Pruning

Summer and Winter pruning in harmony with your trees and surroundings.

Felling and Removal

Straight felling in domestic settings is rare, however Green Tree Services can offer sectional felling by free fall and rigging techniques to preserve your assets on the ground - or straight felling where appropriate! Dangerous trees, rotten, wind damaged, all of these can be tackled quickly and efficiently.

Crown Lift and Reductions

Crown lifting and thinning, is perhaps the most common activity for any arborist, the work needs to be done sympathetically, with the next 5 or 10 years in mind Crown reductions are generally more ‘invasive’ and are usually for trees that have outgrown there surroundings., some trees are best coppiced or pollarded, depending on species.

Processing

Following felling or removal, the timber can be simply chipped for use on the garden or removed and composted at Forth Resource Management (FRM) or the biggest stems/trunk can be milled to mantles, boards, posts etc

Landscaping Joinery

Landscaping Roughing Joinery works are undertaken as individual high quality projects for clients; decking, fencing, summer houses, garden studios, porches/covered entrances, pods and huts!

Sometimes spaces in your garden are not exactly square or rectangular! The only limiting factor is your imagination.
We are very experienced in matching awkward and unusual outdoor spaces, to fit your deck, garden studio or pod. Other joiners may insist on making square or simple shapes, but through time, we have built many structures that fit snuggly, ensuring best use of your space.
Projects to date have been a mix of self-designed, built to structural engineers specifications and to building warrants. The Quality of the build is always to a high engineering standard, with no shortcuts taken on fasteners, fixings, bolts or screws. The outcome is a quality, hard-wearing and lasting structure.
