🌳 Tree Planting in Progress 🌳

Our Foremost Tree Surgeons planting team has been hard at work so far this planting season. This week, our team has been along this cul-de-sac planting a variety of young trees to support long term environmental growth. Each tree is carefully planted, staked, protected, and mulched to ensure the best possible start.

Proud to be helping create a greener, healthier future. 🌱🌤️

Just over a year on, our planting team has returned to Stroud Green in Newbury to replant 70 Lombardy poplars bringing back the beauty, heritage and greener future this much loved avenue represents.

Local authority members joined us for the ceremonial planting of the first tree, marking the next stage of the project. After removing 56 declining poplars in November 2024 and completing ground preparation in spring 2025, this winter’s planting brings the full cycle of work from felling to replanting to completion.

Originally planted in the early 1970s, the avenue had reached the end of its natural life. Assessments highlighted safety concerns, and following strong community support for replanting the same species, the Council committed to restoring Stroud Green’s distinctive character.

This project reflects our shared focus on safety, heritage and community. The new Lombardy poplars will protect the classic landscape while enhancing biodiversity and air quality for the future.

Attending the planting were: Richard Compton (Foremost Tree Surgeons), Cllr Billy Drummond, Cllr Phil Barnett and Jon Gurr (West Berkshire Council).

Our new Kubota KX030-4, alongside its Klou excavator grab, is already proving its worth on an ash dieback site. Paired with the UFKES Greentec chipper, it delivers fast, efficient clearance power, precision, and productivity for us at Foremost Tree Surgeons.

Plus, some extra footage from our other sites as well.

The Badger Job! 🦡🌲🌳

We recently carried out a specialist project to remove selected declining and dangerous trees posing a threat to a busy main road located along a bank that was home to large badger sett. Our priority was ensuring the sett and the surrounding ground remained completely undisturbed whilst still dealing with the immediate issue of removing the trees identified for removal.

To achieve this we took specialist advice from an external ecology team and brought in a 90-tonne crane, allowing us to lift and remove all materials without impacting the ground and to ensure all processing was carried out as far away from the Sett location as possible.
We worked alongside our colleagues at Richard Hall Ltd who utilised their Albach chipper to process the wood and transport it off-site.

Thanks to the professionalism and coordination of everyone involved, the job was completed efficiently and safely with the surrounding ground and badger 🦡 sett left untouched.

A recent domestic job where our team safely dismantled and felled a mature oak tree in the customer’s back garden.

Once the tree was removed, we used our stump grinder to fully grind out the stump, leaving the garden neat, tidy, and ready for future use.

Another job completed to our Foremost Tree Surgeons standard safe, efficient, and professional from start to finish.
