Pruning a cherry tree in Chorlton. The tree had a lot of crossing and congested branches after a very heavy previous prune. We reduced its height and selectively thinned out the branches to restore its goblet shape.

Crown reduction and thin of this oak in Heald Green to prevent the tree getting too big and taking all the light from the neighbouring gardens. By carefully selecting which branches to remove and which ones to cut back to suitable secondary branches we were able to maintain a nice natural shape to the remaining crown.

Should be good to burn next winter. 2m3 for £150. Please message me if you are interested and can take a delivery in the afternoon.

Back to the garden in Bramhall. A big willow tree cracked and fell into the river and across the public footpath on the other side during storm Claudia. Floodwater made it too dangerous to tackle for a week until the levels were back to normal. We managed to get vehicular access to the footpath with coorporation from Stockport Council. We cordoned off a safe work area and got our waders on whilst Carlos set up a climbing anchor in the top of a nearby Alder and made his way out onto the tree to begin dismantling it so we could fish bits out of the river with pull lines and grappling hooks. After a good day's sploshing about we had the river unblocked and the tree made safe.
Get in touch if you have any awkward problem trees you need dealing with and we'll provide a quote for the solution.

Working in my favourite garden reducing conifers to let a bit more light into neighbouring gardens. This one's drop zone was the river so a chance to get the waders on and go for a paddle.

This lime tree was making the back garden feel dark with its dense crown blocking a lot of natural light. We crown lifted it and thinned out the remaining canopy to make it feel far less oppressive. We left a few of the lowest branches as they were providing an affective privacy screen from the flats behind.

FIREWOOD LOGS FOR SALE - we are taking down a big beech tree in Altrincham next week, that has developed a torsional crack in the trunk during the strong winds of storm Eowyn, back in January. We will be selling transit tipper loads (around 2.5m3) delivered to your drive for £150. The larger diametre logs will be in rounds ready for splitting. The smaller diametre wood will be in 3 or 4 log lengths so will need further cutting. Obviously this is fresh timber so will need processing and storing in a suitable log store for a good year before its moisture content is below 20% and its ready to burn. A fully seasoned and processed load of this size would be £350. If you want to arrange a delivery for next week please text me on 07747166423 Thanks. Matt
