Tree Surgery services in Woodbridge, reduction and shaping of a Yew tree

REQUEST FREE QUOTATION

The team at Elite trees always enjoy working around the many beautiful churches that Suffolk has to offer. This particular project required specialist equipment and precaution had to be taken due to the location of this particular Yew tree.

The project

Due to its evergreen heritage, the Yew tree will grow and leaf all year long meaning it requires regular yearly maintenance to keep it well proportioned. The size of this Yew tree in particular had become slightly overgrown for its home in the churchyard and potentially started to dominate the other yew trees surrounding the church grounds.

After inspection, our team decided that a slight reduction and shaping would help to proportionate this tree to a manageable size, with possible need for a further reduction and shaping in the coming years. Access could have proved a problem to this project because of the surrounding fencing and headstones, luckily we had plenty of room in the small car park to operate and use our equipment efficiently

Using our Vehicle mounted access platform and lorry with a towed wood chipper we were able to safely carry out this project without disturbing any of the other church grounds.

The outcome 

Although there were obstacles within the grounds of the church, our safety and environment management skills came into force and we achieved a safe working area for both our team and the church grounds. The outcome was a neat and tidy Yew tree all shaped and ready for another year of growth.

Brilliant workers, very knowledgeable and extremely hard working, polite and left the garden spotless. Time keeping excellent & they do not stop! Have booked for more work to be done now and continually throughout the year. Very highly recommended company.

Peter Rodwell - Customer

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.
