I am a tree surgeon in my early thirties and have been in the trade since my teenage years
I started my career as a groundsman and after qualifying as a tree surgeon secured full-time employment with a local company where I learnt my trade. After gaining experience and confidence I went to work in Australia before returning home to set up my own business in 2009.
Having lived in Norfolk all my life I've had the benefit of building up a good reputation locally by word of mouth. Yet, as many tradesman in todays current financial climate, I'm eager to work hard at increasing my customer base to stand me in good stead for the future.
I have gained over 15 years experience of working as a tree surgeon in Norfolk and Suffolk and in 2009 I was fortunate enough to work in Melbourne in Australia.
These examples of projects that I have undertaken show just part of the tree surgery services that I offer.
Limb removal on a large Oak tree
A customer asked for a large limb of a mature Oak to be removed which extended further than the rest of the crown of the tree.
In this instance the limb was over several out-buildings and had to be reduced back in handheld sections to limit risk.
Conifer tree fell close to telephone wires
This Conifer was felled in close proximity to a telegraph pole with several telephone wires running through the tree.
The tree was dismantled branch by branch, then the trunk was felled when it was reduced to the height of the telegraph pole.
Melbourne, Australia in 2009
I was fortunate enough to work for a tree surgery firm in Melbourne in 2009. This was around the time of widespread fatal bushfires within the Victoria state of Australia.
During this time I spent months felling unsafe fire damaged Eucalyptus trees within residential areas and public highways. This involved removing dead wood and dangerous branches.
These photos show me felling large trees after the bush fires in Kinglake and the view from a Eucalyptus tree which was situated over a tennis court and road in the suburbs of Melbourne.
Poplar tree reduction using a mobile platform
Some trees require just the very tips of the canopy to be reduced and in some circumstances you can achieve a better shape by using a mobile cherry picker.
Where access is granted we can hire this equipment to undertake such tree reductions.
