Planning
If you live in a conservation area, or suspect that any of your trees have a TPO (Tree preservation order) protecting them, permission will have to be gained from your local council before any work can be carried out. This is to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands in the interests of amenity. This process usually takes around 6 - 8 weeks, and requires that a planning application be made to the planning department of your local council.
The planning application can be a time consuming and technical process, requiring a fair bit of information. Fortunately, we can do this on your behalf. If you are unsure if you live in a conservation area, or if any of your trees are covered by preservation orders, then please don't hesitate to get in contact with us so we can assist you with any queries that you may have.

Tree Removal
Here at Firwood tree services, we are experienced in removing trees in urban, rural and residential settings. Below listed are some of the techniques we use.
Sectional Dismantle:
A sectional dismantle is the process of taking down medium to large sized trees, one piece at a time.
This involves using ropes and spikes to climb the tree, then if needed, the use of ropes to lower the branches to the ground.
This technique is ideal for trees that are dead, dangerous, storm damaged, overhanging buildings & property or sites which have difficult access.
Confined Space Removal:
In certain situations trees are in very close proximity to each other, to buildings, or to property which can present a challenging task to remove or dismantle them in a safe manner.
Our highly skilled and qualified team are more than capable to operate in even the most confined spaces, where you may need work carried out.
Hazard Tree Removal:
A hazardous tree is one with structural defects that cause failure of all or part of the tree. Such a tree could strike a target like a vehicle, building, or a place where people gather such as a park bench, picnic table, street, or backyard. There are many signs and symptoms of a hazardous tree, so please don't hesitate to contact us for a health inspection of your tree if you are in doubt.
Tree Felling:
Tree felling is the process of using a directional cut and a back cut to fell a tree to the ground. If you have a tree, or a group of trees that you want felling, and have the space to do so. We can certainly cater for this.

Tree Pruning
There are many reasons you may want you trees pruned. Whether that be to introduce more light into you house/garden, remove hazardous/dead limbs, provide clearance over a structure, or to reduce the overall size of your tree. Whatever your reason may be, we're here to offer our advice to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Safety Pruning: The removal of dead, dying, diseased and hazardous limbs present in your tree.
Crown Raising: The removal of selected lower limbs of the tree. To allow clearance for vehicles/people, to create room and light for infrastructure or to allow more light to the under story of your garden.
Crown Thinning: A selective pruning practice that involves the removal of certain limbs throughout the canopy of the tree. This is done to introduce more light in to the centre of the tree and to reduce wind sail.
Crown Reduction: A crown reduction involves reducing the overall size of a trees crown, reducing branches and the overall tree to a desired size.
Fruit Tree Pruning: The pruning of a fruit tree to promote the growth of a healthy crop. We recommend this be done on a annual basis.

Hedge Maintenance
We offer a comprehensive hedge trimming maintenance service. From regular, yearly maintenance, to complete removals and hedge planting.
