Quality Tree Surgery Equipment

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Tree Surgery Cambridge is a delicate process and one that requires the utmost care with the surrounding environment and the tree itself. There are many different aspects that fall under the umbrella of tree surgery and each of them requires these high-levels of care. Here at SP Landscapes we achieve this by using quality equipment that is at the forefront of all tree surgery methods used across Cambridge and Britain – ensuring that a minimal impact is made on the surroundings and your trees.

While some of our services will only require the skilled hands of our surgeons and the right tools from trusted tool suppliers, there are certain larger-scale aspects of tree-surgery where the use of machinery and equipment is a necessity. We understand that just the word ‘machinery’ can bring with it worries of a cumbersome, loud and environmentally damaging piece of equipment, so below is just a small selection of the types of equipment we use to provide the best tree surgery with only positive results.

Stump Grinding

We own and operate stump grinders for the removal of unwanted stumps after the felling of various trees. The use of this equipment is much kinder to the environment than complete stump removal and will result in a much better outcome. We are able to grind stumps down to 300mm below ground level before backfilling the hole with topsoil and either seeding or turfing to leave no trace of the stump and no detrimental effect on the area.

Tree Felling

At times problem trees will need to be removed but you may not believe this is a possibly if you live in a particularly built up area. Our use of mechanical platforms which allows sectional felling and branches being lowered to the ground safely makes tree felling in any environment possible.

All of our tree surgery Cambridge offers unrivalled quality, value and professionalism that is backed up by our Approved Contractor Status with the Aboricultural Association, so if there is a tree or set of trees outside your home or workplace, or even if you work for a building contractors Cambridge, make sure to call SP Landscapes.

What is Tree Surgery?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

Tree surgery is a service performed by highly qualified and experienced tree surgeons, and whilst the services of a tree surgeon are in regular demand, their job description is often confused with that of a forester. To give you some idea of the role and tasks that our fully qualified arborists are able to perform, we have compiled this brief guide which outlines tree surgery Cambridge and the services that all of our tree surgeons are proficient in.

As experienced arboriculturists ourselves, we at S.P. Landscapes have an in-depth understanding of the duties involved in tree surgery. Now, as the name suggests, tree surgery often involves tasks such as cutting off dead, unhealthy or hazardous branches, removing an entire tree which poses a risk, is dead or plagued with disease, or restoring an unhealthy tree back to its original health. Whilst tree surgery does focus primarily on trees, tree surgeons also often specialise in planting, maintaining, and growing shrubs and plants.

The services provided by a tree surgeon are often physically demanding and very dangerous, which is one of the reasons why all tree surgeons need the appropriate qualifications and level of experience to be classified and work as a tree surgeon.

Tree surgery services can include:

- Grounds Maintenance
- Tree Care
- Tree Felling
- Tree Management
- Wood Chippings
- Vegetation Management
- Spraying
- Pest Control
- Grass and Hedge Cutting
- Stump Grinding

The services provided by us at S.P. Landscapes are typical of any tree surgeon proficient in their area of expertise.

At S.P. Landscapes, safety is fundamental, which is why we would recommend that for anyone looking to hire the services of an arborist, to check and see if they are fully insured. This is for your own peace of mind, as it offers home security Norwich in the event a tree should accidentally damage your home (which is very unlikely, but still possible), or if our tree surgeons hurt themselves. If you require the expert services of a professional tree surgeon who has extensive experience operating within the tree surgery Cambridge profession, be sure to get in touch with us.

Landscapes. The views and opinions of authors expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of S.P. Landscapes, and shall not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes.

Tips on Tree Surgeon Services in Cambridge

Friday, August 12th, 2011

As a tree surgeon you will find yourself trimming and maintaining trees throughout the day. Although this may sound easy enough – it actually demands the attention of a highly skilled and trained professional. Alongside being physically demanding, various aspects of a tree surgeons’ profession are in fact very precarious and dangerous. As arborist ourselves, the team here at SP Landscapes are on hand to offer you invaluable tips on how to perform your role as a tree surgeon Cambridge to the upmost in professionalism.

Tip One: Training

To operate a successful arboricultural business all the staff must have the appropriate qualifications and training. The specialist nature of the job demands the attention and skill of a trained individual. Training schemes which has been about since 2002 are the Lantra Awards and the certificates of competence (COCs), which are awarded by the City & Guilds NPTC. The training primarily focuses upon tree climbing, pruning and dismantling of a tree.

As Arboricultural Association Approved Contractors, we are extremely confident that all members of our team are able to perform these operations in an efficient and safe manner.

Tip Two: Use of Equipment

One way to maintain high levels of health and safety, whilst delivering a superior level of service to the consumer, is by sourcing the correct equipment. One piece of equipment which we feel is essential in performing an efficient and quality assured service is the stump grinder. Unlike other companies who use excavator hire Oxford, our process of grinding the stump down is a lot quicker, while simultaneously minimising the disruption caused to the ground.

Tip Three: Insurance

Due to the high risk attached to the occupation of an arborist, insurance is essential. Here at SP Landscapes we have public/product liability, employers liability, professional indemnity and Hire in Plant insurance.

This protects us and our customers. It is good practice to have the correct insurance, as both business and consumer could otherwise suffer. If you would like more information from one tree surgeon to another, or you are a consumer seeking the services of a professional tree surgeon Cambridge contact SP Landscapes today on 01638 750186.

Finding a Tree Surgeon in Cambridge

Friday, August 5th, 2011

Many gardeners look forward to the first signs of blossom on their fruit trees, quickly followed by fruits growing overhead. However, over time the tree which once provided a focal point to your garden along with hours of entertainment for the children as they were growing up, can become too big and dangerous to leave unmaintained. In these situations, you’ll require a fully qualified tree surgeon Cambridge to provide you with assistance in pruning back/cutting down the tree.

If you have a tree which is currently in need of some TLC, it’s important, as you would when looking for a heat pump engineer, to ensure that you hire an arborist who has the right qualifications and skills to handle the job at hand. Fortunately, our team at SP Landscapes have compiled a guide of what to look for in a tree surgeon company.

1) Health and Safety – Whether it’s tree felling or tree care, health and safety plays an important role so it’s essential to ensure that the firm you’re contacting hold all the relevant Health and Safety accreditations. Our team here at SP Landscapes work in accordance with the strict guidelines set out by the British Standards and Arboriculture Association. All members of our team are also fully qualified to NTPC standards.

2) Insurance – Even when working to the strict guidelines mentioned above, accidents can still occur which is why it’s important to ensure that your chosen tree surgeons have a high level of insurance. Here at SP Landscapes we’re insured up to the value of £10million and send a copy of our certificate with every quote.

3) Knowledge – Tree surgery is a vast field in which to work in, which is why it’s important to hire contractors who have a thorough knowledge of all areas. At SP Landscapes we’re fully dedicated to training our team in all necessary fields, enabling us to handle a broad range of tree care services.
