A large dead standing larch brought down with precision between a conifer hedge and a box hedge. It was leaning towards a beautiful chateau tower so we really had to take our time!!

Dealing with damaged and windfall trees is no joke. 6 out of 10 fatalities within the forestry industry are caused by them.
Here is a chestnut that's root plate had failed, coming to rest in a slowly decaying ash tree.
Felled properly and safely.

A double Lime pollard today. Although it had been previously pollarded about 15-20 years ago with a rusty spoon and a wonky ladder I think it came out as well as can be expected.
Fibre cable and Comms lines avoided, all chipped and left tidy.

An ongoing conifer removal. Stumps cut to 1m to maintain some resemblance of a boundary. Debris chipped.
20m done, 150m to go.
