Services
Tree Removals
Specialist removal of hazardous or mature trees using advanced rigging techniques and safety equipment. Our NPTC-certified arborists conduct thorough risk assessments before dismantling trees near buildings or obstacles. Each project includes site clearance and waste removal, with options for log retention or stump grinding. We comply with BS3998 standards and local authority requirements for protected species or conservation areas.
Tree Reductions
Precision pruning to reduce tree height or spread while maintaining structural integrity. This service mitigates risks from overhanging branches near properties or power lines. Our arborists use climbing techniques and specialist tools to reshape canopies, promoting healthy regrowth and light penetration. Works include post-job garden tidying and debris removal as standard.
Hedge Management
Comprehensive hedge maintenance including formative pruning, rejuvenation cuts, and formal shaping. We handle both domestic hedgerows and commercial boundary hedges using petrol and electric equipment to minimise noise pollution. Services extend to overgrown hedge restoration and invasive species control, with waste disposal included in all quotations.
Veteran Tree Care
Specialist maintenance for mature or historically significant trees requiring conservation-focused interventions. Our arborists assess structural weaknesses, decay patterns, and ecological value to create tailored management plans. Services include crown thinning, cable bracing, and habitat preservation while balancing safety requirements and tree longevity.
Tree Surveys
Detailed tree condition assessments following BS5837 standards, including risk evaluations and growth projections. We provide TPO application support, pre-development surveys, and emergency storm damage inspections. Reports feature photographic evidence, recommended works, and compliance guidance for local authority submissions or insurance purposes.
