Tree Surgeon in Durham

We carry out full tree surgery and removal, including crown reduction, crown lifting, crown thinning, and deadwooding, all to BS 3998. Stump grinding is available as part of a removal or as a standalone visit, and where a tree has a weak fork or a developing split, we can assess it for cabling or bracing rather than defaulting to removal.

Durham has a significant number of trees within conservation areas and covered by Tree Preservation Orders, particularly around the historic city centre and the World Heritage Site around the Cathedral and Castle. If you're unsure whether a tree on your property is protected, it's worth checking with Durham County Council before any work goes ahead, we can also advise as part of a tree health survey and TPO advice visit.

Beyond tree work, we cover hedge cutting and trimming, bush pruning, lawn cutting, and jet washing for driveways, patios, and paths, useful for the area's older stone properties in particular, where a proper clean makes a real difference. We also handle garden clearance, ivy removal, and general grounds maintenance for both homes and businesses.

Storm damage, fallen trees, and blocked access get priority treatment, we offer same-day and out-of-hours emergency callouts across Durham where the situation calls for it.

Durham falls under Durham County Council for planning and tree preservation matters, including any work affecting trees within the city's conservation areas. If your development or building project near trees needs supporting documentation, we also produce BS5837 arboricultural reports for planning applications in the area.

We're a team-based operation, not one person with a ladder and a chainsaw, which means the right equipment and enough hands to do a job safely and in good time, whatever the size. Every job is quoted in writing before we start, with no hidden costs, and the site is left clean and tidy once we're done.
