It's a good time to give your trees a once-over. Look for obvious deadwood, branches that overhang buildings, or anything that's been concerning you. Winter weather - wind and rain - tends to find the weak spots in trees. If something needs doing, it's easier to sort it now than wait for a problem to develop in worse conditions. We're doing checks now if you'd like a professional to take look. No pressure, just honest advice. Get in touch now before it's an emergency.

Book now to secure your winter slot. December, January, and February are ideal for major tree surgery. Deciduous trees are dormant, visibility is excellent, and you can complete significant works before next year's nesting season. Early booking secures your preferred dates and avoids the pre-nesting rush. We're scheduling reductions, removals, pollarding, and large pruning projects now. Contact us to plan your winter tree works and start the new year with trees properly cared for.

Pollarding might look brutal, but when done correctly on suitable species, it's a sustainable way to manage tree size and extend lifespan. Willows, limes, and planes respond well to pollarding, producing vigorous regrowth from cut points. The key is maintaining the cycle – pollarded trees need re-cutting every few years or the regrowth becomes heavy and dangerous. If you've inherited a pollarded tree, we can assess its condition and continue the cycle properly. It's a historic management technique still very relevant today, especially in urban areas where space is limited.

What a month it's been. We've reduced oaks, removed dying ash trees, planted tree, and made dozens of properties safer and tidier. Every job has its own challenges, but that's what keeps the work interesting. We've worked in tight gardens, near buildings, over conservatories – always safely, always professionally. Thanks to everyone who's trusted us with their trees this autumn. Your patience, your tea, and your kind words mean more than you know. If you need tree work and haven't booked yet, we've got limited November slots. Get in touch.

Planning an extension, new driveway, or building work near trees? Trees and construction don't mix well unless properly managed. Heavy machinery compacts soil and damages roots, scaffolding can injure bark, and even material storage under canopies can suffocate roots. BS5837 sets out how to protect trees during building work, and it's worth getting advice early in the planning process. We can assess which trees need protection, recommend fencing and ground protection, and liaise with builders to keep trees safe. A bit of planning saves a lot of heartache later.

How do you know if a tree is dangerous? Warning signs include dead branches in the crown, visible cracks or splits in the trunk, fungal brackets growing from the base or stem, a sudden lean, or exposed roots after storms or building work. Context matters too – a tree with minor defects away from buildings is different from one overhanging a house or road. If something doesn't look right, get it checked. We'll inspect thoroughly, explain what we find, and recommend the safest course of action. Don't ignore your instincts – it's always worth a professional opinion.

When we remove a tree, you decide what happens to the wood. We can take everything away and recycle it responsibly - quality sawlog gets milled, logs become firewood, and branches are chipped for mulch. Or you can keep what you want: timber for projects, logs for your wood burner, woodchip for garden mulch, or create wildlife habitat piles. We're completely flexible. Whether you want it all gone or want to make use of it, we'll work with your preference. Contact us to discuss tree removal options.

Autumn means stronger winds and heavier rain, which can expose weaknesses in trees. If you've got a tree that's been worrying you, now's the time to get it checked before the weather turns rough. Look for dead branches, cracks in major limbs, leaning trunks, or fungal growth at the base. Small issues can become big problems quickly in a storm. We can assess, advise, and carry out any necessary work to make things safer. Prevention is always cheaper and less stressful than emergency call-outs. Get in touch if you'd like us to take a look.

Urgent update: autumn slots filling much faster than expected. We've already got limited availability left in October, and November is going the same way. If you need tree work done this autumn, you need to book your free site visit now. We'll come out, assess what needs doing, give you a quote, and secure one of the remaining slots. Wait until September and we'll likely be fully booked - meaning you're stuck waiting. This isn't a sales pitch, it's a genuine heads-up. We're turning away late bookers every year. Don't be one of them. Call or message us now for a free no-obligation quote.
