Always clearing away after ourselves:

Ace Tree Surgeons
After our work is completed using rigorously tested, certified equipment, we will collect and dispose of or recycle all the waste incurred during our work. There are few things we dislike more than seeing unnecessary waste, which is why as much of the timber we create as possible is gathered, seasoned and sold on as firewood, or is repurposed as wood chippings to surface children’s playgrounds and other public spaces.

How we are helping to alleviate the ash dieback catastrophe

  • What is ash dieback?

     Ash dieback is a tree disease caused by the fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The fungus originated in Asia, where its impact is limited due to the host trees' evolutionarily developed resistance. However, since being introduced to Europe some 30 years ago, it has devastated our native European ash species, threatening it with almost total extinction - a financially costly loss and a huge blow for the biodiversity of our woodlands and natural habitats.

  • What does it do and how will I be able to spot it?

    The fungus spreads by airborne spores, which land on the leaves of trees and stick to them. The fungus develops within the tree, obstructing its water transport systems and ultimately bringing about its death.

  • The warning signs to look out for are:

    • Dark patches on leaves
    • Wilted and discoloured leaves even in summer
    • Lesions at the base of the branches
    • Brownish-grey bark developing under the lesions

  • What can be done?

    At the moment there is no chemical treatment for the disease. The only reliable solution is felling and removal. Ace Tree Surgeons are experienced in handling trees affected by the fungus and are able to competently and professionally carry out this service for you, minimising the spread of the disease and, hopefully, protecting your remaining trees from its clutches.

  • How can I help?

    Report your suspicions via the Tree Alert website

    Clean shoes, boots and tyres before and after visiting woodland

    Refrain from taking plant material with you when you leave a wooded area

    Fallen ash leaves can be burnt, buried or deep-composted to disrupt the lifecycle of the fungus
