Lightning Damaged Tree Removal - June 2019

Artemis Tree Services Ltd were instructed by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council to remove a 25m tall pine tree that had been struck by lightning some time ago!

This was made particularly difficult as the tree had 4 bee’s nests nestled between the cracks of the lightning strike! As we know bees are endangered so these had to be removed carefully by our team at midnight on the night prior to the trees removal, whilst accompanied by a bee specialist.

Once the nests were safely removed we could remove the dangerous tree. This involved a full road closure to enable access for the 35 tonne crane! Once the road was closed we were able to remove the tree in 5m sections with all the large branches going into our 12 inch wood chipper and all the large cordwood getting loaded directly onto our 18 tonne Hiab truck.

After only 4 hours we were able to re-open the road! Leaving it clean and safe! Residents on site praised the team for the clean tidy up and the minimal disruption caused! All the resulting debris was taken back to our HQ were 100% of it will be recycled and turned into biomass energy.

Excelent service from start to finish.We had 23 conifer hedge trees removed and stumps ground out.It took a day & a half to complete by a team of 4,who were very professional and friendly. As we have no side access they carried everything through the kitchen and hallway, without any damage whatsoever. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Artemis again.

To portray the location of this multitrunked conifer tree, it had been planted as an ornament in a rockery yet over the years it had grown to a very large ten trunk tree. It was situated sandwiched tightly between my garage that has a fragile and easily breakable roof, a summerhouse having a flimsy timber roof and the garden timber fence, both also easily damaged. The tree felling gang of two men very carefully cut down the tree trunk by trunk and lowered the cut lengths to ground level without any damage whatsoever to the surrounding obstacles. All the tradesmen who carried out two operations, were very pleasant to deal with and I have nothing but praise for the couple of teams Artemis sent to fell the large conifer and secondly to grind out the trunk to ground level, the guys were all very polite and professional, they were a pleasure to work with as I just made the tea and drinks and provide some beverages for them. I am more than pleased with the work they carefully carried out in my garden, thank you. Many thanks for all of Artemis Tree Services help, I shall have no hesitation to recommend your company for tree work as I may be asked in the future.

The job involved trimming of Leylandiii trees in the rear garden.

We would recommend this company.
