Tree crown lifting in Cardiff has become more popular in recent years. When one garden has a good example of what a crown lift looks like neighbours and nearby family and friends will then look to replicate the results in their own garden where feasible.

A crown lifting for certain trees will allow more space in a garden to be utilised, especially for families with young children and dog when a tree sits in the middle of a lawn. Not having to worry about running into a branch which could seriously damage an eye is clearly important but it will allow more light to get to the ground below the tree nearer the trunk which could allow you to grow other plants, that prior to cutting and lifting the crown, would have had little chance of surviving. If your not sure what type of pruning would be best for your tree simply get in touch with us and we will happily talk you through the options and show you some more examples of work we have done.

Clearly having a tree which is diseased and dying is a reason to have it removed however, there will also be times when you have a tree which has simply got too large for your garden or it's location and is becoming an annoyance for both you and possibly your neighbours too.

You may have previously arrange for quite severe pruning but this can often result in more aggressive thicker growth and it may seem there is no alternative other than to arrange a tree removal service.

The J&Z tree surgeon Cardiff team have removed many trees however you will always need to check that your tree is not under a TPO, which stands for a Tree Protection Order. If it is then this changes things quit dramatically. If you have a tree which has a TPO you could get fined if it is removed in fact this can also extend to certain alterations due to cutting too.

The local authority will have a record of all trees which have a TPO on them. If you find that you have one on yours it may unfortunately mean that we can't do any work on it until the TPO has been lifted and this could take months even if they do decide to lift it. The strongest case would be if the tree is diseased and is already dying. If it isn't generally speaking a TPO has been put on a tree due to its outstanding natural beauty or natural worth so don't be surprised if your application to have it removed is rejected.

Once a tree has been felled this will have been done a foot or so from the ground. This is so that clean and safe cutting can be done at the base of the tree. However, the result is a stump. Tree stump removal in Cardiff can be classified as a separate service as sometimes gardens have had a tree removed and left the stump as removal does require additional equipment and costs which may have been beyond the initial budget. For some people the stump can be a feature or used as a seat or bird table but following a house sale new owners may well have different plans for their garden and a large stump isn't part of that plan.

If simply left the stump can still mean that the tree is alive. some varieties of trees may start having very small thin branches begin to sprout from it and similarly the roots can continue to spread. There are a couple of ways stumps can be remove to allow the ground to be flattened and used differently

There are a few ways you can remove a tree stump and there are a number of pros and cons to each. For people who for whatever reason decide not to employ the services of a professional you can simply axe away at a stump. This is a long winded process, intensely physical and can be very messy. This is a DIY approach and sometimes people simply give in and the tree is still alive. The other DIY approach is to use chemically treat the tree stump. Normally the instructions will advise drilling holes down into the stump into which the chemical solution or granules are poured. The amount of chemicals used will depend on the tree type and size and this chemical killing can take weeks even months. At the end of which you will still have a stump to remove but since the tree will be dead it will be easier to cut and axe out compared to doing this when it is still alive.

The disadvantage with this approach is that it can take time, which can't be exact and afterwards since the tree and its roots are spread across quite an area of ground the toxic chemicals will end up seeping into the soil as part of the tree stump killing process. Again depending on the tree, its roots and its size will impact on the level the surrounding soil will be effected but unless you are going to cover the area with something like artificial grass you may even have to wait a full year before planting in the area where the tree stump and its roots covered, otherwise the chemicals in the soil will kill your new plants too.

For this reason most specialist tree service companies will employ tree stump grinding in Cardiff as their preferred tree stump removal option.  It is a much more immediate way of removing a tree stump. Stump grinders are specially designed machines which are solely used for grinding down tree stumps. As the name suggested the machine grinds down the stump. It does this by using a large toothed wheel to grind down the stump from the top down. It is rather like a giant angle grinder that has been attached to the front and bottom of a wheelbarrow so it can be moved along the stump and lifted up from the back so that the grinder can reach further down the stump. Once the stump has been ground out well below ground level the stump and root system will begin to die but the ground around can be used immediately and as a result is the most favoured way of removing a tree stump.

