Willow Tree Pollarding in Rayleigh, Essex

T.H Tree Services has been providing willow tree pollarding in Rayleigh, Essex for over 10 years.

Our latest job involved a very large and old willow tree, which required re pollarding. It had been allowed to regrow unchecked for many decades resulting in the need for our expert services. This particular job required the use of our GRCS (good rigging control system) a specialist winch that few UK companies have.

Many obstacles had to be over come, which is no problem for our qualified and experienced Essex tree surgeons. For instants a fence line and two expensive sheds had to be protected from damage, which our winch enables us to do with precision.
