SERVICES TREE FELLING AND REMOVAL Trees are an essential part of our homes and public spaces, and while we love the greenery they provide, occasionally they need to be felled and removed for a number of reasons. STUMP GRINDING Once a tree is removed, the remaining stump can be ground using a stump grinder. These machines consist of a spinning wheel with teeth that mulches the stump. The leftover product is a fine mulch that can be left to settle and fills the hole where the tree once stood or can be spread over the surrounding garden. TREE PRUNING Pruning your trees is a necessary part of maintaining your property for both aesthetic and safety reasons, and also improves the health and extends the life of the tree. DEAD WOODING Trees create deadwood naturally. This is where branches die and become brittle and eventually break. Dead Wooding is a process that improves the health and aesthetics of the trees and importantly makes them safe from falling limbs. It is generally recommended for deadwood trees in high traffic areas, over houses and driveways. LAND CLEARING If you are about to commence building on a new block, Springwood Tree Works can assist with clearing the land.
