Ivy removal from Houses and other structures

When growing Ivy is neglected and ignored on a property, outbuilding or commercial premises then it can easily get out of hand and eventually cause various expensive structural problems. Let"s have a look at a few of these potential downfalls if Ivy is left unattended and not maintained on a regular basis.

House and Garden Wall Damage

Ivy that grows on the walls of your house, external buildings, or garden walls, now we get posed questions quite regularly about will it cause damage to the masonry structure of these walls?. As always like most situations, it depends. If your brickwork is new or in a solid-state, then it should not pose any threat and cause damages, but I would advise still maintain its growth every year with a maintenance program. The problem we come across all the time is Ivy that grows on brickwork and rendering that is older in age, so there are always defects of some sort or another, like crumbling and cracks in the mortar, crevices in the bricks and rendering. These defects allow ivy the roots to penetrate these areas and expand considerably causing damages that we see only too often.

Other Ivy problems relating to houses and property

Ivy is good at damaging rendering and causing expensive damage
sIvy pushes up and lifts roofing tiles and soffits, which in turn can have an impact on the weatherproofing of your house. Ivy roots can weaken cement, mortar, and older brickwork. Ivy damages timbers like wood door frames, window frames. Ivy can choke other vegetation and starve them of light and nutrients. 


 Ivy can indeed be a problem climbing plant, but with some careful care and due attention, we can take care of it for you and cut back to a more manageable state. Our specialist tree surgeons and arborists are well able to deal with all sorts of invasive trees and plants that you may want to get rid of.

Wisteria is another popular climber plant and needs to be cut back to around two or three buds either once at mid-winter or a couple of times throughout the year. 

When Ivy produces a thick and dense coverage on external house walls it can start to house pests such as mice. Also, it can be easy for an intruder such as a burglar to climb the thick foliage, basically use the ivy-like ladder to enter your upstairs windows that may have been left open.

This also includes
 large conifers that are sited next to your property, we offer a reduction and trimming service on these large evergreens if you required. 

If you think that your ivy is growing out of control, then please call us now for a FREE consultation and FREE Quotation to have it trimmed back, pruned, shaped or totally removed altogether.

Services We offer

Tree Survey

A Tree Survey is a professional assessment conducted by certified arborists to evaluate the condition, species, size, and location of trees within a designated area. This comprehensive analysis plays a crucial role in understanding the ecological value, potential hazards, and overall health of the trees. It is essential for property owners, developers, and environmental consultants to make informed decisions regarding land use, tree preservation, and property development. By identifying issues early, a Tree Survey can prevent costly interventions later, ensuring the sustainable management and conservation of tree populations.


Types of Tree Surveys We Offer

We provide several types of Tree Surveys tailored to meet a wide range of needs, ensuring that every client receives personalised and comprehensive care for their green spaces.


Basic Tree Survey: This survey is ideal for individual homeowners or small property managers interested in a general health check of their trees. It focuses on identifying visible signs of distress or disease and offers basic recommendations for care and maintenance.


Advanced Tree Survey: Designed for larger estates, developments, or municipal projects, our advanced survey includes a detailed analysis of tree species, age, condition, and potential hazards. This survey is essential for planning and development, risk assessment, and long-term landscape management.


Ecological Tree Survey: Especially beneficial for environmental impact assessments, this survey takes a broader look at the ecological role of trees on a property. It evaluates biodiversity, wildlife habitats, and conservation status, providing critical data for sustainable land use planning.


Legal and Compliance Tree Survey: For clients needing to align with local regulations or involved in legal disputes, this survey focuses on compliance issues. It offers in-depth analysis and expert testimony related to tree preservation orders, boundary disputes, and other legal considerations.


Each of our surveys is conducted by certified arborists equipped with the latest technology and up-to-date knowledge on tree health and safety standards. Whether you’re looking to enhance the beauty of your property, comply with regulations, or contribute to environmental conservation, we have the expertise to support your goals.


How We Conduct a Tree Survey

Conducting a Tree Survey is a meticulous process that involves several crucial steps, ensuring every aspect of the trees' health, safety, and impact on the environment is thoroughly examined. Our certified arborists begin with an initial consultation to understand the client's needs and the scope of the survey. This is followed by an on-site visit where they systematically assess each tree's species, size, age, condition, and location using the latest tools and technology.


Data collection includes measuring tree dimensions, identifying signs of disease or pests, and evaluating structural integrity to identify potential hazards. GPS and GIS technology are often employed to accurately document the location and specifics of each tree, providing valuable spatial data for property management and planning purposes.


After the fieldwork, our team analyses the data, considering local biodiversity and ecological factors. We prepare a comprehensive report that includes detailed findings, recommendations for management and maintenance, potential risks, and compliance advice with local regulations. Our goal is to provide actionable insights that help our clients make informed decisions for the betterment and preservation of their green spaces.


Tree Reports

Purpose of tree reports

Tree reports are an essential tool that serves multiple purposes across various sectors, including urban planning, real estate development, environmental conservation, and legal compliance. The primary aim of these reports is to provide a detailed assessment of the tree population within a specified area, offering insights into their health, safety, environmental impact, and legal status. These reports are crucial for making informed decisions regarding land use, property management, and development projects. By identifying potential hazards and advising on preservation or removal, tree reports contribute significantly to public safety and the sustainable management of natural resources. Additionally, they help property owners and developers comply with local regulations, avoid legal disputes, and enhance the ecological value and aesthetic appeal of their land.


