Our Services

We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive range of tree surgery services, tailored to meet the individual needs of each client and their trees.

Tree Surgery

Trees, from the grandest specimens in parks and estates to the smallest fruit trees in gardens, are an integral part of our lives. We approach every tree requiring work with the utmost care and attention. Our practical and considered approach to tree surgery is built on years of experience, meticulous observation, and a commitment to ongoing learning.

We offer a full spectrum of tree surgery services, including:

• Felling: The safe and professional removal of trees, taking into account the surrounding environment and potential hazards.
• Pruning: Shaping and maintaining trees for aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and health, ensuring they thrive for years to come.
• Chipping: Transforming tree debris into valuable woodchip, which can be used for mulching, soil amendment, or composting.

• Planting: Sourcing and planting new trees of all sizes, from mature specimens to saplings, helping you establish a healthy and vibrant landscape.

• Logging: The careful harvesting of timber, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment and producing high-quality logs for various uses.

• Splitting: Efficiently splitting logs into manageable sizes for easier burning in fireplaces or wood-burning stoves.
• Milling: Transforming felled trees into beautiful and unique timber products on-site. We use portable milling equipment to access even the most challenging locations, respecting the inherent value of every tree.

Hedges

Hedges are essential elements of both rural landscapes and home gardens, providing both functional boundaries and ecological benefits. We appreciate the artistry and skill involved in maintaining healthy and attractive hedges. We offer a range of services to ensure your hedges remain a source of beauty and ecological value.

These services include:
