Professional tree surgery services

Our professional tree surgery services cover the full range of arboricultural work, whether a tree needs reducing for clearance, thinning to reduce wind loading, or removing entirely.

Work is carried out by trained, fully equipped teams using appropriate climbing, rigging and access methods, with all cuts made to recognised practice so trees recover properly.

  • Tree reductions, pruning and shaping
  • Crown lifting, crown thinning and crown shaping
  • Deadwood removal
  • Tree felling and dismantling
  • Stump grinding
  • Emergency storm damage work
  • Branch removal and on-site chipping

Where a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or sits within a Conservation Area, we will identify this at the survey stage and advise on the consents required before any work begins.

Land clearance and vegetation management services

Our land clearance and vegetation management services return a site to a usable, accessible state and keep it that way, whether that means cutting back seasonal overgrowth, clearing a plot ahead of development or maintaining vegetation on an ongoing basis. We handle sites from small commercial yards through to large estates and multi-acre clearances, using mechanical plant where scale demands it and hand clearance where access is restricted.

  • Full site and plot clearance
  • Overgrowth and scrub clearance
  • Bush and shrub removal
  • Hedge cutting and maintenance
  • Ongoing vegetation management
  • Green waste removal and disposal

All arisings are removed and disposed of responsibly, with waste transfer documentation provided on request. Clearance work is scheduled with nesting bird season in mind, and we will flag any wildlife or invasive species considerations before starting.

How does our tree surgery and land clearance service work?

Every job follows three steps: a site survey, planned works carried out by our own teams and a full clear-up with waste removal.

Step 1: Site survey

We assess the trees and site, check for Tree Preservation Orders, Conservation Areas, nesting birds and invasive species, then provide a clear written quote with no obligation.

Step 2: Tree and clearance works

Our trained, in-house teams carry out the agreed work using the right climbing, rigging or mechanical methods for the site, with all cuts made to recognised practice.

Step 3: Clear-up and waste removal

We remove all arisings and green waste, leave the site clean and usable, and provide waste transfer documentation on request.
