There are several reasons why clients, both domestic and commercial, reach out to our Suffolk-based tree specialists. Some need the expertise of tree surgeons who can diagnose an issue affecting the health and growth of a tree, while others seek the manual know-how of trained specialists who can prune, pollard, and cut away unruly and potentially dangerous branches.
But one thing many new and prospective clients don’t realise is quite how extensive our work is, and how many different services our specialists in Suffolk offer. In this blog, we’re talking through the ecological benefits of our tree services in Woodbridge and beyond, considering just how important a healthy and well-maintained tree is for surrounding wildlife.
How Do Trees Impact Ecological Diversity in Your Garden?
Trees are often the tallest structures in a private garden or open public grounds, marking boundaries, providing shade, and representing levels across a landscape for aesthetic interest.
Beyond that, however, they support a diverse ecosystem of wildlife on the ground and among surrounding shrubs, hedges, and plants, delivering hydration, providing crucial shade, and acting as a source of food and shelter for many.
There’s a reason why tree work is only allowed at certain times of the year, and it’s all because of habitats, food sources, and ensuring that nesting birds are protected.
Everything from pollarding and branch removal to grounds maintenance and stump grinding is carried out by tree professionals with a sharp eye on the nesting season and the impact on biodiversity.
What Does Tree Maintenance Involve?
With tree maintenance needing to be carried out in line with environmental and ecological regulations, what are the services that most clients require?
Tree maintenance usually involves initial tree surveys, which look at the structural stability of the tree and signs of disease, before prescribing a programme of branch removal, crown reduction, and other services.
The aim is always to maintain the aesthetic prowess and magnitude of a tree while also ensuring it falls in line with health and safety requirements. It’s important that trees are structurally sound with a low risk of dropping branches, and that any disease is identified early on.
How Do I Know If I Need the Support of a Tree Surgeon?
So, how do you know if you need the support of a team of trained tree surgeons?
