Recycling
All of our tree prunings, are recycled by ourselves and the recycled compost is then used throughout our parks.
Our aim:
It is our aim to only cut down trees which are damaged, diseased or causing potential harm or damage to neighbouring properties or members of the public
We aim to only prune trees which are causing considerable obstruction to highways or properties
We aim to replace each tree removed with a new tree at a suitable location.
