Apex tree Service offers a range of domestic, commercial and utility tree services including:

Tree removal

This involves the complete removal of a tree from the site. The tree may be felled where there is sufficient room to do so safely but more usually a tree will be taken down in sections with the use of lowering ropes.

Formative pruning

This is the process of training young developing trees to produce a framework of strong, evenly spaced stems or branches. Early intervention involving the removal of crossing branches can help to reduce future structural problems.

Crown reductions

This involves reducing a percentage of the overall mass of the tree by carefully removing the ends of the branches evenly throughout the crown, leaving a balanced and maintained shape.

Crown lifting

This is the removal of the lower branches of the crown of the tree. It can improve the shape of the tree and is also often used to create more space beneath the tree.

Crown thinning

Crown thinning is the careful removal of selected internal branches throughout the crown of a tree. It is done to reduce the density of the crown and to allow more air and light into the tree’s canopy. It may also be used to reduce ‘sail effect’ minimizing the chances of the tree blowing over in strong winds.

Dead wooding

Dead wooding involves the removal of dead wood from the tree; this is done for both aesthetic and safety reasons.

Pollarding

Pollarding involves the severe pruning of the tree’s branches back to the trunk. This method of tree management is usually used to prevent the tree achieving full size.

Hedge care

This service includes trimming and tidying your hedges and can also involve the reduction of the height and width of the hedge as required.

Storm damage clean up and emergency call outs/removal of dangerous trees

This service is often needed following severe weather when trees have fallen or are left in a dangerous situation. Apex Tree Service is available for such emergency work on a 24 hour basis.

Tree surveys and assistance with tree preservation orders in conservation areas

Some trees may be protected by law. We can help to find out whether your trees are protected and liaise with the council on your behalf.
