Tree Reduction in Warninglid West Sussex

When our client made contact, a member of our experienced team of tree surgeons went to their accommodation, completed a free of charge quotation and advised them on the next best steps. On inspection, it was clear that the oak had dieback and the decline was due to the 2022 drought.

Once we clarified that there was no tree preservation order (TPO) in place, work was able to commence. When a TPO is in place, an application is needed. This process is essential where necessary however, can bring a delay or incompletion when refused by the local authorities.

Oak trees are a member of the beech family, they live for around 600 years however, contenders for the oldest oak trees (as old as 1000 years+!) continue to thrive in Cheshire, Lincolnshire and Wiltshire.

To allow the large oak tree in Warninglid, West Sussex to have a chance of thriving again, a 5m reduction was made. Our experienced team worked safely whilst being mindful of their surroundings. Our highly qualified climber was able to lift the crown and reduce the canopy, resulting, in an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Within British culture and history, the oak tree plays a vital role. There are two native species of oak in the UK. These are the sessile oak and the English oak however, other variations including Turkey oak, northern red oak, holm oak and cork oak do grow within the British countryside.

The work carried out by our professional arborists will promote new and healthy growth, which will prolong the life of this large oak tree. Our arborists used special techniques to carefully lower the branches to the ground ensuring that the surrounding fencing and hedges were not damaged.

The waste from the tree was stacked on the other side of the fence. The client wanted to use the branches for a local village bonfire. Tree Marshalls Ltd. always aim to dispose of green waste with the environment in mind. As a family run business, where possible we support local projects where our wood chip and waste can be utilised.

The client was really happy with the results and has left us a positive review. “Very, very happy with the way Tree Marshalls rejuvenated our oak tree. In particular they took time to perfectly shape the tree and it stands as a feature in our garden. The team are friendly, tidy and very professional. We would definitely recommend them.”
