FAQs
Do you do large tree removals?

No. This page is for small tree work only. Large or specialist tree work may require an arborist.

Can you work on protected trees?

Protected trees may require permission depending on the work. Please tell us if the tree may be protected before booking.

Can this be combined with hedge cutting or maintenance?

Often yes, depending on the job and time required.

Do you remove all cuttings?

Waste handling depends on the quote and the amount of material generated.

How do I know if I need an arborist?

If the tree is large, unsafe, near utilities, or needs major reduction/felling, a specialist arborist is usually required.
