Hintlesham Hall Golf Club Timber Extraction
We have embarked on a large project at Hintlesham Hall golf club felling and extracting large decaying trees that are invasive to the native setting of the Hintlesham valley.

It’s feeling Festive!
Here at Dedham Vale Tree Surgery, we are already starting to feel the Christmas spirit as we notice more and more of our lovely customers for our tree surgery services in Essex and Suffolk have their Christmas decorations up.

Working with cranes
At Dedham Vale Tree Surgery we consider ourselves pretty lucky to be for the most part doing a job we love. Some days are always more fun than others. Sometimes it isn’t so good because of tough weather conditions, whilst other days are amazing. This week we had one of the amazing days out in […]
Storm damaged trees
So the recent fallout from storm Francis has brought in some emergency work in both Manningtree and East Bergholt with not only windfall branches and trees down but also one tree struck by lightning.

On my site assessment, I decided the best course of action was to utilise our cherry picker and complex rigging […]
