Our services

TREE MAINTENANCE

We offer professional tree maintenance services throughout Sutton, providing clear advice at the initial consultation to help determine the most appropriate care for your tree(s). Our arborists carry out a range of pruning techniques, including crown thinning, crown raising, crown reduction and pollarding, to support healthy growth, structure and long-term stability.

TREE REMOVAL, FELLING AND DISMANTLING

Where tree removal is required in Sutton, our team plans and carries out the work carefully and methodically. We are experienced in managing removals in a variety of settings, including residential streets, gardens and commercial sites, ensuring the site is cleared and tree parts disposed of responsibly.

STUMP REMOVAL

Tree stumps can create obstacles within a garden and limit how the space can be used. Our stump removal service in Sutton uses specialist grinding equipment to remove stumps efficiently, while keeping disruption to surrounding ground and planting to a minimum.

Once the stump has been removed, the area is left level and tidy, making it suitable for replanting, landscaping or general garden use.

HEDGE CUTTING AND REMOVAL

We provide professional hedge cutting and removal services across Sutton, helping to manage hedges of all sizes in both domestic and commercial settings. Our team works with a wide range of hedge species, offering regular maintenance or one-off reductions where growth has become excessive or difficult to control.

All hedge work is planned carefully and carried out efficiently, leaving your garden or grounds tidy, well presented and easy to maintain once the work is complete.
