Garden maintenance is all very well and is definitely a key part of maintaining your garden but preparedness only goes so far. While we also provide protective measures against weather damage there’s often little you can do in the face of the full force of mother nature. Severe weather can result in significant damage to your trees and plants. At Newlands Tree Surgeons we offer several reactive measures to help get your garden back to its best following storm or other damage.

DAMAGE RESTORATION

Trees can become damaged in a number of ways, but there is plenty that we can do to improve their appearance afterwards. If your tree has been damaged by a storm, or even deliberate vandalisation, we can carry out pruning to enhance its appearance significantly. This can involve removing broken branches or altering the crown until it is more ‘even’. We can also give support to branches which, while still attached to the tree, are at risk of falling should they suffer any more trauma.

CABLING

Often, trees require a bit more support than they can provide for themselves. They might have become significantly less robust due to old age, or they might have become damaged in stormy conditions and high winds. By attaching steel cables between select branches, we can provide it with the extra sturdiness required to ensure it stands firm.

BRACING

There are many reasons as to why trees might require a bit more support through bracing. They may have been damaged by storms or high winds, have suffered from improper pruning, or have become weakened and compromised due to old age.

STAKING

Staking is another form of support for trees. By installing guy wires into the firm ground and attaching them to the trunk of the tree, we can give the tree vital support and make it significantly more resistant to things like high winds.
