Here is a guide to our most popular tree surgery services used widely around Thurrock:

Tree Pruning

Different types of tree pruning are necessary depending on the tree, the situation and what you are looking to achieve. Should you be unsure as to which service you need, you can trust in our specialist guidance.

For example, for trees with naturally bushy, dense canopies, it is useful for the tree to have its crown regularly thinned to allow light and air to pass through to where it is needed, enhancing the tree’s health and boosting its overall appearance. Crown thinning is also helpful where a tree is blocking light.

Some trees grow to towering heights and these will benefit from crown lifting or pollarding. These processes prevent the tree from posing a risk, and they are particularly useful for trees located on roadsides and nearby overhead cables.

Fruit bearing trees like the apple, plum or pear tree really need to be pruned using a specific process so that they grow a good, strong branch system. This is essential to support the heavy fruits.

Whatever tree pruning service you would like our Thurrock tree surgery specialists to carry out for you, you will always find it done with the highest levels of professionalism.

We have put together a wide range of articles on the subject of tree pruning for all the most common trees in the UK.

Tree Care

Our Thurrock tree care services include dead wood removal, vital to promote health and safety around trees. Dead wood occurs naturally as a tree grows, but it can also be a sign of disease or decay. If you ask us to remove dead wood from your tree, we will also inspect the tree to ensure there are no symptoms of disease or pest infestation that need treating. If we do spot any such symptoms, we will advise you on the best course of action and any costs involved before proceeding.

Treating disease, fungi like honey fungus, and infestations of common pests such as scale insects, gall wasps, aphids and weevils are all part of our Thurrock tree surgery service. Depending on the particular issue, there are various biological and non-biological processes we can employ. It is vital to apply the correct treatment, because the wrong method could have serious results.

If you are worried that your tree may be diseased or infested with pests or fungi, our article on the subject of common tree diseases should prove useful to you. If you spot anything that looks suspicious to you, don’t hold back in taking action. The quicker you call in expert help, the greater the chance of your tree making a complete recovery.

Helpful Information on Tree Preservation Orders

Trees of notable interest are usually subject to protection by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). This puts limits on the amount of pruning permitted, and you will require local authority permission to undertake works. The arboriculture department of your local authority will help you with checking the TPO register. If it transpires that permission is needed, then you will have to make an application through the local authority. Bear in mind this could take up to eight weeks to be approved.

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

TH Trees holds long-established relationships with local authority tree officers. This means that we can liaise efficiently on your behalf to help push your application for tree surgery work through as swiftly as possible.
