Ash Tree Removal Ravenstone
Clayton Brothers Tree Surgery was recently contracted for the removal of two mature ash trees in Ravenstone, both suffering from ash dieback—a widespread and destructive disease that weakens tree structure and poses serious risks to people and property.
What is Ash Dieback?
Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a fungal disease that affects ash trees, causing leaf loss, crown dieback, and bark lesions. Over time, it weakens the structural integrity of the tree, making it prone to sudden collapse. When found near public spaces or buildings, prompt removal is often the safest course of action.
Our Approach to Diseased Tree Removal
- Site Inspection & Safety Planning: We conducted a full risk assessment of both trees to determine the safest dismantling method.
- Tree Climbing & Sectional Dismantling: Our arborists climbed and dismantled the trees in manageable sections using advanced rigging techniques to control the drop zones.
- Debris Clearance: All wood and brush were processed on-site using our chipper and removed, leaving the area safe and clear.
- Final Checks: We ensured the surrounding area was secure and advised the property owner on future planting options.
The Result
Both diseased trees were successfully removed without incident. The risk to nearby structures and residents was eliminated, and our client was relieved to have the job completed quickly, professionally, and with minimal disruption.
