Sunday evening telly is pretty rubbish these days anyway…😴

We were called this afternoon to attend a very precarious windblown tree in Roberton. 🆘

It was uprooted and teetering over the roof of the house, partially held up by a smaller tree. ⚠️

The team was on scene and the tree was secured before being dismantled carefully, any damage to property was avoided and the client can breathe a sigh of relief. 😮‍💨
Of course the clocks changing wasn’t in our favour 🔦💡

We are qualified and most importantly we carry appropriate insurance for this work. 📄

Is your property overshadowed by a lot of trees? 🌳

This week we spent time at a house near Symington, it was surrounded by a great mix of trees, all planted around 20 years ago which were becoming crowded and making the garden feel ‘closed in’. 🌚

We walked around with the client and marked trees for felling, crown lifting and thinning. With the aim being to open up light, views and accessibility around the house and garden. 🌞🌻

Trees in domestic settings need managed and maintained over time. In this case we focused on removing tall dark conifers which soaked up light and blocked views, we crown lifted the majority of hardwoods to open lower views and light into the borders. 🌲🍃

We chipped back into the borders using our tracked chipper to evenly spread a good layer of mulch/weed control. 🪵🦔

The team carried out a technical dismantle on Friday, for a much valued return client in Tweedsmuir. 🫡

The sycamore was deemed to be too close to the property with strong prevailing winds not in its favour, as well as solar panels and septic tanks below. 🌳💨

The steep banking was tough on the legs for getting the brash and timber down to the chipper but as always the team worked efficiently and completed the job well within our timescale. 🪵

The team are working in Balerno today for one of our commercial clients. 🌳
Dismantling a dead Lime tree on the edge of an amenity woodland. 🪾
Ensuring safe working practices in areas with heavy pedestrian footfall is important so we always have our work site well set up and signed. 🚧

Pop along and have a chat to the team, ask us about our equipment and climbing systems, we have our chipper set up, the log splitter and stump grinder as well. 🪵🪵

Refreshments will be provided in the cool box 😎🍻

Log shed envy! 🪵🪵

Having thinned out several acres of woodland our customer was in need of some storage space for all the logs we have been processing.

We brought in Doug Roper, master shed builder! With Angus and Ronnie working as his ‘apprentices’ we had it built in two days.
This shed can hold 36m3 of logs, divided into three bays so it can have wet wood, semi seasoned wood and a dry wood section.

Now the task of filling it falls to us! 🤯

Last week we carried out a pretty exciting job (in our book anyway!)

An ash tree had suffered a major limb failure and was left hanging over an access road to a neighbouring house. ⛔️

Climbing wasn’t an option for safety reasons, so we brought in a grapple saw from Field & Forest Machinery LTD 🤝

With a 32m reach and large lift capacity it was able to pick and cut the branch work out of the tree and leave it standing as a monolith.
The tree was actually fairly healthy and we would always aim to keep mature Ash trees if possible.
From the remaining stems shoot growth should fill out and give the tree a chance to continue living. 🌳

Pretty cool to be carrying out this work on our doorstep in Broughton! 😎

The team recently carried out some Spruce dismantles in West Linton, the client had a precious flower bed below the trees and it was important this wasn’t damaged.

We have the techniques and skill to dismantle trees in a way that causes no damage to valuable items that are around the base of the trees, in this case we utilised zip lining to bring the branch work out over the flower beds and closer to the chipper. Saving the customers plants and also saving us some dragging distance!

If you require tree work but are concerned about the logistics then give us a ring, we may have the solution!

Continuing this week with our woodland management work in Symington, we had the task of hanging bat boxes in the trees.

Most of the thinning and windblown trees have been felled, processed and cleared now so the woodland is a quieter place, hopefully more attractive for wildlife.

A bit of research on the best positioning for the boxes and then selecting appropriate trees, in this case trees which we weren’t likely to be felling anytime soon on return visits!

Something different for us but still an important part of the woodland creation and ongoing management. 🌲🦇🦉
