Our Range of Services

Derwent Charcoal & Tree Services offers a comprehensive suite of tree care solutions including:

• Crown Thinning: This involves selectively removing live branches throughout the crown of a tree to promote even foliage distribution, enhance light penetration, and reduce wind resistance, thereby minimizing the potential for storm damage.

• Crown Lifting: By strategically removing lower branches, we improve clearance beneath the canopy, ensuring safety for pedestrians and vehicles, and allowing greater light access.

• Crown Reduction: This technique balances a tree's health and structure by reducing its height and/or spread through the careful removal of branch tips.

• Pollarding: This intensive crown reduction technique is suitable for trees with overgrown canopies or structural defects. It can significantly reduce the crown size, promoting vigorous re-growth and shaping the tree for optimal aesthetics and stability.

• Coppicing: This involves cutting a tree back to just a few inches above ground level, encouraging the growth of multiple stems.

• Fruit Tree and Shrub Pruning: We provide specialized pruning for fruit trees to stimulate efficient fruit production, improve fruit quality, reduce pest and disease risks, and manage the tree's size and shape.

• Deadwooding: The removal of dead, diseased, or weakened limbs mitigates hazards, prevents decay, and promotes the overall health of the tree.

• Tree Felling: When necessary, we safely and professionally remove trees, minimizing damage to surrounding property.

• Emergency Tree Care: We are available 24/7 to respond to urgent tree emergencies, such as storm damage or trees posing an immediate threat.

• Stump Grinding and Removal: Efficiently remove stumps from your property, leaving a smooth, level surface for landscaping or construction.

• Woodland Management: We offer comprehensive guidance and management strategies for ensuring the health, biodiversity, and productivity of woodlands.

• Vegetation Management: We manage unwanted vegetation in various settings, including highways, utilities, and private property, ensuring safe access and aesthetic appeal.

• Hedge Cutting: We professionally shape and maintain hedges, enhancing their appearance and functionality.

• Fencing: We install and repair fences, providing secure boundaries and privacy.

• Tree and Woodland Surveys: Detailed assessments of trees and woodlands to identify potential risks, assess health, and inform management strategies.
