HB ForestryTree Surgery & Site Clearance

What we do

Tree felling

Taking a tree down in one piece where there’s room to drop it safely.

Sectional dismantling

Climbing and lowering a tree in sections when it’s close to buildings, fences or cables.

Crown reduction

Reducing height and spread so a tree sits better with its surroundings and lets in more light.

Crown thinning and lifting

Removing selected branches to let light through, or raising the canopy over paths, roads and drives.

Dead and dangerous trees

Deadwood removal, leaning or split trees, and making safe after storms.

Hedges and conifers

Reducing overgrown hedges and conifers, or removing them completely.

Stump grinding

Grinding stumps below ground so you can re-turf or replant.

Waste handled

Brash chipped on site and taken away. Logs left for you on request.

Council permissions

We check for TPOs and conservation areas and help with applications.

Tree surgery questions

Is my tree protected?

Some trees are covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit in a conservation area. Work on them needs council consent. We check this as part of quoting and can help with the application.

When is the best time to prune?

Most trees can be worked on year-round. Late autumn to winter suits many species because the tree is dormant and it’s outside nesting season. Some, like cherries and walnuts, are better pruned in summer. We’ll advise per tree.

Will you need to go into my neighbour’s garden?

Sometimes, for access or to lower branches safely. If so we’ll tell you in advance so you can let them know.

Do you remove the stump?

We can grind it out below ground level, or cut it flush if you’d prefer to leave it. Let us know when you ask for a quote.
