This is why you should never high Pollard ( cut off the top and branches to encourage new growth) a tree. It creates a high risk of decay which causes new growth to be unstable and likely of structural failure. Also the decay is not observable from the ground meaning this will go unnoticed until it's to late.

A professional tree surgeon will never suggest pollarding a healthy tree under normal circumstances.

It’s a lovely picture, but with possible snow just around the corner- it’s time to consider any vulnerable / dangerous trees on your property or close to buildings. Heavy snow can easily bring down trees or branches, which can be prevented with a little tree surgery.

A wee bit of finesse on this one. This tree was dashing the shed and blocking light from the garden.

We removed some smaller limbs that were in contact with the shed and reduced the height allowing for more light and easier maintenance for the future.

- Kilbarchan / September 2021 -

Another interesting & complex project for the team- the customer had inherited an old boundary hedge that had grown through telephone lines and damaged the fence.

All was removed, for the fence to be saved and a summer house to be built at the bottom of the garden.

Before & After- What a difference, this extremely large tree was in contact with the house causing damage to slates and dampness to the walls.

Due to proximity to the house and the obstructed root zone unfortunately removal was the only viable option.

- Gourock / August 2021 -

This lovely Monkey Puzzle Tree had grown too high and the clients were concerned on it’s height, it’s proximity to the house and also needed a more manageable garden.

The tree had to come down unfortunately- but the RTS team did their best to leave the garden and the other trees / shrubbery in the best possible shape.

- Bridge of Weir / August 2021 -

Another “before & after”- the client here was redeveloping this garage / outbuilding and clearing the parking and building area.

We needed to clear a selection of bushes and trees fully to maximise the space available.

A rather complex project for the Renfrewshire Tree Surgeon team, with an “in progress” building site to maneuver round. The tree management & felling was the easy bit- then they had to exit the site with all kit and tree parts.

If you have a site or difficult access to work with, let us know.

Another “before & after” pic- The winds of autumn are just around the corner and the client with this tree, too close to his (and his neighbours) fence, needed a timely solution.