Whilst some people will always insist on doing things themselves there are certain things which are best left to professionals with our wood chipper hire you are also hiring out wood chip operator too. Whilst a wood chipping machine is a robust bit of kit they are not indestructible and will have a tendency to jam frequently if not fed into correctly and at a sensible pace. Result will also vary based on the type of branch or branches that are fed into the machine. The adage of less is more is also the case with a wood chipper feeding in to much in one go can cause the machine to shut off to protect itself from damage and as a result the reverse mode will need to be used to help unclog the jam and re-feed into the machine.

By providing our own staff to do the work as well as taking away any machine damage liability from yourselves our experienced operators know the machines very well and know the best way to insert the branches to get the speediest chipping possible..

As mention if we are employed to do a complete tree removal service, lopping or pruning we will bring our wood chipper with as it is the most efficient way to transport branches from a property quickly and easily. As mentioned our experienced operators know the best way to feed the machine from an efficiency perspective but also from a safety perspective too.

Whilst modern machines try to limit the possible chance of injury a wood chipper, especially the larger version are designed to make short work of branches much larger than human limbs. Unfortunately most years there will be a few incidents where someone using  wood chipper will seriously injure a limb or at least lose a digit or two is due care and consideration to the equipment is not taken.

Another common injury for amateurs is eye damage. It can be very easy when feeding large amounts of branches to become unaware of where the end of a branch is and once fed into a wood chipper it will also undergoing irregular movements as it is pulled through the machine. Eye protection should always be worn when operating a wood chipper. Without wanting to scare you too much we hope that we have made a strong case for leaving this particular service to experienced operators.

So what happens to the wood chippings created by the wood chipper? Sometimes the homeowner will want some or all of the chippings left for their own use. Either to use as part of a topsoil mulch or to use for pets or play areas.

We have a number of different options we can use when it comes to utilising the wood chippings we have gathered or sometimes we simply load up the branches to special wood recycling centres where they may be sorted for use in Biomass heaters of used to form other products eventually such as paper or chip board. Either way the tree cutting we take away follow a full recycling path.

Most frequently our emergency tree removal service will be called upon after storms or severe winds. Unfortunately there can be serious injuries associated with such weather event including the odd fatality so the shear weight and impact a falling tree or branch can have should never be underestimated.

If you are unfortunate to have an issue with a tree becoming uprooted or a sizable branch falling onto an your property you should contact a professional to remove it safely. Whilst it can sometimes be tempting to try and move part of a tree yourself especially if on the floor and you simply want to stop it from obstruction your access or egress from your property you should always be cautious and vigilant. It can be incredibly frustrating to be boxed in your driveway but you should plan to have the issue professionally dealt with rather than attempting a temporary fix which could result in a issue for someone further down the line.

Of course you will want to be getting on with your lives as normal as soon as possible if there has been an issue with a tree on your property. We know how important it can be for us to work fast and help you get the situation sorted as quickly as possible.

Whilst most of our emergency tree services involve fallen trees and branches there are quite a number of occasions where a tree may be on the verge of topping over or may simply be being propped up by another tree or your house with the fear than another gust of wind may subsequently cause severe damage to your property.

When dealing with a fallen tree the important part is to initially carry an assessment of the tree's position relative to the ground. Having an understanding of the weight distribution of a tree and the relative strength of a branch to support the weight of a tree on the ground will aid in deciding on the approach and order of how to tackle the obstructing tree without risking further damage to property or to ourselves.

In situations where a tree is still fairly vertical as is simply being supported by another tree we will need to assess how stable the support structure is before attempting an emergency tree removal. Taking the wrong approach could lead to the support structure failing and additional damage and work being created.

Whilst there may also be an ideal way of dealing with the issue sometime the layout and position may make accessibility for certain equipment and issue and sometime getting certain special equipment may take a little while to arrive so we assess all the factors with safety being the primary concern above all else before commencing our plan of attack on the tree, or trees,  in question.

As time can sometimes be crucial, especially if further bad weather is forecast it is important to contact us soon as possible once you suspect a potential issue.

Whilst some trades charge a premium for any emergency service we aim to provide as fair a service as possible and not take advantage in your time of need.  As mentioned there may be a number of factors that can impact an emergency tree removal cost  such as the equipment we can or can't use and access to carry out our work in the ideal manner. This can influence the time it may subsequently take to carefully remove branches one at a time and therefore affect charges. Before we commence any work, we will need to discuss our approach with you to ensure that you are happy with our charges and approach and that when carrying out the work all of your family will be informed so that we can carry out our work as safely as possible
