All trees grow and mature. At some stage limbs will naturally die off. When this happens the tree will shed them. Although a natural process, in populated areas, this is unsafe. Dead wooding is the process of selectively removing the dead, dying and damaged branches from the tree which have not yet fallen to prevent possible damage to surrounding areas and people.

Maidstone Tree Services are well aware of the ecological benefits of dead wood within trees.  We will therefore assess whether the dead wood does in fact need to be removed. It is, on occasion, possible to preserve the tree and limbs without it posing a risk to the public.

The process of pollarding maintains your trees at a predetermined height by removing the upper branches to promote a dense head of foliage.

By regularly pollarding trees, they tend to grow slower and live longer as they are maintained in a partial juvenile state and do not have so much weight at the top of  the tree. This also enables them to be more resilient in harsh winds.

Here at Maidstone Tree Services we plan tree felling very carefully.

Trees must be felled safely and in the direction required. We will make assessments of the surrounding area, i.e. whether there are major obstacles in the area (overhead lines, roads and buildings, etc.), proximity to traffic and the public before determining that felling is appropriate.

If necessary, we will also ensure the use of sufficient warning signs, barrier tape and cones before commencing any felling.

We create, manage, conserve and repair forests in a sustainable manner meeting desired goals and needs.

Our aim is to create systems that are socially acceptable whilst sustaining any resources which may be affected.

Maidstone Tree Services undertake forestry work to provide timber, wood fuel, wildlife habitats, recreational facilities, landscape and community protection, employment, aesthetically appealing landscapes, biodiversity management, watershed management, maintenance of natural water quality, erosion control as well as preserving forests for the reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

We understand that forest ecosystems are an incredibly important component of the biosphere.
