Tree surgery, care, and maintenance services

At Crown Tree Services, our main goal is always to do what’s best for the health and durability of your trees. Sustainability and safety are integral to us. With this ethos in mind, these are just some of the tree maintenance services we can conduct:

• Tree felling for safe and controlled tree removal with minimal disruption to the surrounding area
• Tree reduction to manage size, reduce shading, and minimise the risk of damage in poor weather
• Crown thinning to promote healthier, more vibrant growth by allowing more light and air through the tree’s crown
• Pollarding is a specialist tree pruning technique used to encourage new growth and control height and spread
• Stump removal to prevent regrowth and reduce the risk of disease or pest infestation after tree felling

From achieving polished, neat hedge corners to removing unruly shrubs, we can handle all aspects of vegetation management.

• Hedge trimming and removal: We know that hedges have a way of getting out of control. Leave it with us to define crisp boundaries and get things looking tidy once again.

• Shrub pruning and removal: We offer specialist shrub pruning services that prioritise and encourage healthy growth, as well as shrub removal services to rid your outdoor space of any unwanted or invasive plants.

• Japanese Knotweed management: Our team is trained and licensed to identify and manage Japanese Knotweed, using safe and effective treatment plans to prevent spread and ensure compliance with UK regulations.

Our team knows better than anyone that trees are complex beings — and we love them for it! However, this means that they often require more than trimming and pruning. Our specialist tree services will keep your trees thriving.

• Herbicide application: We use targeted, licensed herbicides to manage weeds effectively, ensuring minimal harm to the broader ecosystem.

• Planting schemes and advice: Unsure what to plant and where? Let our team put their expertise to work. We’ll assess important factors such as soil type, light levels, and layout, while also taking your preferences into account to create a tailored planting plan that suits your space. We’re happy to offer planting consultations to help guide your choices – please note that this service is chargeable. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs and find out more.

Tree surveys and professional assessment services

As a property or land owner, it’s your responsibility and Duty of Care to keep your trees in good condition and to ensure that they don’t pose a safety risk. Our tree surveys and assessment services are incredibly useful for planning applications, insurance purposes, and compliance with legal requirements.

• Tree surveys: We’ll assess and examine the health, structure, and safety of your trees with a detailed report included as standard. We also offer Tree Risk Surveys in Essex.

• Arboricultural consultancy: From expert guidance on tree preservation orders to development planning advice and site-specific tree strategies, our consultancy services support both private and commercial clients. We also provide arboricultural supervision on building, landscape, and construction projects to ensure trees are protected and managed throughout the process.

• Ecological surveys: If you’d like more insight into the biodiversity and wildlife present on your premises, our ecological surveys can help you with conservation efforts and planning applications required when dealing with a protected species or habitat.

Environmental management services

As arborists, we’re also fully insured and certified to help manage larger estates, woodland sites, and commercial premises. Our environmental management services balance nature, aesthetics, and regulatory compliance so you can benefit from a sustainable space for years to come.

• Landscape maintenance: We can conduct routine and seasonal maintenance, including mowing, weeding, mulching, planting, and more.

• Woodland management: Whether you need help creating a unique habitat or safely controlling an invasive species, our woodland management services are designed to support and preserve your biodiverse woodland. We prioritise low-impact solutions that protect the natural environment while effectively meeting your management goals.

• Habitat Creation: We also offer habitat creation services to promote local biodiversity, support wildlife populations, and align with environmental conservation goals.
