Tree pruning
I have been out of action for the past couple weeks due to some health issues so to those who tried getting in touch from my last post I apologise I couldn’t respond to you in a reasonable time frame.
My name is Jack and I have made this small tree business as ‘side hustle’ to my full time job as an apprentice arborist, working for 1-2 Tree Services. I think doing my own tree work on a part time basis will compliment my apprenticeship training.
Unlike other large and well established tree companies, I unfortunately don’t have all the fancy machinery and equipment available at my disposal (such as a wood chipper) so my ability to remove waste from properties could be a problem for some. Fortunately I do have the basic tools for pruning such as a small chainsaw and a pole pruner. I am also familiar with climbing techniques and have my own climbing equipment, If the job requires me to climb.
Services I provide are:
-Crown reduction
-Crown lifting
-Crown thinning
-Crown cleaning (dead,diseased,dying)
-Drone and cat rescue
I am choosing not provide tree removal as a service because I do not have the skills and experience in that type of work right now. Depending on the size of the tree and it’s condition, it can be extremely dangerous. I suggest contacting 1-2 Tree Services for tree removals and more risky pruning jobs.
Please contact me through email with what your after (provide a photo if possible) if your interested.
