Ivy can be appealing but it can also harm your trees
Sometimes a tree can be smothered or strangled by the proliferation of ivy and other climbing plants, and we can remove this for you and treat the problem effectively. While ivy can add a touch of charm to your property, it can also be detrimental to the health of your trees. Our professionals will carefully remove ivy, preventing it from suffocating or damaging your beloved trees.
Removal of ivy is recommended where the tree is likely to be killed by ivy growing over the top.
Ivy can attach itself to tree trunks and branches, creating a dense mass of foliage. As it grows, the weight of the ivy can put additional stress on the tree's structure. Over time, this added weight can weaken the tree, making it more susceptible to wind damage or even uprooting.
By controlling ivy growth, tree surgeons help preserve the structural integrity of the trees and reduce the risk of failure.
We also recommend not to attempt to remove ivy from a tree yourself, as many people underestimate the toxicity of the leaves as a skin irritant. Always wear gloves and protective clothing when handling ivy.
