Reshaping and trimming of a beautiful Ipswich Oak tree

REQUEST FREE QUOTATION

A common and extremely popular garden feature is the beautiful Oak. It’s twisted branches and the stunning canopy provides a perfect backdrop to a well-kept garden, and this particular Oak was no exception. It sat in a perfect garden location, surrounded by a host of considered planting.

The project

The tree had been part of our regular work for years, having Oak trees are renowned for their wide canopies. Broad branches and intricate growth means new growth is always seeking sunlight, and the canopy stretches in size to accommodate. This particular Oak had been well maintained and in good health. The shape was stunning, and regular trimming had seen the Oak keep that shape and distance from the client’s property.

The crown had been reduced in recent years. The works were to manage the size of the tree, as it was relatively close to the property. We attended the site and followed the model of the work that had been done in the past. To carry out our work safely, we used our RQG18 restricted access tracked platform, which is perfect for accessing tight areas, but also manoeuvring over undulating terrain.

We reduced the tree to the previous reduction points. This required general pruning and management work to maintain the size and spectacular nature of the tree, while making sure the tree’s long-term retention was retained, limiting the risk to the clients’ property.

The outcome

Tree Surgery work on Oak trees is indeed a pleasurable experience. It’s beauty, and wide canopy means you can get down to work to create a beautiful shape. This particular tree already had some extensive guidance for our team, with obvious previous reduction points on display. However, the outcome is the pleasurable part, and the tree looked stunning when we completed our work.

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.
