Our Gwynedd Tree Services
-
Removing diseased, dying, or structurally unsound trees can significantly reduce the risk of falling branches or entire trees, protecting property and preventing injuries.
Removing trees that pose a threat to buildings, power lines, or other structures can prevent costly damage.
Removing overgrown or unsightly trees can improve the appearance of a property. Removing trees that obstruct views can improve visibility, making the property more appealing. Removing trees near play areas, walkways, or driveways can make these areas safer.
-
Coppicing is a traditional woodland management technique where trees are cut back to near ground level, encouraging new growth from the base. This can be used to produce firewood or timber, or to create wildlife habitats.
Both pruning and coppicing require skill and knowledge to be carried out safely and effectively.
Our qualified tree surgeons can assess the specific needs of each tree and recommend the appropriate treatment.
-
Our hedge-cutting services in Gwynedd involve the trimming and shaping of hedges to maintain their desired size, shape, and health.
Hedge cutting can help to improve the appearance of a property, prevent overgrowth, and encourage healthy growth.
-
Our Hedge removal services in Gwynedd involve the complete removal of a hedge, including the roots.
This service can be necessary for various reasons, such as creating more space, improving visibility, or replacing an old or overgrown hedge with a new one.
Our tree surgeons can safely and efficiently remove hedges of all sizes and types, using specialised equipment to minimise damage to surrounding areas.
-
Our tree pruning services in Gwynedd involve selectively removing branches to improve the health, safety, and appearance of a tree.
This can include crown thinning, removing branches to reduce the density of the crown; crown reduction, shortening branches to reduce the overall size of the tree; pollarding, cutting back branches to a specific point, encouraging new growth; and deadwooding, removing dead or diseased branches.
Crowning and pollarding are specialised tree surgery techniques used to manage tree growth and shape.
We skillfully employ these methods to improve tree health, safety, and aesthetics. Crowning involves reducing the overall size of a tree's canopy by removing branches.
This can be necessary to reduce the weight of the tree, improve clearance for buildings or power lines, or to enhance the tree's appearance.
Pollarding is a more dramatic technique where branches are cut back to a specific point, often near the trunk. This stimulates vigorous new growth and is commonly used for traditional woodland management and to create distinctive tree shapes.
Both crowning and pollarding require careful planning and execution to avoid damaging the tree's structure and health. We ensure that the cuts are made cleanly and at the correct angles to promote healing and prevent disease.

Tree felling & dismantling is the process of removing trees, either by felling them completely or dismantling them section by section. This is typically done for safety reasons, to create space, or to remove diseased or dying trees.
Our tree felling service in Gwynedd, North Wales, involves cutting the tree down in one piece, which is suitable for open areas where the tree can fall safely. On the other hand, tree dismantling is used when felling isn't possible, such as in confined spaces or near buildings.
Both methods require specialised equipment and expertise from our local tree surgeons to ensure safety and minimise damage to surrounding areas.
-
Our veteran tree management in Gwynedd involves the care and conservation of old, often ancient, trees. These trees are valuable for their ecological, historical, and aesthetic significance. They provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife, including insects, fungi, birds, and mammals.
Management techniques for veteran trees include:
Targeted interventions: This might involve removing deadwood to reduce the risk of falling branches or pruning to improve the tree's structure.
Habitat creation: Creating features like deadwood piles or bird boxes to enhance the tree's ecological value.
Root protection: Protecting the tree's root system from damage, such as by avoiding compaction and construction work nearby
Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the tree's health and condition to identify any potential problems.
By carefully managing veteran trees, our tree surgeons can ensure their survival for future generations and preserve the rich biodiversity they support in and around Gwynedd.
-
Stump grinding is a process that involves using specialised equipment to remove tree stumps from the ground. This is typically done after a tree has been felled or removed.
Benefits of Stump Grinding are:
Clearance: It creates more space and eliminates tripping hazards.
Aesthetics: Improves the appearance of your Gwynedd property.
Future Planting: It prepares the ground for new plantings.
Safety: Reduces the risk of injury or damage from the stump.
Stump grinding is a more efficient and less invasive method of stump removal compared to traditional methods like digging or burning.

Large tree felling, when done responsibly, can offer several benefits.
Removing trees that are diseased, dying, or structurally unsound can reduce the risk of falling branches or entire trees, helping to preserve wildlife in Gwynedd, Caernarfon, Bangor, Pwllheli and Snowdonia.
This can help protect properties in and around Gwynedd and prevent injuries. Removing infected trees can help prevent the spread of diseases to other trees.
Felling can also create new habitats for wildlife, such as birds and small mammals, especially if new trees are planted. Removing overgrown trees can open up views and enhance the aesthetics of a landscape.
Felling can also be part of a landscaping design to create specific effects, such as clearing space for a garden or water feature.
It's important to note that tree felling should be carried out by qualified professionals who understand the environmental impact and safety considerations involved.

Our Gwynedd tree removal services involve safely cutting down a tree and removing all of its parts. Our highly skilled tree surgeons are experts in safe and contained tree removal.
Trees can be removed for several reasons, for example, if the tree is:
Diseased or dead: If a tree is diseased or dead, it is more likely to fall, becoming a major safety concern for properties, people and local habitats.
Causing damage to buildings: If a tree is causing damage to a property, such as roots growing through foundations or on walkways, it may be a good idea to have the tree removed; otherwise, it can become a risk to the structural aspects of a property.
Aesthetic reasons: A tree can also be removed if it is taking up desired space or to increase light within a property.
-
Site clearance involves clearing an area, usually to prepare for construction or landscaping.
Our Gwynedd site clearance services include:
Vegetation and debris removal: We remove unwanted vegetation such as weeds, shrubs, trees and hedges.
Stump and root removal: Stump and root removal creates more space, reduces tripping hazards, and can help prepare a property or location for development.

To find out if your tree in Gwynedd is diseased, look for these key symptoms:
Leaf discolouration or loss of leaves: Leaves dropping early, or leaves turning yellow or brown, can be caused by diseases such as Ash Dieback.
Dieback of twigs and branches: Look for branches that appear dead or brittle, particularly starting from the tips of the crown. This "crown dieback" is a classic symptom of many tree diseases.
Fungal growths: Mushrooms, brackets, or other fungi growing on the trunk, branches, or at the base of the tree often indicate internal decay or root rot.
Cracks in the bark: Deep cracks or lesions on the bark can be signs of bacterial or fungal infections.
Pest infestation: Visible insects, sawdust, or holes in the bark can point to borers or other pests weakening the tree.
If you discover any of these symptoms on your trees in or around Gwynedd, you should contact a qualified tree surgeon immediately. Early diagnosis can often save a tree and limit the spread of disease to other trees.
Contact our tree surgeons in Gwynedd today for early diagnosis of disease and expert management, to ensure your tree doesn’t become a risk to your property or other wildlife.
