As the tree was definitely dead, a quick conversation with the local tree officer allowed us to proceed with a 5 day notice being served. It was still a very solid dead tree and so it was safe to climb and remove, albeit with lighter rigging than with a living and healthy tree.

Day 1 was spent removing the canopy and with day 2 bringing in the bigger machines to remove the timber and grind the stump, ready for a replacement tree to be planted later in the year. 

The mini loader is essential for reducing the manual handling of large timber, reducing the stresses and strains of lifting by hand, reducing the time required on the saws (saving fuel and vibration hours on the user) but also it is key on reducing the mess made with ringing up timber and so reducing the time spent clearing up!

Leylandii hedgerows are probably one of the most popular hedges we come across mostly due to their cost and growth rate. However, the downside to this is the amount of maintenance they require to keep in good condition. 

Now this extensive work has been undertaken, a maintenance plan has been created so that the hedge will be trimmed a couple of times a year to ensure it is kept in peak condition as well as the bowling green grass!

The decision was therefore made to remove the tree, including grinding the roots, and a new tree was planted in its place.

Working with the customer we concluded on a smaller Prunus ‘Pink Perfection’ to be planted in the spot the eucalyptus used to inhabit, as it is a much smaller species with plenty of interest in the leaves as they start a bronze colour when first bursting out through green and finish a rich orange colour in autumn. That is on top of the beautiful drooping clusters of pink blossoms that feature in late spring.
