About Us

We are known for how much we care about trees and the environment. We believe that trees are essential not only for making our gardens and landscapes beautiful but also for the important role they play in maintaining the health of our planet. Our main goal is to make sure trees are well cared for, protected, and able to grow strong and healthy. We put a lot of effort into ensuring that each tree gets the right care and attention, helping it stay happy and thrive for years to come.

Trees are much more than just a decorative feature in a garden. They provide shade, shelter, and structure, making any outdoor space feel more inviting and comfortable. At Rotherham Tree Services, we understand the crucial role trees play in shaping the overall look and atmosphere of your garden or landscape. Whether you’re planting new trees, maintaining mature ones, or redesigning your outdoor space, we offer a full range of tree care services that help your trees grow strong and stay healthy. We’re passionate about caring for trees and work hard to ensure that they continue to contribute positively to your outdoor space.

Pruning and Shaping Trees for Health and Beauty

One of the most important services we provide at Rotherham Tree Services is pruning and shaping trees. Pruning is the process of removing certain branches to encourage healthy growth and maintain the tree’s shape. It helps the tree grow in a balanced way, preventing it from becoming too dense or tangled, which could restrict airflow and light. Regular pruning is also important for removing dead or diseased branches, which can help prevent the spread of disease and pests, ensuring the tree remains healthy and safe.

We also specialize in shaping trees to enhance their natural form. Shaping isn’t just about making trees look nice—it’s also important for their overall health. For example, we use a technique called crown thinning, which involves removing some branches to allow sunlight to reach the lower parts of the tree and the plants around it. This helps promote healthier growth for both the tree and other plants in your garden. If your trees are located near walkways, driveways, or areas where people pass by, we can also lift the crown—this means raising the tree’s lower branches to create more space underneath, improving safety and access.

Planting Trees in the Right Place

When it comes to planting trees in your garden, placement is everything. At Rotherham Tree Services, we take the time to consider where each tree should go in your garden, ensuring that it will thrive for years to come. Different trees have different needs. Some need full sunlight, while others prefer the shade. Some trees have deep roots, while others have shallow ones. By considering the soil, sunlight, and available space in your garden, we help you choose the right trees and plant them in the best spots.

The right placement can also make a big difference in the beauty and function of your landscape. Trees can frame a view, create privacy, or provide shade. We can help you design your tree layout to make your garden look its best. When planting, we make sure the roots are properly placed in healthy soil, and we plant the tree at the right depth to help it establish strong roots. After planting, we add a layer of mulch around the base to help the tree retain moisture, keep the soil cool, and prevent weeds from growing.

Caring for Older Trees

Mature trees are often the most beautiful and valuable part of any garden, providing shade, shelter, and a sense of history. However, older trees need special care to stay healthy and continue to thrive. At Rotherham Tree Services, we have a lot of experience caring for mature trees. We know how to ensure they remain healthy and strong for many more years.

We start by carefully inspecting the health of your trees, looking for any signs of disease, damage, or pests. If we notice any problems, we will create a treatment plan to address them and help restore the tree’s health. For example, if a tree is suffering from a pest infestation or a disease, we’ll take steps to treat the problem and prevent it from spreading. We can also cable and brace trees that have weak or damaged branches, which helps support the tree and protect it from breaking during storms or strong winds.

In addition to checking for pests and disease, we also pay attention to the health of the tree’s roots. Healthy roots are essential for a strong tree, so we make sure the tree is getting enough water and nutrients. In some cases, we might recommend soil aeration or adding fertilizer to improve the soil and help the tree grow stronger.

Protecting Your Trees and Landscape

Taking care of trees isn’t just about trimming and planting—it’s also about protecting them from environmental stress. Trees can be damaged by pollution, construction work, and changing weather conditions, so it’s important to take steps to protect them.

At Rotherham Tree Services, we offer several services to help protect your trees. If there is construction or landscaping work happening near your trees, we can help protect their roots by using root barriers or root pruning techniques. This ensures that the trees continue to receive the nutrients and water they need to grow, without being disturbed by surrounding activities.

We also provide storm protection for trees that are at risk of breaking during heavy winds or storms. This can involve installing cables or braces to help support weak branches, preventing them from snapping and causing damage. We regularly monitor the health of your trees to catch any new problems early, ensuring that they stay safe and healthy.

Supporting Sustainable Tree Care Practices

At Rotherham Tree Services, we care deeply about the environment, which is why we focus on using sustainable tree care practices. We believe that healthy trees not only benefit your garden but also contribute to the health of the planet.

We use organic fertilizers and natural pest control methods whenever possible to avoid using harmful chemicals that can damage the soil and surrounding plants. We also prioritize planting native tree species, which are better suited to the local environment. Native trees require less maintenance, water, and care, making them a more sustainable option in the long run.

Another way we promote sustainability is by encouraging our clients to consider the tree canopy in their landscape designs. The tree canopy is the spread of branches and leaves, and it provides shade, reduces energy costs, and helps improve air quality. By planting trees with healthy canopies, you can make your garden more comfortable and help reduce the urban heat island effect, which is when cities become hotter than surrounding rural areas due to a lack of greenery.

Designing a Landscape with Trees in Mind

We also believe that trees should be a key part of your overall garden design. At Rotherham Tree Services, we help you integrate trees into your landscape in a way that works with the other elements of your garden. Whether you’re designing a new space or redesigning an existing one, we offer advice on how to place and care for trees as part of your overall design.

We can help you balance trees with other features in your garden, such as flower beds, paths, and seating areas. We also ensure that trees aren’t planted too close to buildings or other structures, where their roots could cause damage. Plus, we help you choose tree species that complement the overall style of your garden, whether you want a natural, wild look or a more structured, formal design.

So, we offer a wide range of tree care services to help you create and maintain a healthy, beautiful outdoor space. Whether you need help with planting, pruning, protecting, or maintaining trees, we are here to help. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring that your trees thrive and continue to make your landscape more beautiful, sustainable, and enjoyable. We believe in providing professional, environmentally friendly care that will help your trees grow strong and healthy for years to come.
