In our region we are blessed with some beautiful and ancient trees – many planted well before any Local Council or Highways plans were put in place.
This particular project was a prime example of a very large and rather precarious tree adjacent to a fairly major road, and required some careful planning where traffic control was concerned.
This beautiful Beech Tree had unfortunately contracted a killer fungal disease called Meripilus. The disease causes white rot in Beech Trees. This bracket fungus, commonly known as the giant polypore or black-staining polypore, is often found in large clumps at the base of trees, although fruiting bodies are sometimes found some distance away from the trunk, parasitizing the roots.
Not a pleasant disease if you are a Beech Tree, and the only solution for this tree was complete removal.
After careful planning including traffic control, we set about the gradual dismantling of the tree. You can see our progress on the adjacent images – with one in particular showing how the disease had eaten away at the core of the trunk.

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.

Elite Trees replaced my rear fence for me. They were very efficient and friendly from the quoting stage all the way through to finishing the job. Fence looks great and I would not hesitate in recommending them.

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.
