The Service
Tree work is the one area of garden maintenance where cutting corners has real consequences — a misjudged reduction can kill a healthy tree, a dropped limb can wreck a conservatory roof, and an uninsured climber on your property is your liability, not theirs. Our tree services exist to take all of that off your plate.
We cover everything from light crown lifting and formative pruning through to large reductions, dismantles in confined gardens, hedge reductions over 4 metres, and full stump grinding. Whether it's a single overgrown Leylandii blocking your light or a storm-split silver birch over the kitchen, we handle the job from quote to clean-up.
It matters who you call. Tree work falls under specific legal duties of care (Occupiers' Liability Act, Highways Act for street-facing trees, plus TPO and Conservation Area checks). We carry the cover and do the paperwork — including the council enquiry — so you're never on the hook.
Why It Matters
Trees rarely 'just' fall. They give warning signs for months — and the cost of acting late is brutal compared to a £180 reduction now.
A single ash or sycamore limb through a tiled roof averages £6,000-£12,000 in repairs — and your insurer can refuse the claim if the tree was visibly neglected.
Honey fungus, ash dieback and phytophthora can move tree-to-tree across a boundary in a single season. Removing one infected tree early protects the whole row.
Mature trees within 10-15m of a property foundation on clay soil can cause subsidence cracks. Crown reduction reduces water uptake and stops the problem before underpinning is needed.
Felling or heavily pruning a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence with fines up to £20,000 per tree. We check before we cut — always.
Our Process
01
Send a photo or describe the tree — we'll tell you straight away if it's a job we cover and a ballpark figure.
02
Free site visit to inspect access, drop zones, neighbouring property and any TPO/Conservation Area status.
03
Fixed quote with a clear scope — what's being cut, how much, and how the wood and arisings will leave site.
04
Climbed or MEWP-accessed, rigged section by section into a controlled drop zone. Lawn and beds protected with boards.
05
All brash chipped and removed, larger wood cut to log length and stacked or taken away. You should barely know we were there.

In Detail
From single garden trees to multi-tree commercial sites, here's the full scope of work we carry out — with the methods and materials we use.
Reductions of 10-30% of the canopy to reduce wind sail, increase light and rebalance lopsided trees. Cuts made to live growth points so the tree heals cleanly — no topping, ever. Common candidates in Ayrshire gardens: sycamore, ash, beech, oak and Norway maple.
Removal of lower limbs to clear paths, driveways and lawns (typically to 2.4m over lawn, 5.2m over a road). Thinning removes selective inner branches to let light through without changing the tree's outline.
Where a tree can't be felled in one piece — tight gardens, conservatories, sheds, overhead wires — we climb and rig down section by section. Rigging gear rated to 5T, controlled lowering, no impact on lawn.
Grind to 200-300mm below ground level so you can re-turf, plant or pave straight over. We grind stumps from 100mm up to 1.2m diameter in a single visit.
Conifer (Leylandii, Thuja) and broadleaf hedge reductions over 4m, including laying-back of overgrown garden hedges. Note: Leylandii doesn't regenerate from brown wood — we'll be honest about how hard you can go.
Same-day response across Ayrshire for fallen, split or hung-up trees. We make safe first (drop zones, road closures liaised with council if needed) then complete the full removal and clean-down.
For commercial sites, schools, holiday parks and rental portfolios we provide RAMS (risk assessment & method statement), proof of insurance and chainsaw tickets, and dated post-works reports for your file.

Frequently Asked
A single medium garden tree (8-12m, accessible) is typically £350-£650 fully cleared. Large dismantles, restricted access or stump grinding adds to that — we always quote in writing after a site visit so there are no surprises.
