GTF Tree Care is a friendly family run business, established in 1991 which has since carried out all aspects of tree surgery, grounds maintenance, soft and hard landscaping for both domestic and commercial clients across the country. We have worked in partnership and under contract with several local authorities, national railways, highway agencies and have successfully delivered high quality services to many satisfied commercial and domestic customers. At GTF Tree care we pride ourselves on providing a fully comprehensive service for our customers from start to finish no matter how large or small the job.
Mr P was in dire need of a tree surgeon one Saturday afternoon when a van driver lost control of his vehicle and ploughed into his front garden in Harlow, Essex, taking down half a conifer hedge along the way. His property is situated on a main road and the damaged trees were encroaching on a pathway and access to the property. We attended immediately and removed the damaged trees, including the stumps. As the vehicle had leaked engine oil into the soil, the environment agency had to step in to prevent further contamination.
We recognise that on occasion it is necessary to remove trees, perhaps for safety reasons due to death or structural integrity being compromised posing a threat to nearby property and person. Sometimes trees just simply outgrow their environment. Regardless of size, condition or location, GTF Tree Care can remove your tree quickly, safely and expertly with no inconvenience to you.
Mr G called and asked us to take a look at his elderly mother's garden. She was no longer able to maintain it and over the past few years it had become very overgrown and unkempt. In fact, the problem was so severe it made the garden completely unusable. I visited the property, assessed the area, and talked Mr G and his mother through my recommendations. It was a lot of work; all of the large shrubs needed pruning, several trees needed reducing and everything else required a general tidy up. I made it clear from the start that it wasn't a quick and easy task, but Mr G was happy with my quote so we cracked on.
Mrs S approached us earlier this year because she had a large conifer in her rear garden that she wanted felled. She also wanted the stump removing. The problem was that the client did not have side or rear access; therefore, the stump grinding machine and the waste would have to come through her property. To avoid causing any damage to the client's home we laid boards to protect her wooden floors and covered as much of her hallway as possible with protective sheeting. This allowed us to take our machinery through the house and safely remove the waste.
Tree surgeons are specialists in the care and protection of trees. We are highly trained and knowledgeable in the needs and requirement of your individual trees. When you chose a professional to care for your trees you are making an investment which can lead to substantial returns. Well cared for trees are an attractive addition to any garden and can considerably add value to your property. Pruning and removing large trees is very dangerous work so please allow a professional tree surgeon to care for your trees.
The hole can either be backfilled to a level surface with a choice of soil or grinding waste. Smaller roots are usually left but can be removed if you so wish. GTF Tree care have several different sized stump grinding machines, thereby enabling us to access confined and restricted width areas.
Here at GTF Tree Care we believe that hedge cutting is a task that should be carried out by a trained professional who has knowledge of the shrubs and trees they are cutting and training on the potentially dangerous equipment they are using. Hedge trimming is an art in itself which, when done professionally will enhance any garden. GTF Tree Care has extensive experience in all forms of hedge cutting from formative pruning to maintenance trims. For newly planted hedges we recommend formative pruning for the first 2 years.
Trees are particularly vulnerable to the effects of high winds during a storm and sustain various types of damage as a result. A storm damaged tree is often left unsafe and unstable. That's why it's imperative to employ a professional tree surgeon to tackle the problem. GTF Tree Care has extensive experience in dealing with dangerous and vulnerable trees. We are able to quickly assess the problems and provide the best possible solution whether that's a full dismantling or just a heavy prune to remove the damaged branches.
We provide a comprehensive tree and shrub planting service from whip size through to semi mature with the selection of bare root through to large container plants. In partnership with our clients we personally inspect and choose suitable species for planting. We offer a fully supported aftercare service to ensure that all the plants are cared for in their first year and beyond. Planting trees is an ideal opportunity to enhance your environment and make a difference in your community. GTF Tree Care has over 20 years experience in site maintenance, from private blocks of flats to super market grounds and industrial sites.
