Tree Crown Lifting Great Wakering: All Species and Sizes of Trees Covered

Our Great Wakering tree crown lifting service can be used for a wide range of tree species and sizes.

Regardless of whether your trees are located on public land, in a domestic garden, on commercial premises or on a site such as a railway, or lake or riverbank, our experts have the skill and experience to deal with everything safely, using the right methods and at the right time so that your trees remain healthy and appealing to look at.

Here’s a rundown of the trees we commonly deal with for tree crown lifting:

• Oak – all species such as English or common oak, sessile oak and holm oak of any height
• Willow – including those located by bodies of water. Willow trees have long, cascading branches so tree crown lifting works really well to allow people to sit underneath and enjoy the shade.
• Ash – when we carry out ash tree crown lifting we will look out for ash dieback. If we spot it, we’ll provide you with a professional action plan to deal with it.
• Fruit trees – including pear, plum, cherry and apple. Fruit trees require regular, professional pruning to help develop a robust branch structure to support their heavy fruit crops. Some light crown lifting may be required and we’ll let you know if it will work for your tree.
• Conifers and pines – including yew, cedar and Leyland cypress. Conifers and pines are known to grow to soaring heights of up to 100 metres. Never an issue for our team though.
• Thorny or spiky trees – such as hawthorn, blackthorn and the monkey puzzle tree. Some tree care companies will avoid working on trees like these, but not us. If your tree’s crown needs lifting, we’ll get on with it.
• Eucalyptus trees – including the cider gum tree found growing extensively along the Essex coastline.
• Beech trees – regular pruning is advantageous for the beech tree as it assists with leaf retention year-round; good where the tree is used as privacy screening.
• Other deciduous and evergreen trees – including silver birch trees, hornbeam trees, lime trees, maple trees, sycamore trees, rowan trees, elm trees, whitebeam trees, spindle trees and aspen trees. Whatever tree that needs its crown lifting, we can handle it.

Common diseases affecting trees in Great Wakering

When to carry out tree crown lifting?

There are certain times of year when tree crown lifting should be avoided.

Firstly, the bird nesting season, which runs from February to August. We will always check for nesting birds outside of this period to be on the safe side. This only applies to non-emergency tree work. If there are hazardous branches or the tree needs urgent attention to deal with disease or infestation, then we can proceed.

Secondly, tree crown lifting is not advisable whilst the tree is actively growing. Mostly this is late spring to early winter. This is because during the active growing season, trees bleed sap when cut. Sap attracts bugs which flock to the tree bringing with them all kinds of diseases.

Again, we can carry out emergency tree work at any time, however we do try to wait until the tree enters its dormant phase. It is worth noting that some tree species enter their dormant phase at different times. Have a read of our news and tree ID pages for guidance on the optimum time to prune your particular tree, or contact us for bespoke advice.

You will also need to consult the local authority TPO register if your tree is of notable interest. If it is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) then the volume of crown lifting permitted will be restricted and you will require permission from your local authority to proceed. This can take up to eight weeks to come through.
