Timber Tim Ltd – Professional Tree Services
The professional tree services that Timber Tim can provide include pruning, removal, emergency tree care (storm damage) and a variety of other tree surgeon services.
You may have trees that interfere with overhead wires, satellite signals, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows, or those that obstruct streets or pavements. We can offer advise on preventive tree maintenance to keep your trees in good health, which will allow the tree to defend itself against insects, disease and other problems.
Crown Thinning
This is the removal of selected live branches growing throughout the crown of the tree. Crown Thinning can result in an even distribution of foliage therefore allowing light penetration and reducing wind resistance on the tree. This type of pruning can reduce the potential for storm damage.
Crown Lifting
This is the selective removal of the lower branches of the trees crown. This is done to prevent danger to pedestrians or vehicles, which may pass the tree, or it can be done to allow light through.
Crown Reduction
This is done to allow the continued conservation of the tree where structural problems might otherwise demand the loss of the tree. Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and / or spread of the crown of a tree by the removal of the ends of the branches whilst maintaining the trees natural shape as far as possible.
Pollarding
This is a heavy crown reduction technique and is appropriate where the crown of a tree is too large for its location or in some instances where extensive defects and weaknesses might make the tree unstable. Severe pruning of this type can cause vigorous re-growth on the tree.
Tree Felling
This is the complete removal of a tree. It is necessary to do this to dead, dying or diseased trees to prevent damage or injuries. This can be done by straight felling (where space permits) or by dismantling the tree in sections. We are fully experienced in directional and controlled felling of a tree using winching techniques. We are experts at large and dangerous tree removals. When a tree is deemed hazardous and there is no other solution, we will perform a clean and efficient surgical removal of any tree from your property. All aspects of the tree felling and removal will be discussed prior to the job so that you will know exactly what to expect.
Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. We can help decide whether or not a tree should be removed. Removal is recommended when:
- The tree is dead or dying
- The tree is considered irreparably hazardous
- The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning
- The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees
- The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
- The tree should be removed to allow for new construction
- The tree can be removed for aesthetic reasons
Deadwood Pruning
Removing dead, insect-infested or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay. Performing this kind of pruning can prolong the life of a tree and prevent damage to property as well as prevent injuries to anyone who may be struck by a falling dead branch.
Stump Grinding and Stump Removal
Timber Tim’s Professional Tree Services offer stump grinding service and can remove the smallest to the largest of stumps. Tree stumps can be an eyesore, can be difficult to mow around and most importantly can be a hazard to unaware persons.
Hedges and Shrubs
Apart from our tree work, Timber Tim also carry out hedge pruning and general garden maintenance of shrubs and bushes. We can trim any kind of hedge and we ensure that our work is carried out safely and that all brush is cleared away.
Emergency Tree Care
Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions. Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fall, often landing on homes, cars, and other structures or other trees. The weight of storm-damaged trees is great and they can be very dangerous to remove or trim. We can assist in performing the job in a safe manner while reducing further risk of damage to your property.
