Tailored Precision
Long-Term Investment

Pruning is when you selectively remove branches from a tree and the goal is to remove unwanted branches, improve the tree’s structure, and direct new, healthy growth.

Pruning is one of best things you can do for your trees. A proper prune is both an investment in the long-term health of your plants and in the overall look and safety of your property. – Davey – Proven solutions from a Growing World.

What this means is that tree pruning may be necessary to maintain a tree in a safe condition. This involves cutting each branch to a growth point on the tree. We carefully cut each branch creating a nice shape around the tree canopy, reducing the height and width. All are pruning will be done by silky where possible, this will allow our Belfast tree surgeons to do accurate pruning cuts.

Please note in-proper pruning may result in the tree looking unsightly and make the tree vulnerable to diseases which could result in leaving them in a dangerous condition.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is a procedure of removing branches evenly throughout a trees canopy to reduce the density without changing the trees shape or size. Crown-thinning can be used as an alternative solution for trees that are at risk of failure from strong storms/winds, and can help increase light aswell as the removal of dangerous branches that may pose a risk. Too much crown thinning can cause the tree to fail or withstand strong gusty wings.

Crown Reduction

Crown reduction is a process where we reduce the height and width of the trees canopy. We can also do this to reduce the stress on limbs and increasing volume under crowns which can lead to greater light absorption.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting is a process of which we increase the height between the lowest branches/ limbs and the ground making this clear for pedestrians and vehicles to pass without obstruction. Often clients may want to increase light into property or land. Please note that Tree owners have a responsibility to ensure trees do not pose a H&S risk along highways and footpaths therefore crown lifting may be a possibility.

Dead Wooding

Dead wooding is often carried out when the limbs of a tree die or they become weak and eventually fall off. Dead wooding is vital to ensure safety in public spaces and communal areas at home as often branches can fail. We do this by working throughout the canopy removing any visible dead wood to a growth point or main stem.

Pollarding

Pollarding is removing all branches and limbs to a growth knuckle whilst being careful to not cut around the collar so that the tree can grow callisis to prevent rot and decay setting in. Pollarding is perfect for trees in close proximity of properties and confined spaces or fast growing trees.

What our clients say about us

Maggie Murdock 2 days ago

An excellent service. The hedge cutting was priced and a date agreed. The workers turned up on time, were very pleasant and worked extremely hard. All debris was cleared up and it was a job well done. I would be happy to recommend this company.

Theo Nugent 1 week ago

Good communication. They visited and priced the work, listened to what was needed whilst making useful suggestions. They did a really efficient and tidy job. They’ve also done work for a family member to a similar high standard.

Came to the lads with a slightly niche request… My poor cat Nico Beans got stuck up a tree on Sunday, and by Tuesday morning it was clear he wasn’t going to make his way back down.
The team were out within a few hours of being contacted, and had Nico down in a few minutes. They handled him so well (even though he was being a bit of a terror), and set us at ease immediately with their professionalism.
Would absolutely recommend Dr Green Tree Care to anyone! What a lovely bunch💕

Great experience with Dr Green Tree Care. Within a week of coming to look at my trees, they had sent me a written quote and texted me with a time and day when they could come and do the work. My trees were assessed by Chris and it was clear that he, and everybody else at Dr Green, knows about different types of trees and how to look after them properly. I chose them to do the work over other companies because I had confidence they knew what they were doing, and wouldn't damage my trees.

The crew who came to do the work were very polite and professional, did the work neatly and took all the waste away with them.

Thank you Dr Green Tree Care!
