Common Reasons for Tree Removal
Removing a tree is sometimes the safest and most practical option. We can help if your tree is:
Dead, dying, or in poor health
Diseased and at risk of spreading to nearby trees
Storm-damaged, unstable, or structurally unsound
Growing too close to a building, driveway, or power line
Causing subsidence risk or root damage to foundations
Blocking essential light or overcrowding other planting

Do You Need Permission to Remove a Tree?
Some trees in England are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), or sit within a designated conservation area. If a tree is protected, you’ll usually need permission from your local council before any removal, pruning, or significant work can take place — even if the tree is on your own property.
As part of our free site visit, we’ll check whether a tree is likely to be protected and advise you on the next steps. If permission is required, we can guide you through what’s needed before any work begins, helping you avoid potential fines and ensuring the job is fully compliant.
If a tree is dead, dying, or dangerous, different rules may apply — we’ll always advise you clearly on where your tree stands.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you cannot find the information you need, our friendly team is always happy to help.
Q: Do I need permission to remove a tree?
It depends. If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or sits within a conservation area, you’ll usually need permission from your local council. We check this during our free site visit and can guide you through the process if needed.

Absolutely. We have the experience and equipment required to safely remove trees that are diseased, storm-damaged, unstable, or posing a risk to people and property. Every removal is carefully planned to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
