After we recently pruned some leylandii, the client said:

The trees had grown to over 40 feet tall and their height needed reducing to make them manageable. The guys arrived right on time and worked extremely hard. They ensured my greenhouse was protected as they removed a substantial amount of wood and foliage. The site was left clean and tidy. The job is exactly what I wanted. Jolly well done and thank you.

Expert tree pruning in Hove

Effective tree management minimises the chances of problems, enabling you to enjoy your trees year-round for many seasons ahead. Our team demonstrates excellence in every part of tree pruning and maintenance, guaranteeing the long-term health of your trees.

  • Crown reduction: This pruning method focuses on trees that occupy excessive space by reducing the size of their crown. This precautionary measure helps avoid potential damage to nearby structures or driveways while promoting a more balanced appearance for the tree.
  • Crown thinning: Our proficient tree surgeons perform crown thinning, removing dead or redundant branches. This procedure improves light penetration within the tree and enhances the growth of plant life under and around the tree.
  • Crown lifting: Crown lifting involves raising branches that are too close to the ground, increasing clearance between the canopy and the ground. This enhances safety for vehicles and pedestrians by reducing the risk of collisions or obstructions.
  • Tree pollarding: Pollarding entails removing a tree's limbs, leaving only the trunk. This method is most beneficial when applied to young trees.
  • Formative pruning: Formative pruning is customised for younger trees, gently sculpting their growth to enhance strength and structure.

Do you need tree felling arborists in Brighton, BN1?

Typically, tree removal entails reducing a tree to a stump, often by cutting it into manageable pieces to prevent property damage. Alternatively, if space permits, a tree can be felled in one piece.

Felling a tree is a complex process that requires the expertise of experienced tree surgeons to ensure safety and accuracy.

At DH Tree Services, our team conducts thorough surveys of the tree and its surroundings to devise a safe approach. Utilising modern machinery and safe techniques, we guarantee proper felling or dismantling of the tree.

We are proficient in felling trees in various settings, including residential and commercial areas, as well as highways. Our fully trained team completes the work swiftly and safely.

Employing our variety of stump grinders, we safely eliminate stumps to facilitate new plantings or halt the spread of disease from fungi and pathogens like honey fungus. Stump grinding surpasses other techniques because it is effective, affordable, and safe.

Hove hedge cutting services

DH Tree Services specialises in all hedge work, including trimming, cutting, and removals. Hedges provide greenery and privacy, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of properties compared to old fences or worn brick walls.

Overgrown hedges lose their shape, detracting from your property's appearance. Hedge maintenance varies by species; for instance, privet hedges are best trimmed during the growing season, while conifer hedges may require more frequent trimming.

Hedge removals are requested year-round, often to create space, replace with new plants, accommodate a driveway, or due to hedge decline.
