Professional and Knowledgeable
A lot of tree surgeons are not very knowledgeable about plant species and growing trees. To obtain chainsaw qualifications, it is only necessary to know the mechanical aspects of the work, and there are few people who combine that with an in depth knowledge of arboriculture. Our team is exclusively composed of people who do just that. We are also skilled at working in built up areas, assessing risk to people and property and mitigating that risk. We work to the industry standard of BS-3998 (2010) The British Standard for tree work so you know precisely what to expect: we will not massacre your trees, they will be treated with respect. We also have an office with dedicated staff so your enquiries willl be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Insured and No Nasty Suprises
Tree removal is high risk – with both staff, the public and property being in danger. We work at height, and with powerful moving machinery. It is important that you choose a professional tree surgeon, with experience and qualifications to tackle the work. This work can also involve obtaining council permission as removing or pruning trees in conservation zones without permission can result in hefty fines. We also offer this service.
We are skillful and meticulous, your trees are in safe hands with our team. And in the highly unlikely event of an accident (we have never claimed in over 15 years in the business), we are fully insured.
Care of the Environment
Tree management would be our first choice, preserving the life of the tree and local ecology, but trees in urban areas can require felling if they are poorly sited, diseased or damaged. We always recommend more appropriate planting after removal. Maintaining your trees is an important part of land ownership, and appropriate pruning and care can save money in the long run and provide you with a more healthy specimen that can be enjoyed, as well as bringing more light to your garden and property.
Qualified Arboriculturalists
As qualified tree surgeons, we are also skilled in hedge care and shrub pruning. Some hedges can be permanently damaged by improper pruning techniques or work done at the wrong time of year. We are all skilled arboriculturalists and have worked with all hedge types and species, we can advise you as to the best care plan.
