Why Waiting to Act on Problem Trees Costs You More Than You Think

Tree Pruning, Reductions & Removal

Most people don’t think about their trees until something goes wrong. A branch crashes down during a storm. Roots crack a garden wall. A neighbour complains about blocked light.

By the time you're Googling "tree felling near me," it's already an emergency, and your options are limited, expensive, and sometimes even illegal.

Be Proactive For A Better Way To Manage Your Trees

We help homeowners manage trees proactively, not reactively. Whether it’s a full removal or a precise crown reduction, we guide you through what’s right for your tree, and what’s right for your property, safety, and long-term landscape needs.

We’ve built our reputation across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Oxfordshire on one simple principle: we never just “cut trees.” We protect what matters.

Know The Differences

What Is Tree Felling?

Tree felling means removing a tree completely, usually because it’s:

Dangerous to people or property
Diseased beyond recovery (think ash dieback)
Causing structural damage (e.g. to foundations or drains)
Outgrowing its space

We specialise in both straight felling (where space allows) and sectional felling, using ropes and rigging to safely dismantle trees in tight spaces like gardens or urban plots.

And we handle everything: planning, permissions (especially for TPO or Conservation Areas), and site cleanup.

What Is Tree Reduction?

Tree reduction is the smarter, more sustainable option, when done right. It involves selectively removing branches to control the shape, height, or spread of a tree without harming its health.

We offer three specialist services:

Crown Reduction – Controls the size of the canopy to reduce risk and restore balance
Crown Lifting – Removes lower branches to improve access and light
Crown Thinning – Enhances airflow and light by removing select internal branches

A poor reduction places a huge amount of stress on the tree and invites disease. Done professionally, it extends their life, improves safety, and enhances property value. We are all familiar with curb appeal adding instant positivity to the front of your home, well maintained trees extend that visual cue across the garden.
