🌳 Another big job completed by the Gem Tree Management team!

We were recently called in to safely fell this large weeping willow at a local school, a stunning tree, but one that had sadly reached the end of its safe life, with visible decay and cavities in the trunk.

Here's how the job unfolded:
✅ Full tree felling, carefully dismantled in sections
✅ Stump grinding down to below ground level
✅ Sub-base preparation and full tarmac reinstatement
✅ Site left clean, safe and ready for the kids to get back out there

From a full canopy to a completely restored playground surface, all completed with minimal disruption to the school.

Proud of the team on this one! 💪

☀️ Is your garden feeling darker than it used to?

Has a tree turned your lovely outdoor space into a shady patch you can't do much with?

Crown thinning could be the answer, and it's one of our most popular services for exactly this reason. By carefully removing selected branches from within the canopy, we can dramatically improve the amount of light getting through to your garden, without changing the shape or size of the tree.

Your tree keeps its height, its character, and its presence. Your garden gets its light back.
✅ No change to overall tree size or shape
✅ Dramatically improved light to the garden
✅ Better air circulation = healthier tree
✅ Reduced wind resistance in stormy weather
✅ Carried out by fully qualified arborists

🌳 Before & After — Ash Tree Pollarding in Hertfordshire

This ash tree had outgrown its space and needed bringing back under control. Our team carried out a full pollard, reducing the tree back to its main framework and setting it up for healthy, manageable regrowth going forward.

Pollarding gets a bad reputation when it's done poorly, but when it's carried out on the right species, at the right time, and to the right standard, it's one of the most effective long-term tree management techniques available.

This ash will push out strong new growth and can be maintained on a regular cycle, keeping it at a safe and manageable size for years to come.

Got a tree that's getting too big for its space?

Get in touch, we'll let you know whether pollarding is the right option and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
