Bracing, using flexible cables, can often be used in conjunction with other pruning requirements. This can equalise the loading of branches to ensure crown safety in cases of internal weakness or the presence of twin or multi-stemmed forks and heavy or horizontal branches and to balance weaknesses caused by decay. Suffolk Tree Services Ltd. is well versed in the highly skilled techniques required. Where cable bracing is considered appropriate, we can undertake the detailed aerial surveying necessary to ensure the proper application of these methods.

Tree Preservation and Conservation Zone Orders

Our enviable reputation for sensitive and correct pruning of large, venerable and historic trees is renowned and we are well versed in negotiating and meeting the requirements of Tree Preservation and Conservation Zone Orders. Suffolk Tree Services Ltd. has a good working relationship with many local authorities enabling us to process statutory applications rapidly.

Formative and Cultural Pruning

We carry out many small tasks such as formative and cultural pruning of young trees to encourage good early crown formation. The removal of crossing and poorly developing branches will enhance the safety and long-term well-being of the subject tree. More advanced pruning may be required, where the need for headroom clearance for pedestrians and vehicles may be a consideration and also to permit improvement in light to properties and grounds, which will keep trees in a proper and safe relationship to buildings and structures.
