From photos to a written quote
Send photos or describe the tree
Tell us the location, issue, urgency and anything near the tree such as fences, sheds, drives or overhead lines.
We check access and constraints
Access, boundaries, parking, nearby property, TPOs and conservation areas are considered before quoting.
Site visit or photo estimate
Simple work may be estimated from photos; complex or higher-risk jobs usually need a site survey.
Written quote and safe works plan
You receive the scope, method notes, tidy-up plan and any permissions needed before work proceeds.
Work day and tidy-up
Property is protected, work is completed safely, and arisings are chipped, stacked or removed as agreed.

Typical project proof
Example work types, without inflated claims
Surrey garden
Crown lift for driveway clearance
Lower branches lifted to improve vehicle access while keeping screening and tree shape.
Sussex home
Sectional dismantle near a roofline
Awkward overhanging tree planned in sections with garden and roof protection agreed before work.
Kent border
Stump grind for replanting
Old stump reduced below ground level so the bed could be replanted safely.
South East village property
Storm limb made safe
Split limb assessed, cordoned and removed with follow-up pruning advice.
Estate edge
Woodland path clearance
Overhanging growth managed around a path while retaining habitat value and stacked timber where useful.
Local conditions
Tree work shaped by South East gardens, clay soils and protected trees
Mature oaks, boundary trees, narrow access, clay soils, high winds and conservation areas all affect how tree work should be planned. The first step is understanding the tree, the site and any permissions before pruning or removal begins.
Storm branch or unsafe tree
Storm damage or an unsafe tree?
If a branch has split, a tree has shifted or a limb is resting on a roof, fence or road edge, do not try to cut it yourself. Call for make-safe advice and send photos if it is safe to do so.
If there is immediate danger to life, public highway obstruction or contact with power lines, use the appropriate emergency services or utility provider first.
