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 ## Why Ignoring a Problem Tree Costs You More Trees rarely 'just' fall. They give warning signs for months — and the cost of acting late is brutal compared to a £180 reduction now. ### Storm damage to property 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. ### Tree disease spreads fast 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. ### Subsidence risk 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. ### TPO fines if you cut wrong 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 ## How We Deliver Tree Services in Ayrshire - 01 ### Phone or Photo Triage 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 ### On-Site Inspection Free site visit to inspect access, drop zones, neighbouring property and any TPO/Conservation Area status. - 03 ### Written Quote & Method Fixed quote with a clear scope — what's being cut, how much, and how the wood and arisings will leave site. - 04 ### Safe Execution Climbed or MEWP-accessed, rigged section by section into a controlled drop zone. Lawn and beds protected with boards. - 05 ### Full Site Clear-Down All brash chipped and removed, larger wood cut to log length and stacked or taken away. You should barely know we were there. Why Choose Us ## The Difference, In Plain English ### Insured to £5M Public liability cover that protects you, your property and your neighbours. ### TPO checks done for you We handle the council enquiry before lifting a saw. ### No lawn damage Boards, mats and careful rigging keep your garden intact. ### All waste removed Chipped, logged or hauled — your choice, no extra charge. ### 24-hour storm response Emergency calls answered the same day, 7 days a week. ### Tree health honesty If a tree can be saved with a reduction, we'll tell you. We don't sell unnecessary fells. In Detail ## Tree Services We Cover Across Ayrshire 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. ### Crown reduction & shaping 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. ### Crown lifting & thinning 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. ### Dismantles & sectional fells 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. ### Stump grinding 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. ### Hedge reductions & laying 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. ### Storm damage & emergency call-outs 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. ### Residential vs commercial 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.
