A job we undertook earlier this week.
The Pine stump was 5ft in diameter and the customer wanted us to grind it out and level off the ground around it.
The predator stump grinder along with our little Yanmar excavator sorted the job.

We've also been busy recently with all aspects of hedge maintenance from carefully reshaping ornamental shrubs to tackling large hedge trims and carrying out hedge reductions to create a more manageable healthier, and better looking garden.

With professional equipment, years of experience, and a commitment to high standards, we deliver safe, efficient, and high quality workmanship that leaves your hedges and shrubs looking neat and tidy.

During the bird nesting season, we take extra care to thoroughly inspect all hedges and trees before any work begins, ensuring that no active nests or wildlife are disturbed.

If your garden could benefit from a professional hedge trim, reduction, or general maintenance this summer, we'd be delighted to help.

Hello everyone!

Sorry we've been a little quiet on here lately. We’ve been so busy that we've simply forgotten to take photos of our work! This job, however, was too interesting not to share.

Unfortunately, at the end of last week, this mature beech tree suffered from Sudden Limb Drop, also known as Summer Branch Drop. This is the unexpected failure of large branches from apparently healthy trees usually during hot, calm summer weather. The exact cause isn't fully understood but high temperatures, water stress, and hidden structural defects are all thought to play a role. Regular tree inspections can help identify potential issues and reduce the risk to people and property.

We discovered this beech had a significant structural defect and was also home to a large bee nest. The cavity created within the tree had weakened the timber resulting in a major fracture and split in the main stem.

Due to its location alongside a public road and footpath, the tree was deemed unsafe and had to be removed.

With the help of our hardworking team and Island Crane Hire and our 8-inch chipper, and our tractor with timber grab, we were able to dismantle and remove the tree safely and efficiently.

We hope you enjoy the photos and videos!

Hello Everyone,
This week we’ve been working on 2 large poplar removals for a client whose trees had become heavily overgrown for the garden area and were starting to pose a risk to nearby properties and a car park area.

The trees were carefully dismantled and removed, with all arisings processed on site. The timber was left in larger sections at the client’s request, and the brush was chipped and recycled into useful woodchip mulch. Remaining stumps were treated to prevent regrowth and support natural decay.

The job was made much safer and more efficient using our 26m cherry picker, allowing us to access difficult areas with ease. (Also available for hire – ideal for trees, hedge work, and other hard-to-reach projects.)

🌳 Hello Everyone.

We’ve had a full-on few days on site tackling a range of tree work.

One of our larger jobs included removing a Sycamore that had outgrown its space, along with an Ash tree suffering from ash dieback and leaning toward the client’s property.

We also carried out some targeted limb removals from a multi-stemmed london plane tree, where heavy limbs were overhanging both a garden and a telephone line.

We also had to stump grind the remaining stumps using our impressive Predator stump grinder, helping the client move forward with their garden re-landscaping. (Video in comments)

🌳 Big Tree Dismantle This Week 🌳

This week the team tackled a very large Leylandii (× Cuprocyparis leylandii) that had unfortunately outgrown the garden. Due to its size and height it had started posing a risk to the property and several neighbouring properties, so the decision was made to safely dismantle it down to a stump at an agreed height with the client.

This was a technical dismantle, with sections carefully rigged down using ropes to safely avoid several nearby targets including a neighbour’s pond, hot tub and fencing. Rigging like this allows us to control each section as it comes down and helps minimise disruption or damage to the surrounding garden.

A big thank you to the lovely customers who kept the team going with a steady supply of tea, coffee, cakes and doughnuts – very much appreciated by the crew! ☕🍩

If you have a tree that’s outgrown its space or becoming a concern, feel free to get in touch. Nigel Earley Services Ltd

Thought some of you would like to see a video of our new log splitter.
It's capable of splitting 2.5m long lengths.
Awesome bit of kit.

Hello All,
Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet on the posts recently. Our teams have been very busy over the past couple of weeks carrying out ash dieback safety works on rural footpaths, woodland areas, and roadsides for a number of woodland charities and organisations across the island.

Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a disease that affects Ash tree. It slowly weakens and kills the tree, making the wood brittle. When the infection becomes severe, branches — or even the whole tree — can fail, which is why affected trees sometimes need to be safely removed.

Here are 5 key signs to look out for if an ash tree may have ash dieback:

1.Dead branches in the crown – the top of the tree begins to thin, with bare or dying branches.

2.Black or wilted leaves – leaves may turn dark, shrivel, and fall earlier than normal.

3.Dark lesions on the bark – diamond-shaped or sunken patches where the bark appears damaged.

4.Lots of new shoots on the trunk – the tree produces small shoots lower down as it struggles to survive.

5.Brittle or falling branches – dead limbs snap easily and may fall even in light winds.
