Local Authority Tree Contracts Grays: Our Services

Our local authority tree contracts specialists offer a vast range of services including:

Tree pollarding

Where trees are situated on a roadside, alongside railway lines or close to overhead power lines, it is helpful to keep the canopy controlled using pollarding. We often provide this service for local authorities so that trees are maintained long term and do not pose a risk to health and safety

Crown lifting

Crown lifting involves removing the lower branches of a tree to lift the canopy. The overall height of the tree stays the same, but with the lower branches taken out the tree becomes safer on the ground, making it possible for people to walk underneath or even to sit and enjoy the shade.

Storm damaged tree removal

We offer an emergency service so that local authorities can rely on us to quickly remove trees that have fallen on public land following storms or high winds. Whatever the weather, whatever the risk, we have the experience and expertise to act quickly in order to avert public health and safety hazards.

Tree removal

Sometimes it is necessary to remove a tree because it is posing a hazard; is diseased and cannot be salvaged, or is blocking access. It may even be because its roots are starting to cause issues for nearby buildings. Obviously tree removal involves working at height, which means it has to be undertaken by professionals with appropriate qualifications using the correct equipment.

Tree reports

For all your local authority tree report requirements, you can rely on the qualified expertise of T.H. Tree Services. We offer tree condition safety survey and inspections; arboricultural mortgage reports and planning application and development surveys.

Hedge trimming and removal

Whether you are seeking pruning and maintenance for large rows of hedges, or need hedges removed, we are able to offer a professional service. Even where hedges are particularly tall or made up of hardwood plants, we have the knowhow to tackle them effectively.

Tree pruning advice – getting the timing right

Our Grays tree surgeons will always issue specialist guidance on the most appropriate time to prune any given tree. To learn more, please take a look at our news and tree ID pages.

In most circumstances we will try to avoid tree pruning during the active growing season which is late spring to early winter. This is because when a tree is pruned during its growing phase, it bleeds sap. Sap attracts bugs which bring with them disease.

We also avoid, in line with regulations, the bird nesting season which runs from February to August.

In all cases we may still proceed should there be an urgent or immediate need, such as a tree or branches that are posing a hazard.

On the lookout – Common tree diseases

Some trees are more prone to disease and pest infestations than others. The most commonplace diseases affecting trees are ash dieback, chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease and oak decline, but there are several others that we are always on the lookout for.

Our local authority tree contracts specialists in Grays are qualified to identify, analyse and treat diseases, fungi and pest infestations. Our guide to common tree diseases and pests is a useful resource but we do of course provide tailored advice in all situations that are posing a cause for concern.
