Ash Dieback

Ash Dieback Disease Management

Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a devastating fungal disease affecting ash trees across the UK. It weakens the tree’s structure, making it prone to branch failure and eventual death, posing significant risks to public safety and the surrounding environment. Early identification and proper management are crucial to mitigating its impact.

At ATC, we specialise in the safe and efficient removal of diseased ash trees. Our procedure includes:

  • Assessment: Inspect the affected trees to evaluate the extent of the disease and determine the safest course of action.

  • Preparation: We obtain necessary permissions and ensure all operations comply with local regulations.

  • Safe Removal: We carefully dismantle the tree(s) to minimise disruption and ensure safety.

  • Waste Management: All debris is responsibly processed, with options for wood recycling or safe disposal to prevent further disease spread.

  • Site Restoration: We can replant or advise on suitable replacements to promote biodiversity and restore the landscape.
