What we do

Our tree services

Tree removal

Dead, damaged or unsuitable trees may need removal when retaining them cannot resolve the problem. We handle trees and palms, including confined-access jobs where branches and trunk sections must be lowered or lifted out. The tree’s condition and surrounding structures determine the approach.

  • Trees close to homes and pools
  • Palm and storm-damaged tree removal

Tree pruning & trimming

Pruning starts with a purpose: removing deadwood, lifting selected lower branches, creating clearance or managing particular growth. We also prune fruit trees. The species, structure, condition and intended result guide which branches to retain and the timing of the work.

  • Roof and driveway clearance
  • Canopy management and fruit-tree pruning

Tree lopping & canopy reduction

“Lopping” is often used to mean cutting a tree back, but the proposed cuts matter. Indiscriminate topping can harm a tree. Suitable reduction works back to appropriate growth points; where retaining the tree cannot resolve the problem, removal may be an alternative.

  • Overextended branches and canopy spread
  • Options for retaining an overgrown tree

Tall hedge trimming

Our hedge work focuses on tall hedges and established screening trees, including reducing height, narrowing sides and reshaping overgrown screens. How far a hedge can be cut back depends on its species, condition and internal growth. Access matters where screens run beside pools or tight boundaries.

  • Tall privacy screens
  • Overgrown boundary hedges

Stump grinding

Grinding suits old stumps and stumps left after tree removal, including jobs where another contractor removed the tree. A cutting wheel breaks down the stump and accessible surface roots. It is not complete root excavation, and the achievable depth and finish must suit access, buried services and the intended next use.

  • Old stumps in lawns and garden beds
  • Single or multiple stumps after removal
