Professional Tree Removal and Tree Felling in Guildford and throughout surrey

Tree Surgery

If you need a team of NPTC-qualified tree surgeons in Guildford, Surrey, or the local area, get in touch with the experts at Gristman Tree Surgery Ltd. Tree surgery is important as it ensures trees are kept healthy and the environment is thriving. This involves techniques such as crown thinning and reduction, stump removal, pruning, and foliage removal to name a few. This process can help prevent the spread of disease and maintain safety in nature. We want to encourage the healthy growth of trees where possible, and we’re more than happy to work on projects in conservation areas or on land with tree preservation orders (TPO).  Based in Surrey and operating since 2004, our hard-working team of tree surgeons have a wealth of experience and knowledge behind them, giving you complete peace of mind that you’re receiving the best service possible. To find out more, please visit the About Us page, or get in touch with us today. 

Safety-First Services

Although we always try to preserve the lives of healthy trees, safety remains our paramount concern. Our goal is to eliminate the dangers that affect the safety of property and people. We use sectional dismantling to fell dangerous trees, and by efficiently rigging and lowering sections of the tree, we ensure safe tree removal. After felling, we use specialist machinery to remove stump remnants and make surrounding areas as safe as possible.

Tree Surgery

Crown Lifting

The crown lifting procedure covers the removal of lower limbs and prepares for the removal of other branches in the future. It's also used to reduce the weight of a tree and allow more light to pass through the branches.

This service is perfect if trees are preventing light from getting through, or if they’re obstructing traffic or pedestrians, contact our knowledgeable team today for further
information as to how we can help you.

Tree Surgery

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning allows for the removal of secondary branches to achieve uniform limb structures without affecting the size or shape of a tree. The process improves light penetration and lowers wind resistance.

Crown Reduction

Tree surgeons use crown reduction to reduce the size of the tree's overall canopy, which is the natural spread and height of the tree crown. The process sees the ends of selected branches removed practically without compromising the tree shape, and can help minimise the possibility of pathogens and disease infecting the tree.

Tree Surgery

Pollarding

Traditionally, pollarding refers to the removal of limbs and branches from the trunk. If a mature specimen hasn’t undergone the procedure in the past, it’s unwise to use it in the future due to the large wounds that can endanger long-term tree health.

A more up-to-date definition of pollarding covers the regular cutting back of small branches on an annual or biannual basis to form a pollard head at a specific point.

Tree Surgery

Formative Pruning

Formative pruning establishes a solid branch structure or creates a desired shape during the earlier years of tree growth. It also corrects weaknesses and defects as early as possible to prevent problems from arising in the future.

Drop Crotch Pruning

Tree surgeons use drop crotch pruning to shorten branches by pruning back to a lateral limb. The remaining limb must be a minimum of one-third in diameter of the removed section.

Branch Removal

Tree surgeons sometimes recommend branch removal to eliminate potential hazards, improve lines of vision, or allow access for vehicles and machinery. This is often done in conjunction with detailed surveys and an arboricultural report.

Deadwood Removal

Deadwood removal is a procedure that sees dead limbs and branches cut from the tree canopy. The process covers everything from small branches to the biggest limbs and creates safer woodland environments for people and wildlife.

Target Pruning

The target pruning method is an overall pattern of care that focuses on the needs of the tree, directing pruning by removing material that is no longer contributing to the tree’s health or beauty.

Deadwood includes:

Deadwood includes

  • Shade-out Die Back

  • Damaged Wood

  • Rubbing and Crossing Branches

  • Narrow Crocheting Structures

  • Root Crown Shoots

The largest cuts are made first. As the deadwood is removed the tree is reduced to a more sustainable form and it is easier to assess its needs. This is a continuing process throughout the pruning. As material is removed, the tree is observed and more corrections are identified.

Tree Felling Guildford

This is the complete felling of a tree to ground level and often includes the careful removal and lowering of branches to minimise impact. Rigging techniques and equipment help the work team to do this safely. Cranes are used in situations where it is otherwise not possible to safely remove trees and branches.

Tree Stump Removal in guildford

Stump removal may be done by hand or machine, depending on size. It is not always appropriate to remove every stump, as they provide an important habitat for some endangered UK insects, including stag beetles.
Stumps infected with honey fungus should always be removed to avoid the propagation and spread of this aggressive pathogen.
