What Trees do for us!
Trees enhance our environment and are one of the most important natural features of the landscape especially important in urban areas.
Trees improve our daily lives providing shade, wind breaks, noise barriers, visual enjoyment and a habitat for diverse wild life.
Trees also play a large part in balancing our eco system by Neutralising carbon emissions, re-oxygenating the air we breathe, balancing the humidity and helping to control temperature swings.
In many locations trees are important to stabilise the landscape, preventing soil erosion with their root networks and absorbing water from the soil preventing excessive run off thereby alleviating the flooding risk.
Trees form a major part of both the rural and urban landscape which contributes to our enjoyment of life, as with any natural phenomena trees require careful management to ensure our relationship with the natural world remains in balance to benefit both ourselves and the trees.
As with any living organism one of the most intrusive acts is when an incision is made into the flesh or in the case of trees timber.
So just as we would not allow untrained and unqualified personnel to operate on ourselves or our pets it is vitally important that all shaping and trimming of trees is carried out by fully qualified surgeons to ensure the future health and vigour of the tree.
Unfortunately some trees need to be removed completely because they have become diseased and may be dangerous or infect other trees if left in place.
Most problems relating to trees interfering with daily lives (light obstruction, bird droppings, etc,etc) can be resolved with professional reshaping allowing the tree to continue to prosper and our enjoyment of the tree uninterrupted.
