Pruning, crown reduction, felling, stump removal and storm work.

Tree Surgery in Cambridge

Trees need occasional, skilled attention to stay healthy and safe, whether that is reducing a crown that has grown too large, removing dead and dangerous limbs, or felling a tree that has outgrown its place. This is work to be done carefully and with the right equipment, not from a ladder with a hand saw.

We carry out tree work across Cambridge and the surrounding countryside, from pruning and crown reduction to felling, stump removal and clearing storm damage. All arisings are chipped or removed, and we will advise you where a tree may be protected and need consent before work begins.

What our tree surgery service includes

Every property and every job is a little different, but a typical tree surgery booking with us covers work such as:

  • Pruning and shaping
  • Crown reduction and thinning
  • Felling and sectional dismantling
  • Deadwood and dangerous-limb removal
  • Stump grinding and removal
  • Hedge reduction and reshaping
  • Storm-damage clearance
  • Removal and chipping of all waste

Not sure whether your particular job fits? Just ask. If it is something we cannot help with ourselves, we will usually be able to point you towards someone trustworthy who can.

How it works

We assess the tree and any constraints, advise on consents, then carry out the work safely.

Tree Surgery across Cambridge and beyond

We are based in Cambridge and cover every town and village within roughly 35 miles, so wherever you are in the region you have a local handyman within easy reach for tree surgery. That includes Buntingford, Bishop's Stortford, Baldock, Letchworth, Hitchin, Biggleswade and many more besides — you can see the full list of areas we cover or jump straight to your nearest town.

Because we work across the whole area week in and week out, we understand the local housing — from period cottages and Victorian terraces to new-build estates and converted barns — and we tailor the work to suit the property rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tree Surgery: your questions answered

Do I need permission to work on a tree?

Some trees are protected or sit in conservation areas and need consent. We will check and advise before any work starts.

Do you remove the waste?

Yes. Branches and arisings are chipped or removed and the site is left clear and tidy.

Can you grind out the stump?

We grind and remove stumps so the ground can be reused for lawn, planting or paving.
