Our tree - arborist services
Thinking ahead for a better environment
Improving the landscape for your business
Ensuring that people are kept safe and the highways are clear. Many businesses and commercial interests with land and property are concerned about more than their legal obligations though. They also want to present a professional image to the wider world.
By employing the services of professional arborists such as R B Tree Masters, you can ensure you are protected legally and seen to behave responsibly by commissioning tree surveys and arboricultural reports. With our help, you can draw up a long-term tree management plan, help to preserve ancient trees, and look to the future with new planting.
Here are just some of the services we offer in the commercial sector:
Tree Pruning
Pruning is essential to maintaining a healthy tree and can help to prolong its life. Of course, sometimes it becomes essential when your light is being blocked too. We take great care to avoid injuring the branch above the cut, which is a skill developed through regular practice. It’s important to get a professional to do this job, or you may find you’ve left the tree vulnerable to decay.
There are, of course, different approaches to pruning.

With Crown Lifting, we create more light and space, by ensuring a vertical clearance between the canopy and a road or pavement.
Some trees are suitable for Crown Reduction, which can help reduce canopy spread rate and risk of limb failure.
The Pollarding technique is appropriate for particular types of trees and means cutting back heavily to a more simple crown structure. Used predominantly in areas of little space and on trees that react vigorously.
Tree Felling
Felling is usually a last resort if the options above aren’t feasible or if the tree is unsafe or needs to be removed for some other reason.
In a straight fall, we take the tree down to ground level, but it’s also possible for one of our team to climb the tree and dismantle it in sections – which may be the only option in a confined space.
We are very conscious of habitat issues and take seriously our responsibility to wild birds and bats, which are legally protected.

If you’re left with an unsightly stump when a tree is felled, we usually recommend a method of removal that doesn’t involve chemicals. Grinding out the stamp will allow you to replant afterward.
