Our Thurrock Tree Surgeon Services

Our Thurrock tree surgeons provide the following services:

Tree pollarding

Trees located on a roadside or near to overhead cables benefit from having their canopies kept under control. The best process for doing this is known as pollarding. It’s a much requested service for local authorities that need to keep public land safe and free from hazards.

Crown reduction

Light and improved air flow result when a tree’s crown is reduced. It’s great for the tree because it boosts health, plus it makes it look more attractive AND it’s easier to spot any signs of disease or pest infestation.

Dead wood pruning

Dead wood comes about as a natural part of a tree’s life cycle. It really does need to be removed on a regular basis however, because it is prone to falling out without warning. Loose branches are a sign that your tree needs dead-wooding; spot them and it’s wise to make a call to our experts without delay. We’ll attend and make sure that there’s nothing to worry about disease wise before removing the dead wood and making the tree safe.

Tree removal

If a tree just cannot be salvaged, or it is preventing access or its roots are posing a problem, tree removal may be the only way to resolve the issues. This kind of work is obviously undertaken at height, which means it’s essential to call in qualified professionals who have purpose designed equipment and all the right qualifications so that all the risks of injury and property damage are allayed.

Tree Surgeon Thurrock – Our Areas of Expertise

At T.H. Tree Services we provide an extensive range of services. These include all the pruning services listed above, plus a host of specialist services such as hedge trimming and removal; ivy trimming and removal; bamboo removal and storm damaged tree removal.

Trees of any height or spread can all be dealt with, without issue. This includes species such as the oak tree which is known to reach heights of 40 metres; the willow tree, usually sited close to river banks or lakes; the Leyland cypress which is renowned for its towering heights of 100 metres; the eucalyptus tree which calls for specialist pruning to ensure its ongoing health, and the cherry tree which again requires a very particular type of pruning so a strong branch structure is promoted enabling it to support its heavy fruit crops. We can of course deal with ALL tree species; these are just a small selection.

When is the best time to prune your tree?

Our Thurrock tree surgeon services include advising our customers on the best time to prune a particular tree. If you’d like to read up about it yourself, you will find plenty of information amidst our news and tree ID pages.

The general rule on tree pruning is to avoid the active growing season. In most instances this will be late spring to early winter, because when a tree is pruned during its active growing phase, it bleeds sap. Sap attracts bugs and these are known to spread disease.

The optimum pruning times and processes for individual tree species do vary, so be sure to consult our resources or contact us for personalised advice. Always be aware that when it comes to the health of your cherished trees, professional advice is crucial.

Do also be aware that it is now allowed to carry out any type of non-emergency tree work whilst the bird nesting season is active (February to August). Make sure you check for nesting birds before going ahead with any tree work. Any emergency tree surgery such as the removal of dangerous branches can of course go ahead.

What you need to know about Tree Preservation Orders

Trees of notable interest tend to be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) which means that the level of pruning will be restricted, and that permission will be needed to carry out works. You’ll need to consult with the arboriculture department of your local authority to check the TPO register before you proceed and if permission is needed you are likely to have an eight week delay ahead of you.

If your tree is situated in a conservation area then special permission will be required before going ahead with any works.

Our Thurrock tree surgeons have developed strong relationships with local authority tree officers. This means we are able to help push your application through swiftly in most cases.

Common Tree Diseases

Some trees are more susceptible to disease and pest infestations than others. The most common tree diseases like ash dieback, chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease and oak decline are well known, but there are several others that can take hold and that you should be aware of.

An essential part of our Thurrock tree surgeon work is spotting and treating diseases, fungi and pest infestations. If you are worried that your tree may be suffering from disease or a pest infestation, consult our guide to common tree diseases and pests and do not delay in contacting us for tailored advice should you have any concerns.
