Hi all! 🌳
With a few new faces following the page, I thought it was time to (re)introduce myself, especially as my original post seems to have gone walkabouts… typical 😅
First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who’s shared posts, sent messages, and shown support. It genuinely means a lot and helps keep a local, independent business growing.
I’m Toby, owner of Bark and Branch Tree & Garden Services.
I’m a fully qualified tree surgeon with 11 years’ experience, alongside 13 years in gardening, and over the last couple of years I’ve also qualified as a tree surveyor.
In 2023, following the birth of my child, I decided to take the leap and start my own business — putting my experience, passion, and work ethic into something I could truly build and be proud of. Thanks to the amazing local community, the business has gone from strength to strength and kept us busy ever since.
These days I’m usually joined by Tom and Niall, and sometimes the lovely Hannah from H Stone Garden Care, making sure every job is carried out safely, professionally, and with attention to detail. I’m incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful and dedicated team by my side with the same ethics of attention to detail.
We offer a full range of services including:
🌳 All aspects of tree surgery – reductions, removals, crown lifting & thinning, formative pruning, dismantling, and sectional felling
🌬️ Storm damage & emergency call-outs
📋 Tree surveys & tree reports – including risk assessments, condition surveys, and advice for homeowners, landlords, and commercial sites
✂️ Hedge cutting & management – from regular maintenance to large reductions
🌿 Garden maintenance & clearance
🪜 Work at height & difficult access jobs
🪵 Stump management & site tidy-ups
We’re fully insured, safety-focused, and take real pride in doing things properly — whether it’s a small domestic job or a more technical piece of work.
Here’s a few photos from yesterday’s Ingrid antics. Ingrid vs Bark & Branch.
Bark & Branch wins. 🌳💪

Thanks again for the continued support and for backing local — it honestly makes a difference 💚
