Tree Maintenance
BPDMCL recently completed was some necessary tree works in response to a detailed inspection report we had commissioned in April 2016. Following receipt of the report, we undertook further consultation with residents before agreeing on a course of action. We suffered some administrative delays on seeking the necessary planning permission, and then suffered further delays after our previous landscaping contractors, Greenfingers, ceased trading. Finally, we were able be proceed with the tree works through our contractors, Ambience, between April and June 2018. A report on the tree work undertaken can be found below.
Tree maintenance report
Work carried out by Ambience Landscapes, April – June 2018. Please refer to the Brentry Park Development Estate Map below which shows the reference numbers and position of the trees.
Hornbeam (T1): Dead wood removed (note, we are aware that there are significant amounts of dead wood in this tree, however, given its attractiveness and prominent position on the estate, our approach is to manage its condition and remove a minimal amount dead wood e.g. where there is a potential safety risk).
Copper Beech (T2): Dead wood removed.
Sycamore (T3): Dead wood removed and GEFA Strap Band Light Bracing applied in 3 sections to the large included fork.
Sycamore (T4): Formative pruning undertaken to shape tree and reduce back competing leaders.
Horse Chestnut (T5): Small formative pruning undertaken to shape tree.
Beech (T6): No work required.
Sycamore (T7): Dead wood removed. GEFA Strap Band Light Bracing applied to 3-way included fork.
Sycamore (T8): Dead wood removed.
Beech (T9): No work required.
Oak (T10): No work required.
Silver Birches (x3) (T11/T12/T13): Stabilising ties removed (trees now well established after being planted by BPDMCL in 2012).
Ongoing maintenance:
Trees inspected by Ambience as part of regular maintenance visits (in particular for any safety risks e.g. of falling branches caused by weather damage etc. and general tree health). Bracing to be inspected annually and adjusted if required and replaced after 8 years.
