Tree work, done properly.
What a tree surgeon actually does.
Most of the call-outs fall into three buckets — a canopy that needs reducing, branches that need care, and a tree worth keeping healthy. Here's what each looks like.
In the canopy 
Crown care 
The reason Tree surgery & garden maintenance.
Two sides of the same garden. Most of our regulars use us for both — the annual crown reduction in winter, then the hedge and lawn through the season.
