🔥 Ready to Burn Firewood – Stock Up Before the Rush
As the colder months creep in, our firewood stores start flying out the door — but there’s a smarter way to stay warm.
MAPLE Tree Surgery & Landscapes Ltd is fully Ready to Burn certified, meaning every log we supply meets strict standards for low moisture, clean burning, and efficient heat output. It’s better for your stove, better for your chimney, and better for the environment.
A lot of our customers wait until the first cold snap to order, but the truth is:
- Firewood is cheaper and more available in summer
- You avoid the winter rush when stock sells fast
- Logs have even more time to season if you store them early
- You’re never caught short when the temperature suddenly drops
Buying early is the easiest way to guarantee quality, price, and peace of mind — and your future self will thank you when the frost arrives.
Stay warm, stay stocked, and stay Ready to Burn with MAPLE.

Chester the Tree: Now Permanently Protected
Chester, Southend’s much‑loved 150‑year‑old London Plane, has officially been granted a permanent Tree Preservation Order — a huge moment for local residents, campaigners, and everyone who fought to keep him standing.
Local coverage has highlighted just how important this decision is. According to recent reporting, councillors voted unanimously to confirm the TPO, safeguarding Chester after months of public campaigning. One article described him as a “much‑loved 150‑year‑old tree” now receiving “long‑term protection” following concerns over redevelopment plans for a proposed 14‑storey tower.
Another report emphasised that Chester had become a focal point for the community, especially after plans for a 58‑flat tower were approved on appeal in 2024. The temporary TPO was recommended to be made permanent due to the strength of public support and the tree’s significance on Chichester Road.
Environmental voices have also highlighted Chester’s wider value. As the last remaining tree in the area, he plays a vital role as a natural air filter at one of Southend’s busiest and most polluted junctions — a key reason campaigners fought so hard to protect him.

🌱 Why This Matters
- Chester is now legally protected from removal, damage, or unnecessary works.
- The decision reflects the community’s commitment to preserving Southend’s green heritage.
- It safeguards a tree that provides environmental, historical, and emotional value to the area.
- It shows what can be achieved when residents come together with a shared purpose.
Chester isn’t just a tree — he’s a symbol of resilience, community pride, and the importance of protecting the natural spaces that make our towns feel alive.

Once again, Maple have had a busy winter with our gritting contracts.
Winter gritting isn’t just about spreading a bit of salt — it’s about protecting people and protecting your business.
At MAPLE, we support MET Police sites, NHS facilities, schools, and large commercial premises across London with reliable, proactive gritting services.
Keeping your site gritted reduces slip risks, lowers liability exposure, and helps prevent costly insurance or third‑party claims.
It also demonstrates a clear duty of care to staff, visitors, and the public — showing that you take safety seriously, even in the toughest winter conditions.

Please get in touch if you would like to a quote for next season and get you added to our routes.

Stay safe, stay compliant, and stay operational with MAPLE.
