Kraken Arb - Tree Specialists

What started as a routine log delivery turned into a roadside rescue. 🪵🦉

​There’s a common misconception that tree surgeons just come in and clear away nature. At Kraken Arb, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. We work in tree care because we genuinely care about our local ecosystem keeping environments safe, balanced, and thriving for both people and wildlife.

​While on the road today, we spotted this young barn owl stranded in danger. She was exhausted, hungry, and likely struck by a vehicle, with a tick near her eye. We wrapped her up safely in a hoodie and got her straight to the team at Mansfield Wildlife Rescue UK .

​Thanks to their incredible care a thorough checkup, tick removal, antibiotic eye drops, and a good meal she’s now well on her way to recovery. Please consider checking out their page and supporting the amazing work they do for our local wildlife!

​(And don't worry—our customer still got their logs, just two hours late! Huge thanks to them for their patience and understanding! 🙌)

​Who said arborists don't love wildlife? 🌳💚

🔥 Protect Your Property: Essential Tree & Yard Tips to Reduce Wildfire Risk 🔥
​With wildfire risks on the rise across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and South Yorkshire, taking proactive steps around your home can make all the difference.

​As local tree care professionals, here are the top steps you can take to create Defensible Space and protect your home:

​🌲 1. Clear "Ladder Fuels"
Prune lower tree branches up to 2–3 meters off the ground. This prevents ground fires from climbing into the upper tree canopy, where flames spread rapidly.
​🏠 2. Clean Out Roofs & Gutters

Windblown embers are the leading cause of home fires during a wildfire. Regularly clear dry leaves, needles, and debris from gutters, roof valleys, and under decks.

​✂️ 3. Thin Out Overcrowded Canopies
If tree crowns overlap, fire can leap easily from canopy to canopy. Selective pruning and crown thinning reduce fuel density and slow down fire progression.
​🪵 4. Move Firewood & Chip Piles Away from Buildings

Store log piles, untreated timber, and large mulch beds at least 10 meters away from your house, garage, or shed.

​🍂 5. Remove Deadwood & Hazard Trees
Dead trees, dying branches, and dried brush act as immediate tinder. Safely removing dead organic material significantly lowers the fire risk on your boundary.

​💦 6. Water Deeply & Keep Your Soil Moist
Fresh, moisture-rich vegetation is much harder to ignite than drought-stressed plants.
​Water Deeply: Give trees a long, slow soak at their drip line early in the morning rather than quick daily sprinkles.

​Mulch Up: Apply a 5–7 cm layer of wood chips around beds to lock in moisture (just keep it 10 cm clear of main trunks). Focus extra watering on saplings and hedge borders closest to your house!

​Need help preparing your property for the dry season?

Our team speciali in defensible space clearance, canopy thinning, hazard tree removal, and wood chip delivery.

Keeping roads safe and managed! 🌳🛣️✨

​Another successful job for the team at Kraken Arb! On this site, we carried out multiple tree removals along the embankment to clear space and eliminate hazards. We also performed a careful crown lift on a mature oak tree whose branches were hanging low directly over a busy main road.

​Lifting the lower canopy ensures safe vehicle clearance along the highway while keeping the oak healthy, balanced, and structurally sound.

​From highway clearance and crown lifting to complex tree removals, our experienced team delivers professional, fully insured tree surgery across every project.
