Taking a tree down is more than a cut at the base.
Most trees we remove are close to something that matters: a house, a garage, a boundary wall, a road or overhead lines. Where there is open ground and a clear drop zone, a tree can be felled in one piece. Where there is not, it is taken down from the top in manageable sections, each one cut and lowered under control.
Before any work starts we look at the tree, what is around it and how we will get in and out, then explain what we propose and what it will cost. On the day, the work area is kept clear, and once the tree is down the timber and brash are dealt with exactly as agreed.
What we do
Tree removal work we undertake
From a single garden tree to several on a site, every removal is planned around the tree and what is next to it.
Unwanted trees
Trees that have outgrown the space, block light or stand where you want to build, extend or landscape.
Dead & dying trees
Dead timber becomes brittle and unpredictable. We take these trees down before they shed limbs or fall.
Dangerous & damaged trees
Split, leaning or storm-damaged trees are made safe first, then removed in a controlled way.
Overgrown trees
Trees that have got too big for a garden or boundary, removed in sections where space is tight.
Sectional dismantling
Where a tree cannot be felled whole, it is climbed and taken down piece by piece beside buildings and wires.
Residential & commercial
Gardens, driveways and boundaries at home, as well as business premises and sites.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to remove a tree?
It depends on the tree and where it is. Some trees are protected, for example by a Tree Preservation Order, a planning condition or because the property is in an Architectural Conservation Area, and some felling requires a licence. If you are unsure, check with your county council before work is booked. We are happy to talk through what we see on site, but we cannot give legal or planning advice.
Can you remove a tree that is very close to my house?
Yes. Where there is no room to fell a tree in one piece, it is dismantled from the top in sections, with each piece cut and lowered under control so it does not land on the house, roof or boundary.
What happens to the timber and branches?
That is agreed before we start. Branches can be chipped on site, the timber cut into logs and stacked for you, or everything taken away. The quotation says which.
Will you remove the stump as well?
We can. Stump grinding or stump removal can be quoted at the same time as the tree, or the stump can be left cut low if you prefer. See our stump grinding page for more.
How much does tree removal cost?
Every tree is different: its size, condition, what is around it and the access all affect the work involved. Quotations are free, so the simplest way to find out is to send us a few photos or ask us to come and look.
Do you remove trees in my area?