What's Included In Our Tree Reports

Our comprehensive tree reports include several key components designed to give property owners, developers, and urban planners a complete understanding of their tree inventory.


Tree Inventory: A detailed account of every tree within the specified area, including species, size, age, and health condition.


Tree Health Assessment: Expert analysis of the health of the trees, identifying any signs of disease, infestation, or weakness that could pose a risk or require management.


Risk Assessment: Evaluation of the potential risks posed by the trees, such as the likelihood of falling, which is crucial for public safety and property protection.


Preservation and Planting Recommendations: Based on the findings, we provide advice on the preservation of existing trees and recommendations for planting new trees to enhance the biodiversity and aesthetic appeal of the area.


Compliance with Local Regulations: Our reports include a thorough review of local environmental and tree protection laws to ensure that all findings and recommendations are in full compliance.


Maintenance Guidelines: Practical guidelines for ongoing tree care and management to maintain their health and safety over the long term.


Each report is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of our clients, ensuring they have all the information needed to make informed decisions about their properties and projects.


How Tree Reports Can Benefit You

Tree reports are a critical asset for anyone involved in property development, urban planning, environmental conservation, or simply looking to manage their property's green spaces more effectively. By offering a comprehensive analysis of the trees on your property, these reports enable you to make well-informed decisions that can significantly impact the safety, aesthetics, and value of your land.


For developers and urban planners, understanding the ecological dynamics of your site can lead to more sustainable and attractive designs, potentially increasing the value of your projects and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Property owners can benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing their trees are healthy, safe, and well-maintained, thereby protecting property values and contributing to a healthier environment.


In essence, tree reports lay the groundwork for proactive tree management, allowing for the identification and mitigation of potential risks before they become costly problems. They serve as a blueprint for preserving and enhancing tree coverage, leading to more resilient and livable communities. Whether you’re looking to comply with local regulations, enhance property value, or contribute to environmental conservation, a detailed tree report is an invaluable tool.


Tree Inspections

When and Why You Need a Tree Inspection

Tree inspections are a vital component of comprehensive property management and environmental stewardship. They are particularly crucial in several scenarios:


Before Purchasing Property: An inspection can reveal potential issues or liabilities related to the trees on the property, influencing the decision-making process and negotiations.


After Severe Weather Events: High winds, storms, and other extreme weather conditions can damage trees, making them a safety hazard. Inspections can identify these risks early, ensuring the safety of property and inhabitants.


For Routine Maintenance: Periodic inspections help in the early detection of signs of disease, decay, or pest infestations, allowing for timely intervention and reducing long-term maintenance costs.


Compliance with Local Regulations: Many localities have rules regarding tree preservation during construction or specific guidelines for managing trees in public and private spaces. Inspections ensure compliance and avoid potential fines.


Enhancing Property Value: Well-maintained trees can significantly boost property aesthetics and value, while neglected trees can become liabilities. A professional inspection can guide effective tree management strategies.


In essence, tree inspections are not merely about identifying immediate risks or compliance issues; they are about proactive management of the landscape to preserve and enhance its value, safety, and beauty.


What we look for during inspections

During our detailed tree inspections, our certified arborists focus on several critical areas to ensure the comprehensive evaluation of each tree and its environment. Here is what we specifically look for:


Structural Integrity: We examine the tree's overall structure, looking for any signs of weakness such as cracks, splits, or poor limb attachments that might imply a risk of failure.


Health: The health of the tree is assessed by looking at the condition of the leaves or needles, the presence of deadwood, and signs of disease or pest infestation.


Root System: The visibility and condition of the tree's root system are checked for signs of decay, damage, or instability that could affect the tree's anchorage and health.


Canopy Condition: We evaluate the density and distribution of foliage within the canopy, identifying areas of deadwood, overcrowding, or imbalance that may need attention.


Safety Hazards: Any potential safety concerns, such as proximity to power lines, buildings, or walkways, are noted, along with recommendations for mitigating these risks.


Environmental Impact: We assess the tree's impact on its surroundings, including potential interference with other plants, effects on soil stability and drainage, and contribution to biodiversity.


Potential for Growth and Development: Future growth patterns are considered, including space for root and canopy expansion and the potential need for pruning to promote healthy growth.

Our aim during inspections is not only to identify issues but also to understand the tree's role in the ecosystem and its potential growth, providing a holistic view of your green spaces to guide effective management and preservation strategies.


Immediate steps post-inspection

Upon completing a detailed tree inspection, immediate steps are necessary to address any identified concerns and to ensure the continued health and safety of your property. These steps include:


Providing a Comprehensive Report: Each inspection is followed by a detailed report outlining the findings, including any signs of disease, structural issues, or potential hazards. This report will also offer recommendations for addressing these concerns.


Prioritising Actions: Based on the inspection's results, we will help prioritise actions, focusing first on safety hazards and health issues that could have immediate impacts.


Scheduling Necessary Treatments or Interventions: If the inspection reveals the need for treatments (such as pest control or disease management) or physical interventions (like pruning or cabling), we will work with you to schedule these services promptly.


Developing a Long-Term Care Plan: Beyond immediate interventions, we'll outline a long-term plan for the care and maintenance of your trees, including routine inspections, to prevent future issues and ensure their ongoing health and beauty.


Consulting on Compliance and Permits: Should any actions require permits or need to adhere to local regulations, we will provide guidance on these processes to ensure compliance with all local, state, or federal guidelines.


By following these immediate steps post-inspection, you can rest assured that your trees are not only safe and healthy but also compliant with regulations and contributing positively to your property's value and the environment.
