Ash Tree Pollarding, Blackawton

The Client Brief

For this project, our client was a homeowner based in Allaleigh, near Blackawton who required a hard reduction of a veteran Ash tree. This Pollard was necessary as the Ash tree had extensive decay at the base.

As the tree is a local veteran, it was important to retain its structure and health, while eliminating risks associated with the decay.

The Challenges

The main challenge we faced in this project was the extensive decay at the base of the Ash tree. This required us to reduce the canopy to minimise the risk of failure and to maintain the large tree safely.

Additionally, the tree’s location presented a logistical challenge for our team, as there was no space or access for a cherry picker which would usually be required for a project of this scale.

Despite the tree’s deteriorating condition, we understood the necessity to leave it as aesthetically pleasing as possible and this was a main concern during the operation.

What We Did

At Kneebone Trees, we pride ourselves on quick and efficient service. Upon receiving the enquiry for this project, we promptly responded by sending a competitive quote to the client which they greatly appreciate as it allows them complete transparency throughout the operation.

Once we got to the site for the Pollarding, our work involved careful handling of the decayed tree. The decayed tree needed to be Pollarded to reduce the risk of failure, but also needed its structure and aesthetic appeal to be rained as this particular tree is a crucial part of Allaleigh’s landscape.

The Outcome

The outcome was highly satisfying for both the client and our team. We managed to retain the veteran Ash tree while also significantly reducing the risk of failure and potential property damage.

This was done while maintaining the tree aesthetically, preserving its importance in the local scenery. Our systematic approach and priority for client satisfaction have once again proven successful, leaving the client very pleased with our service.
