Mature ash trees affected by ash dieback can become structurally unstable and dangerous, particularly as the disease progresses. TreeStation has the experience and fleet of mechanical options, including MEWPs and excavators fitted with grapple saws, to deal with these trees safely, reducing risk to our team and the surrounding area without compromising on quality.
Where site constraints, structural proximity, or overhead obstructions rule out conventional felling, TreeStation delivers precise, methodical solutions. Our technically skilled team plans and executes complex fells and dismantles, including sectional dismantling and rigging, to manage risk effectively across live sites, critical infrastructure, and high-value assets.
TreeStation undertakes emergency treework, drawing on our experience and range of mechanical options to respond effectively whatever the situation. Our emergency treework qualified arborists work efficiently and safely to clear the risk, giving you peace of mind when it matters most.
Some trees present significant risk through decay, structural instability, or their location near people, property, or infrastructure. Drawing on our experience and fleet of mechanical options, from MEWPs to crane mounted grapple saws, we assess and undertake the most challenging of trees safely, choosing the right method to reduce risk at every stage without compromising on quality.
We carry out treework on and around the highway in full compliance with relevant regulations, including Chapter 8-compliant traffic management. Working closely with local authorities and National Highways, we plan and deliver each job to minimise disruption to road users and pedestrians, keeping the public safe while getting the work done efficiently and to a high standard.
For larger-scale or time-critical projects, TreeStation deploys a range of mechanised solutions to complete work safely and efficiently. Our equipment includes various types of grapple saws mounted on cranes of different sizes, a fleet of forestry excavators fitted with grapple saws or tree shears in a range of sizes, and a 26t timber truck and 32t hook loader for efficient removal of arisings. Whatever the scale of the contract, our technically skilled team selects the right equipment for the job, reducing programme time without compromising on quality or safety.
For traffic-sensitive sites where daytime working isn’t practical, we carry out treework at night to minimise disruption to road users. Fully compliant with traffic management and highway regulations, and with specialist resources to carry out work at night with minimal noise disturbance to local residents, our team delivers the same high standard of safety and quality after dark as we do during the day.
We use our fleet of MEWPs (cherry pickers) to remove overgrown vines and climbing plants from buildings and structures, particularly where growth has started to cause damage to roofs, gutters, brickwork and other fabric. We work carefully to strip back the growth without harming the structure beneath, leaving the building clear and ready for inspection and repair if necessary.
Whether it’s a single specimen tree or a larger planting scheme, our team can plant, stake and establish new trees to give them the best possible start. We advise on species selection, planting method and aftercare, and can also relocate established trees where required.
Tree planting often forms part of a wider woodland management or habitat creation project: helping restock woodland, replace felled trees, or add new planting to a landscaping scheme.
We design and install features that give local wildlife somewhere to thrive, from bird and bat boxes to bespoke habitat structures like hollows carved into living trees to provide years of habitiat for targeted species. Working alongside our woodland management and vegetation clearance work, we look for opportunities to leave a site better for nature than we found it: retaining deadwood habitat, creating log piles, or installing purpose-built features such as swift towers.
Habitat creation sits naturally alongside our wider ecology and woodland management services, and we’re happy to advise on what would work best for your site.
From overgrown scrub and invasive species to full site clearance ahead of development, our vegetation management team handles jobs of any scale using a mix of hand-cutting and specialist mechanised equipment.
We carry out sensitive clearance work with ecology in mind, and can advise on invasive species control, seasonal timing around nesting birds, and how to leave a site in the best condition for what comes next. All work is carried out by our fully qualified, insured team.
