Our Services
With over 15 years of Industry experience in arboriculture all tree work is carried out to BS3998 and health and safety of the team and members of the public is our number one priority.
Many trees are protected in the UK so before any work is undertaken, checks must be made to ensure it is not covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or situated within a Conservation Area. We have a good working relationship with the local district council tree officers and will happily offer expert advice and where necessary submit 6-week notice to the local planning authority on your behalf.

General Advice & Guidance
Tree Felling and Dismantles
Wherever possible, we aim to protect and preserve trees, however there are times when trees have to be removed to make way for construction projects or because they have become hazardous to public health and safety through storm damage, accidental trauma, structural weakness or disease.
Pruning and Re-shaping
Effective pruning is a skilled job that can be of great benefit to trees, increasing the yield of fruit trees and lengthening the life of many species.
Deadwooding
Deadwooding is the practice of removing dead branches from your tree. It’s a crucial part of tree maintenance that cuts away loose or dying branches, which are the most likely to be knocked loose during a storm.
Tree/Crown Reduction
When a tree starts to dominate its location we can perform a crown reduction to reduce the overall volume of the tree. This involves pruning the branches to appropriate growth points across the tree’s canopy.
Crown Lifting
This involves raising the tree canopy by removing lower branches back to the trunk of the tree. This is often required for clearance over roads, paths or buildings.
Crown Thinning
Removing crossing, dead or rubbing branches throughout the tree whilst leaving the main structure intact allowing more light and air to circulate around the tree.
Pollarding
Branches are taken back to the primary limbs or a historical pruning point to promote a dense head of foliage growth and determine the height of the tree, once a tree has been pollarded the process will need to be repeated every three to seven years depending on the species of tree.
Hedge Trimming
Regular hedge trimming maintains the appearance and health of a hedge. Whether annually or more frequently we are happy to take care of any size hedge and remove all waste materials that will be removed and be used for renewable fuels.
Tree & Hedge Planting
We work with a local nursery to supply and plant trees and hedges, replacing existing or looking to replace some fencing.
Stump Grinding
Once your tree work has been completed we can remove the stumps with specialist equipment to give you back the space by taking the stump out to below ground level and ensuring that it won’t sprout back into life.
24 Hour Emergency Call Outs
Responding to fallen or dangerous trees particularly after high winds.
Site Clearances
After any work at your premises all waste material will be removed (unless otherwise requested) and the site will be left clean and tidy.
