Ryland Horticulture ltd can supply and lay any type of grass seed or quality of turf to provide our customers with what they require. All turfing and seeding is undertaken to the highest current landscape standards and specifications of good practice. Areas are cleared, prepared, fertilized, consolidated and sown or turfed. Staff do not trample all over the turf whilst being laid, but work from boards to protect the surface. A light top dressing and rolling is undertaken to complete turfed areas. Not only can we supply and lay grass turf but also wildflower turf as well. Areas can be maintained by Rylands Ltd if so required.

A tree surgeon is a highly trained professional responsible for the planting, maintenance, well-being, aesthetics and felling of trees.
A tree surgeon must be multi-skilled, as they’re called out to all manner of situations:
Dead branches which could fall at any moment
Roots damaging driveways or pavements
Old, wobbly trees
Overgrown trees blocking sunlight from gardens
Tree stumps preventing building work
Before any felling, pruning or treatment takes place, we complete a full risk assessment. The health of the tree, the surrounding environment and the public’s safety must all be taken into consideration.
In the dream scenario we protect all three, but that’s not always possible. Sometimes the tree must come down.
A qualified tree surgeon will check with the authorities if there’s a Tree Preservation Order in place. To cut down or damage a tree without permission can incur a fine of up to £20,000!
Once a decision’s made, it’s time to get to work. The specialised tools and equipment used by a tree surgeon put even Batman to shame – chainsaws, chippers, cherry pickers, stump grinders etc And that’s just for cutting. Then there’s the climbing equipment required to get up and down safely – harnesses, ropes, spikes etc.
So, in a nutshell, a tree surgeon is:
Highly skilled with dangerous and heavy machinery
Knowledgeable about local laws and regulations
An expert at performing risk assessments
A proficient climber
Knowledgeable about a vast array of flora and fauna.
What else does a tree surgeon do?
A tree surgeon’s job doesn’t start and end with felling. As stated earlier, they’re involved in the full life cycle of the tree.
While not landscape gardeners, they know their craft. They can recommend the best trees to plant in certain spaces, taking into consideration space, soil and other external factors.
Hedges fall under their remit too. While it may seem like light relief, cutting privets after dealing with 40-ton oaks, they have the tools for the job and they know how to use them.
Another mainstay of the surgeon’s role is removing tree stumps. A tree stump may look like an innocent lump of wood, but they can be cause all sorts of problems.
Tree stumps can be like icebergs – what you see above ground bears no resemblance to what’s below. A qualified tree surgeon will have to decide the optimum way to deal with it – grinding, chemicals or straight removal.

Having been Approved Contractors since 1989 and one of the longer approved contractors ( 34 years!) , it is excellent news that Rylands still maintain the highest expected standards for tree works.
The company were assessed on Health & Safety procedures, Nursery organisation, Staff competency and training, Customer care & relations, Machinery & tool maintenance and a host of other areas which were all up to the required and legal standards.
This not only gives our team pride and confidence, but also our customers in the York area, that Rylands are giving a complete tree surgery/arboricultural service of the highest standards, second to none.
Well done to all involved as it can be a stressful process!
We have been a bit quiet on Facebook at Rylands due to the amount of work we have had to get through over the autumn/winter period. Still very busy though!! We thought it was about time we upgraded our old TrimbleT41 for tree surveying. This is our new Trimble TDC600 an all singing and dancing model for the next few years. Technology moves on so fast and within 5 years our TrimbleT41 was outdated. We look forward to using our new hand held computer, on a new survey of nearly a thousand trees. Happy surveying February!!
