Practicality Brown Ltd transplanted 29 Commemorative trees at a care home in Ascot to make way for a new building. All the trees were in the 20-50cm girth size and were carefully pruned ready for transplanting into a woodland walk on the same site, which we undertook with our tree spade machine, enriching the environment for the residents.
With a reputation for sourcing specimen trees, we were asked to supply and plant an Oak tree in Datchet to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Celebration. We supplied a Quercus Robur (English Oak) which was 30 cm girth with a spread of about 3 metres and around 7 metres high.

With a reputation for planting big trees, we were asked to plant three very large, semi mature tulip trees (Liriodendron), at a private garden on the Oxfordshire/ Berkshire borders. Over 13 metres tall and girth circumferences of 100cm+, these trees required careful transportation, lifting and handling during installation. See the hedge & tree projects page for more images.
Screening Trees
A client living in Thurloe Square, London (near the Victoria and Albert Museum) wanted trees as a screen in their rear garden, which had no vehicular access.
Our solution was to use a crane to lift the Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) trees into position. With the limited access, this project required road closures; then each of the trees were when lifted over the rooftops and positioned directly into the prepared planting pit in the rear garden.
Major tree planting project
Practicality Brown had a large scale planting project in Buckinghamshire. The private development required over 250 semi-mature trees of at least 7 metres height, together with associated landscaping works, including Carpinus betulus box head trees, box hedging and topiary such as columns, Taxus pyramids and Buxus balls. The designer and client chose Practicality Brown, stating Read more →
