Home › Ivy Removal › Hemel Hempstead
Ivy that has been left to climb a mature garden tree adds weight and sail area to a crown that is already large. On a big tree it is often severed at the base and left to die back, which is far less damaging to the bark than stripping it off green.
This page is about ivy removal here specifically — the ground, the plots and the access that shape how the work is done, in a town where the planting is all the same age, so problems arrive street by street rather than garden by garden.

What Ivy Is Growing On in Hemel Hempstead
Ivy cares far less about soil than most plants, so here the chalk with a clay cap over much of the town, drying quickly on the higher ground and staying wet in the Gade valley matters mainly for how quickly it returns from the roots once cut. What it is climbing decides the method, and on new town estates where everything was planted at once in the 1950s and 60s, so whole streets of trees are reaching full size together that is usually the more important half of the answer.
Ivy on Hemel Hempstead Buildings and Boundaries
Here we are usually clearing ivy from new town estates where everything was planted at once in the 1950s and 60s, so whole streets of trees are reaching full size together. On sound modern brickwork it is largely cosmetic; among new town estates where everything was planted at once in the 1950s and 60s, so whole streets of trees are reaching full size together the places it does real damage are soft old mortar, render, fascias and roof edges, and telling those apart comes before anything is pulled.
Clearing Ivy in Hemel Hempstead
Access here is generally good — estate roads, driveways and rear access were designed in, which is one of the advantages of a planned town, which on ivy work mostly affects the volume, because established ivy produces a great deal of material and all of it has to come out. Because the planting is all the same age, so problems arrive street by street rather than garden by garden, ivy rooted on a neighbouring property is worth establishing early.
What Is Underneath the Ivy in Hemel Hempstead
Taking established ivy off is usually the moment something else is found — mortar that needs repointing, a fascia that has rotted, a fence that was being held up rather than damaged. Among new town estates where everything was planted at once in the 1950s and 60s, so whole streets of trees are reaching full size together that is the norm rather than the exception, and none of it is caused by the removal.

Yes, and among new town estates where everything was planted at once in the 1950s and 60s, so whole streets of trees are reaching full size together it usually makes sense to.
