Roker Tree Services

Our tree surgery and garden services

Roker Tree Services operate throughout Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire. As well as our tree surgery work, we also help with other garden maintenance and clearance, and other garden services.

If your trees are covered by TPO or in a CA we will have to speak to your local council and apply for work to be carried out. In turn they will send there own arboriculturist to grant what work should be carried out. This is a long process and can take up to six weeks.

There are many aspects of tree surgery and here they are:

Crown Thinning

Selected branches are removed to allow air and light to pass through the tree, the shape of the tree is as it was but will appear less dense on the eye. Calculated in percentages.

Stump Removal

Large hydraulic machines that have a circular cutting wheel with sharp teeth that cut into the ground to remove the stump bowl, these machines do not chase all roots out. Remaining roots are subject to die off.

Crown Lift

Calculated in meters, to remove only lower branches to lift the entire canopy. Normally for pedestrian or highway clearance.

Crown Reduction

A process we use to reduce the overall size of the crown, calculated in percentages, reducing the sail area and releasing weight and tension. The tree is evenly pruned all over. All branches are pruned back to substantial growth points conforming to (BS3998). This helps promote growth and ensure the tree is healthy.

Ivy Severance

A two foot band cut at the base of the tree in order to kill off climbing ivy above.

Firewood

We also offer firewood for sale in 5kg bags, bulk bags and by the truck load. As well as wood and logs for woodcarvers to create chainsaw art and chainsaw sculptures.

Felling

To remove the whole tree leaving only a stump just above ground level.

Pollarding

Pollarding is a process that is to remove all branches, limbs leaving only the trunk, for regeneration, only some trees respond to this, typically used methods occur in big cities to reduce the tree to nothing for regeneration and keep size to a minimum.

Crown Cleaning

In a crown clean process we will remove all dead wood, hanging branches, hazard beams, crossing branches, ensuring a safe tree.
