If you think that a tree poses a risk to people or property, then you should contact a qualified arboricultural consultant or tree surgeon to assess that risk.
If the tree is on your land, you are responsible for ensuring that the tree is safe and if it causes damage to a person or property then you may be liable.If the tree is on someone else’s land, you should contact the owner of that land to make them aware of the potential risk.
If you are unsure who owns the land that the tree is on, you should contact the local council for where the tree is located.

What environmental standards do you work to?
We care deeply about the environment and ecology. As a company, we operate sustainable practices, and we endeavour to be carbon neutral in all our activities.
We treat each job individually, carefully assessing both the tree itself and its ecological impact on its surrounding area. As a company working within nature, we always seek to offer the most environmentally and ecologically sensitive solutions for every tree.
What happens to site waste?
For all our tree services, the team working on your trees will remove all waste from your property when the job is completed unless you would like to keep the wood chips or logs for your own use.
Nothing is wasted, all branches from trees are either turned into logs or put through our chipping machine to create reusable wood chips. Tree stumps can also be removed and turned into wood chips using our stump grinder. All spare/unused chip is reused by a local farmer or sent to biomass to be recycled.
