Services

At South Down Tree Care (NI) we offer a wide range of tree surgery services and ensure that they are always carried out to the highest professional standard.

Specific types of pruning may be necessary to maintain a mature tree in a healthy, safe, and attractive condition.

Tree
Cleaning & thinning

Cleaning is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
Thinning is selective branch removal to improve structure and to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown of the tree. Proper thinning opens the foliage of a tree, reduces weight on heavy limbs, and helps retain the tree’s natural shape.

Raising & Reduction

Raising removes the lower branches from a tree to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and vistas.
Reduction reduces the size of a tree, often for utility line clearance. Reducing a tree’s height or spread is best accomplished by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to secondary branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). Compared to topping, reduction helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree.

When a tree has to come down in a confined space, felling is not an option, so we undertake sectional dismantling instead, bringing the tree down a piece at a time. This is highly skilled work where experience and knowledge are needed and since each tree and its circumstances are unique, the team at South Down Tree Care will discuss the project, identify any particular hazards, then decide the most appropriate technique and equipment to use.

Storm Damage Tree surgery county down Northern ireland 24 hour emergency tree services — Storm Damage

Most damage to a property during severe weather occurs when limbs or trees fall. High winds and saturated soil conditions and high winds can cause tree roots to fail and branches to weaken. During winter, the weight of ice and snow accumulation can be equally damaging, resulting in failure of branches and entire trees. South Down Tree Care provide 24 Hour Emergeny Service in the event of an emergency and can also inspect any tree you may have concerns about and give you professional advice.
