have them back for more jobs in the future. More...

Rob has done an excellent job in replacing our old garden fence that had been taken over by Ivy. I can’t recommend Rob enough, he worked so hard in removing the old fence which turned out to be a nightmare. Very punctual, reasonably priced and would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you once again, we now feel like we have completely new garden and can’t wait to enjoy summer in it. More...

Robert and Kirsty installed a picket fence on our boundary today, and I am really pleased with it, it looks so much better than I anticipated. I can highly recommend Holmes Tree and Garden Services, right from Robert’s first visit to quote Robert had a can do attitude and carried that through to the end of the job. Thank you 😊 More...

Rob carried out a number of jobs to our nursery garden in Westcroft including repairing our picket fence and screening aswell as creating a new barked area for the children to sit in, read stories and have snack in the warmer months. He was very friendly, polite and engaging with the children who were very curious about the work he was doing. He made sure the outdoor environment was left safe and secure and kept his work space neat and tidy. He was professional and did an amazing job. We would definitely recommend. More...

Pollarding
Tree pollarding is a much heavier style of reduction or pruning that takes the main branches of the tree back to its re growth points. Pollarding is usually carried out in late Winter/ early Spring when the trees sap is at its lowest point and is carried out to promote vigorous young regrowth. Pollarding of trees requires regularly repeating and maintaining to prevent from overgrowth and damage.
Crown Reduction
A crown reduction is where we aim to reduce the overall size of the tree on average by around 25% to reduce the weight on individual branches and stress in the tree. Crown reductions enable the tree to be more suited to its environment, reduce the level of shading and allow for healthy regrowth of the tree. Crown reductions are usually carried out in late Winter/ early Spring depending on its species, growth rate and conditions.
Crown Thinning
Crown Thinning is a process of removing branches from the internal sections of the trees canopy, reducing the weight on heavy limbs, removing dead branches and allowing more light to come through into the areas surrounding the tree. Crown thinning will not change the overall shape of the tree but ensures a more balanced and healthy structure.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting is the removal the lowest branches of the tree that extend out from the trunk. Crown lifting is carried out to create space between the base of the tree and the branches, reduce the weight in the tree and allow more light to pass through the branches.
Fruit Tree Pruning
Fruit tree pruning is a process of removing branches of the tree back to their growth points, removing smaller limbs altogether or removing shoots, buds and leaves. Pruning fruit trees keeps the tree productive, controls its size and encourages vigorous regrowth of flower and fruits. Fruit trees should be pruned yearly, during late Winter or early Spring while the tree is still dormant.
Deadwooding
This is where we remove any dead wood from the tree that may be rotten or diseased. Deadwooding enables the tree to appear more healthy and attractive and prevents falling branches. Deadwooding should be carried out to prevent further disease and rot from spreading into the healthier part of the tree and is best carried out to most trees in spring.
Tree Removal
Tree removal is a process of removing the whole tree to floor level via climbing or use of Mobile Elevated Working Platform. Tree removal is usually carried out due to diseased, rotten or dead trees. Trees may also be removed if it has outgrown its environment, is causing structural damage or it presents a danger to people or property.
Tree Felling
Tree felling is a method of tree removal, usually carried out in large open fields to prevent damage to property. Tree felling maybe carried out to stop the spread of disease, improve safety or to make way for construction sites.
Site Clearance
Site clearance involves the complete removal of overgrown trees, hedges and shrubs to create space, change the way the space is used, install fencing or make way for property development or similar.
Ivy Capping and Removal
Ivy capping is the cutting of ivy to prevent it from growing but leaving it in suite to die off naturally. Complete removal is where the root and all ivy is removed to give a new look and prevent further growth.
Hedge Maintenance
Hedge maintenance is carried out to encourage growth, maintain its health by removing diseased or dead parts and create an attractive appearance. We recommend that new hedges are trimmed once a year during late Winter/ early Spring and established hedges are trimmed twice a year, once in early Spring and once in early Autumn, this ensures they can be kept dense and compact and keep their appearance.
Hedge Removal
Hedge removal is the process of removing the whole hedge, usually when dead, diseased or rotten. Hedges may also be removed if they have become too overgrown or a fence in required in its place.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is a process of removing the base of a tree after its removal to below the ground level using a specialist machine with a high speed disc of teeth. A stump grinder is able to grind away stumps and roots of any size into small chip which can then be backfilled into the hole or removed completely for you to fill how you choose. Once the stump has been ground out, the area can be reused if necessary for turfing, re planting, fencing or similar. We recommend waiting for at least a two-week period before re turfing, planting or fencing so that the ground has time to settle and mulch down. Our owned Predator 38x tracked stump grinder is versatile and can be used in a wide range of terrain and in all weathers to remove small, large or multiple stumps including those that may be tricky to reach!
