Apex Tree Surgeons understand the importance of preserving the environment at both the local and global levels. It is our policy to minimise the environmental impact of our work in any way we can and our teams take every measure and precaution possible to avoid damage to the habitat. We strive to limit pollution and ensure that all work is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Where possible it is our policy, promote re-planting as this helps reestablish the local environment rather than detract from it.
Leaving dead tree stumps and habitat piles minimise the impact on the local fauna and encourage wildlife diversity. However we do recognise that some customers would prefer that these are removed entirely and obviously ours is to comply with your wishes.
We encourage our customers to install bird and or bat boxes where appropriate and while we are working on the tree we are happy to hang these without charge.
We recycle or reuse any waste product accumulated throughout our work. Wood or wood chip is sold or donated to be used as firewood or garden mulch and all other green waste is sent to recycling facilities in order to minimise landfill usage.
Apex have taken a number of steps to reduce our overall carbon footprint. All journeys are carefully planned in advance and consideration given to purpose and routes so avoiding energy wastage. All vehicles and machinery are regularly serviced ensuring maximum fuel efficiency and alternative green fuels are used where possible. All vehicles and machinery is never left idling when not in use.
We continually assess our environmental policy seeking out and implementing new advances in technology or working practices. By this we hope to continually improve our high standards and ensure that we are doing our absolute best to minimise our environmental impact.
In formulating our policy we consider all relevant environmental legislation then educate all staff to understand and implement our strategy.
