Arboricultural Method Statements
This is a document detailing how a particular process will be carried out during demolition and proposed construction works in proximity to trees, in line with British Standard 5837:2005 Trees in Relation to Construction. It should include details on how the works will be managed and how the trees will be adequately protected during such a process. It is a document that many Local Planning Authorities (LPA) are now requesting as a condition of planning consent.

This is the removal of the lowest branches normally to give a uniform height from ground level. This does not include the removal of large branches growing directly from the trunk as this causes large wounds which may jeopardise the long term future of the tree. Common reasons for crown lifting are to bring more light and give access for traffic.

This is used to reduce the height and/or spread of the crown of a tree by the removal of the ends of branches whilst maintaining the tree’s natural shape and form according to species as far as practicable.

This is the removal of the smaller branches within the crown of the tree to reduce the density of the crown. Crown thinning includes crown cleaning and does not alter the overall size or shape of the tree. Common reasons for crown thinning are to allow more light to pass through the tree, reduce wind resistance or to reduce the weight of heavy branches and improve form.

This is the removal of any dead wood from within the crown of the tree. This ensures that dead branches will not fall causing damage to property or injury to people. This is recommended for larger trees over roads, driveways or gardens.

A frequently misunderstood term, and used in two different contexts. Traditionally and still commonly used this term describes the removal of all branches from the trunk. Mature trees that have not been pollarded before are generally not suitable candidates for this type of pollarding due to the large wounds that such treatment produces which may jeopardise the long term future of the tree. A less frequently used definition can mean the regular (annual of biannual) pruning back of small branches to the same point resulting in the formation of a ‘pollard head’. Pollarded trees usually require regular treatment of re-growth.

This is the complete removal of a tree down to ground level. This work involves the careful lowering of branches and timber so as not to cause damage or destruction to surrounding plants and structures. The stump will be left as close to the ground as possible but will be above soil level.

The straight fell of trees is the removal of trees as a single unit and is limited to such situations which pose no risk of damage to any property.

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
This is the removal of tree stumps after felling to a depth between 6 and 9 inches below ground level. The resulting debris is a mixture of soil and small wood particles left in situ, this product is normally disposed of within most gardens as a mulch, but can be removed if required. Stump removal consists of the complete removal of the stump and root ball of the tree and may be undertaken either by the use of hand tools or machine by digging around and under the stump and cutting all roots adjoining to it. Remaining holes are back-filled with soil or grinding waste to leave a level surface, unless otherwise specified.
