About Me

As a passionate arborist with a broad experience and love for the job I find myself to be happy and content within this industry. As a keen outdoor enthusiast with a heart for the countryside, wildlife and nature, I enjoy the many connections between work and pleasure.

Diseased Trees Removed in Ecclesall, Sheffield

Several trees removed with the assistance of a crane.

DB Tree Care - Subcontracting    

The line of trees removed suffered from various diseases, some of which are secondary. The two main diseases being meripilus giganteus and  Ganoderma applanatum, which both eventually can lead to the failure of the tree. 

Due to the trees close location to the public, building and overhanging car park they were removed. 

The aid of a crane was necessary to dismantle the trees swiftly within a day. Although cranes increase productivity massively, they also reduce the amount of labor and strain on the workers bodies.

Here are a few photos from the days work:
