Qualified, insured local tree surgeons for every kind of tree work, from a light prune to a full removal. One trusted family team.
Just mention it when you request your free quote. Available on qualifying work.
A tree surgeon, also called an arborist, is trained to care for, prune, and safely remove trees. We keep trees healthy, safe, and the right size, and take them down when they have to go.
It is skilled work, often done high up with specialist kit, and it can be risky in the wrong hands. Our team is NPTC and Lantra qualified and fully insured, so the job is done safely and well.
We work across North Herts and Central Beds, on everything from a single garden tree to bigger jobs. Whatever your tree needs, we can help.
When to call us
Most people call us when a tree is getting too big, blocking light, or starting to look unsafe. It is also worth getting advice after bad weather, or when a tree is close to buildings, wires or boundaries.
If you are unsure whether a tree needs pruning, reducing, removing or simply checking over, our team can advise on the safest and most suitable option.

Tree surgery services
We cover the full range of tree work. Here is where to find the detail on each.
Need pollarding? We also offer pollarding, a way of controlling a tree's height and spread for strong, manageable new growth. Just ask if that is what you need.
Tree permissions
Sometimes, yes. Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Many older areas are conservation areas too, where you need the council's permission before any work.
A Tree Preservation Order can limit what work can be done. Working on a protected tree without permission can mean a fine, so it is worth checking before anything starts.
Many older areas are conservation areas, where the council may need to be notified before tree work. We know how this works locally and can help with the application before we start.
Not sure if your tree is protected? We can check and give you honest advice before any work starts, so the job is done properly and by the book.
Clear tree surgery pricing
The cost depends on the job, so we give you a fixed price after a free site visit. The main factors are the size and number of trees, the type of work, and how easy the tree is to reach.
A small prune is a quick job. A large removal with tricky access is a much bigger one, so the two are priced very differently. Whether the waste needs taking away also affects the price. We go through it all with you so it is clear from the start.
We are upfront about money. The price we quote is the full price, with nothing added at the end. The site visit and quote are free, with no obligation.
