Tree surgery and vegetation management across the TR postcodes
Garden trees, farm shelter belts, woodland and storm damage, from a single reduction to a crane assisted removal. Retaining a tree is always the first aim; when it cannot be, we say so and do the removal properly.
01Tree removal
Trees sometimes have to come out: a species that has outgrown its spot, a trunk hollowed by fungus, or a winter storm that has exposed a weakness. We always look at managing a tree's size first, and when removal is the right answer we do it safely, cleanly and with the timber and brash dealt with.

02Tree pruning and reductions
Keeping a tree is nearly always our first aim if it is in a suitable position, and pruning is how that is done. From a light reduction that still looks natural to the hard pollard a tree needs to stay where it is, we choose the method that suits the species, the setting and the years ahead.

03Crane assisted tree removal
We started using cranes and HGVs in 2022 after finding that ordinary tree surgery vehicles were not up to removing large trees. If we can get a crane to a removal we are normally able to cut the time on site by around three quarters, and the heavy sections are lifted clear rather than lowered through the garden.

04Stump grinding and removal
We remove stumps in two ways: a stump grinder where access is tight or the stump is small, and the digger with the crane and lorry where the stump is large and can come out whole. Which one suits your stump depends on its size, where it is and what you want to do with the ground afterwards.

05Emergency tree work
The need for emergency work can come at any time. A large beech can drop a limb on a still summer's day, and a winter storm can bring a tree down on a house in the middle of the night. If you need help, get in touch and we will tell you how quickly we can be there.

06Free tree health check
We offer a free, no obligation tree health check anywhere in the TR postcode. We do it because assessing a tree's health is a crucial part of keeping it for the future. A light prune or removing dead wood can be the difference between a tree living on safely and coming down in the next storm.

07Vegetation management
Vegetation management runs from removing ivy from trees and structures to hedge trimming and field clearance with brushcutters. We aim to do this kind of work in the dormant winter months, when small animals are less active in the vegetation and we can keep an eye on their movements as we go.

08Woodland management
Woodland management is for clients with a few acres or more of woodland who want to look after its contents and its future health or productivity. The work most often involves thinning, planting and removing fallen trees, and our lorry, digger and cranes mean the timber actually leaves the wood rather than lying in it.

Tree planting
Tree planting is a vital part of keeping the country's tree stock healthy, and worth considering if you have space that is ecologically lacking. If you remove a tree, replanting with a species more appropriate for the setting is something we strongly recommend, and something we can do as part of the same job.

Ecological habitat creation
Habitat creation is a good way of using the timber and brash from a felled tree. Instead of removing all of the waste from a site we can build an ecological habitat from it, which often reduces the total cost of the work because there is less haulage and labour. We also carry out habitat pruning of dead trees, install bird and bat boxes, and eco pile organic material.

Not sure what the tree needs?
Most people do not know whether a tree needs a reduction, a pollard or removing, and they should not have to. Describe it in plain words, or book the free tree health check, and we will tell you what we would do and why, then quote for it.
