Cheap tree work can end up costing far more than doing it properly💰

We’re often called in after work has gone wrong — unsafe cuts, damaged trees or unnecessary removals that could have been avoided.

What starts as a quick saving can lead to:

🌳Ongoing issues with tree health
⚠️Safety risks
❌Damage to surrounding areas
💷More expensive corrective work

Whether it’s a domestic garden or a larger site, tree work needs to be planned and carried out properly.

If you’re unsure what’s needed, it’s always better to get it assessed first.

Call or message us to arrange a visit📞

A little taste of here in Essex 🌼🌳

This Laburnum archway, planted around 1995, comes alive for just a couple of weeks each year.

An incredible sight when in full flower and a valuable source of food for pollinators at this time of year.

Gone almost as quickly as it arrives — enjoy it while it lasts.

Are your trees ready for the warmer weather?☀️

With temperatures rising, it’s a good time to take a closer look at the trees in your garden.

Heat, dry conditions and increased leaf cover can all highlight underlying issues that aren’t always obvious earlier in the year.

Things like:
🌿 Dead or weakened branches
🌿 Dense canopies catching more wind
🌿 Signs of stress from previous seasons

Most of the time, it’s nothing urgent. But it’s often easier to deal with things early, rather than once problems develop.

A quick check now can make all the difference later in the summer.

Not every tree is just a tree 🐝

This dead horse chestnut needed reducing, but it was also playing home to a colony of bees.

With a bit more time and awareness, we were able to complete the job safely without causing too much disruption to the hive.

A small reminder this World Bee Day that there’s often more going on than you think 🐝🌳🪾🍯

A lot of the timber you see us remove doesn’t go far…

It ends up here 👉 Blakes Logs

Our sister company, where it’s processed, seasoned and turned into firewood rather than going to waste 🌿

They share a lot more of that side of the work over there, so if you’re interested in how it all comes together, it’s well worth a follow🪵

Not every job has easy access.

This one was a diseased walnut tree tucked right at the bottom of a terraced garden.. with no direct way in or out.

Everything had to be carefully dismantled, then carried out by hand - through three gardens, up a narrow path and back onto the main road to be chipped.

But with careful planning, the team took the time to do things properly, protecting the surrounding spaces and making sure everything was handled safely from start to finish. All completed in a day.

If you’ve got a tree in a tricky spot, we’re here to help 🌳💪🏻

Oversized timber? No problem. 🌳⚙️

The Yardmaster on the 8-ton Volvo making light work of larger timber before it heads through the Posch 375 log processor.

Less chainsaw use.
Safer handling.
Faster processing.
More efficiency.

So far, a very good investment for the yard and a huge step forward in productivity.
Thank you for supplying

Logs aren't just for Christmas🪵

They can actually become a really simple, natural feature in a garden.

It’s one of those materials that doesn’t need to try too hard — it just fits. And when it’s thought about properly, it can add a lot more than you’d expect.

We can split and leave logs from your trees on site or if you’re just looking for logs for your own garden, our sister company Blakes Logs can help — just get in touch to enquire.

Sir David Attenborough turns 100 today.

A century spent showing how delicate and connected our natural world really is.

In tree surgery, that responsibility sits with every decision we make.

The way a tree is pruned, reduced or removed doesn’t just affect how it looks today. It shapes its long-term health, safety and the environment around it.

At Blake Tree Care, we take a considered approach to every project. From responsible pruning to sustainable waste handling, the focus is always on protecting what matters while delivering a professional result.

If you’re planning work on your trees, make sure it’s done properly.

We’ve had a few warmer days lately… and you can already see gardens starting to respond.

What most people don’t realise is this is also when plants can quietly start to struggle.

A couple of dry days, especially with sun and wind, can dry out soil much faster than you’d expect – particularly for pots, new plants and anything in full sun.

If you want to keep things looking good, now’s the time to stay on top of watering. Not loads… just consistent.

It’s one of those small jobs that makes a big difference over the next few weeks.

If you’re not sure what needs attention in your garden, feel free to ask 🪴
