Over the last 10 years we’ve been entrusted with looking after the trees at Ealing Studios in West London. We carry out a yearly assessment of their tree stock and provide recommendations to ensure their trees are safe, healthy and attractive.
On Thursday 6th March we carried out a crown reduction to a Lebanon cedar, one of a row of three Cedars which compliment a grassed courtyard between filming studios.
Matt, Chester, Jake and Dylan arrived early with our vehicles which included a truck mounted Cherry picker to ensure we carried out the work in a safely. The tree would have been a very challenging climb and the benefit of a Cherry picker increased safety to our operatives as well as ensuring any cut limbs could be safely lowered or dropped to the ground. Safer for the studio users and our ground staff too.
After completion of the site safety brief, the guys created an exclusion area using barriers and Matt and Jake climbed high in the cherry picker to start the pruning.
4 hours later the Cedar tree had been reduced 2.5m towards the neighbouring property as well as having the deadwood removed and the remainder of the crown balanced to ensure an even appearance.
It’s a great to have a strong, collaborative relationship with the team at Ealing studios to ensure we can provide the best customer service, deliver excellent tree surgery and help maintain the trees at one of the boroughs most iconic sites.
