Ivy Removal and tree cutting

Ivy can appear to look very pleasing to look at, especially as it is green all year round. Sadly the effect it has on trees can result in the demise of the tree, preventing light getting to the bark, preventing new buds from coming through and ultimately removing a food source from the tree. It can also produce a humid micro climate which can cause the trees wood to decay.

These trees were getting quite top heavy with ivy.

A dead hedge is made from cuttings.

The roots have to be removed to stop the ivy returning quickly.

A dead hedge is build from some of the cuttings, an efficient way of making a habitat and disposing of unwanted cuttings in an attractive way.
