Tree Surgery for Bath Properties
Tree surgery is our core service, and it's what we're called out for most across Bath — from a single overgrown garden tree through to more involved crown work on mature specimens.
Every job starts with a proper look at the tree, its species, condition and surroundings, so the work we recommend is right for the tree rather than a one-size-fits-all cut.
Bath has a lot of mature trees in gardens, many within conservation areas or covered by Tree Preservation Orders, so we're used to checking what's required before any work goes ahead.
Whether it's a light prune to let more light into a garden, or a full crown reduction on a tree that's outgrown its space, we're happy to talk through the options.

Crown Reduction
Reducing the overall size of a tree's crown while keeping a natural shape.

It can be high-risk work, particularly climbing and using chainsaws at height, which is why proper equipment, technique and experience matter — we take the necessary precautions on every job.
