Overgrown Willow Tree

Customer Background:

A homeowner contacted Southeast Tree Care to resolve issues with an overgrown Willow tree dominating their garden. The tree had grown excessively, creating shade, restricting space, and posing potential risks to the property. The customer wanted the tree reduced to a more manageable size while ensuring its long-term health.

Our Approach

1. Comprehensive Tree Assessment

Our qualified arborists carried out a detailed inspection of the Willow tree, checking for any signs of disease, decay, or structural weakness. This ensured that the pollarding process would be safe and beneficial to the tree’s future growth.

2. Precision Pollarding

The main objective was to pollard the Willow tree back to its previous points. This technique reduces the tree’s size while encouraging new, controlled and healthy regrowth. By balancing reduction with preservation, we maintained the tree’s vitality while improving safety in the surrounding area.

3. Documentation and Planning

We recorded the size, structure and location of the tree before beginning work. This provided a clear reference for shaping the tree during pollarding and will act as a useful guide for any future maintenance.

4. Risk Management

Safety was a top priority. The work area was fully secured, ensuring that falling branches and debris posed no risk to property or individuals. Our team used professional equipment and followed industry best practices throughout the process.

5. Efficient Project Timeline

The customer was provided with a clear project timeline, from initial assessment through to completion. The work was scheduled to minimise disruption, with the pollarding and full debris removal carried out quickly and efficiently.

Results

The Willow tree was successfully pollarded, restoring it to a manageable size and attractive shape. The tree responded positively, showing signs of healthy regrowth, while the removal of waste left the garden clear and safe. The customer was highly satisfied with both the results and the professional service provided by Southeast Tree Care.
