Where trees overhang property, this is if not kept an eye on is a recipe for disaster. Tree limbs are heavy, and if they fall, they can inflict a great deal of damage to a roofline. To ensure the safety of the property, regular trimming of a tree located next to a property is a must.
The project
Our client’s property located in Nacton, near to Ipswich in Suffolk was undoubtedly an excellent example of how a mature tree could become a danger to the property. The crown was unbalanced towards the property, and it heavily overhung the roofline.
This type of project needs a specialist piece of equipment. The Wumag access platform provides an 18m high side reach, so it allows us to work safely on a tree located next to the property. We set about the work with sensitive pruning back of the side of the tree’s crown, so it reduced the overhang. We then reshaped the tree to help balance it for future growth.
Due to the sensitive location of the tree, the work had to be carried out in small sections, allowing the debris to be moved into the platform basket. We could then lower the platform to ground level and remove the debris, therefore ensuring that nothing fell onto the adjacent roof of the property. Safety was the absolute key to this project, and although it took some time, we were able to rebalance the tree and provide protection for the property in future.
The outcome
There are very few tree surgeons in the area which can ensure the safety of a property with a project of this nature. Access platforms provide the catalyst to a safe working environment, and this project was an example of why such a piece of specialist equipment is so needed.

Elite carried out both fencing and tree work for us. The fencing work consisted of approximately 50 metres of new fencing and the removal of a 15m high Holly tree along with stump grinding ready for fresh planting during the spring. Really happy with the final result the team were friendly and made sure everything was left tidy afterwards. Work was competitively priced and clearly a professional business.

Dear Mr Thomas, thank you and your team for an exemplary job with which we are very satisfied. With the multi-stemmed Ash removed, we have been able to see the wood for the trees, so to speak. To avoid unnecessary constraints on future planting, we have decided to have the stump(s) ground out and I understand that you will arrange for that in the near future and look forward to hearing further from you.
