Specialist Tree Operations

Oakdale provides specialist arboricultural operations where works require advanced planning, experienced arborists and specialist access equipment.

These operations are typically undertaken in environments where access is restricted, risk levels are higher, or surrounding infrastructure, property or public safety must be carefully protected.

Our work is built on the ability to assess, understand and manage complex tree situations safely and efficiently, deploying the right methods and equipment for each individual site.

• Confined or restricted access locations
• Sites adjacent to infrastructure and utilities
• Historic, heritage and sensitive locations (including churches and cemeteries)
