SECTION FELLING A BIRCH IN SHARSTON

July 29th, 2010

This Birch was growing far too close to the fence. It had to be removed before it started damaging it

The trunk is brought down in manageable sections.

The pieces are thrown into the garden.

The remainder of the trunk is felled onto the lawn.

POLLARDING A BEECH IN CHORLTON part 2

April 17th, 2010
This beech tree in Chorlton had been pollarded over 30 years ago. The new growth had developed into a substantial crown that was completely over-shadowing several small gardens below. The neighbours all agreed that they would like the crown brought down to a manageable size that would let more light into all their gardens. The tree was pollarded less severely than the previous time and several forks were left to allow access to the crown that would develop in the future, keeping it manageable.



HEIGHT REDUCTION OF A LIME IN HALE

April 10th, 2010

This tall lime tree at the end of the garden was blocking out light and becoming too large for its surrounding location so a height reduction by drop crotching was done to maintain a natural looking shape whilst allowing more light into the garden.
