Environmental Policy

Our experienced team of tree specialists are happiest when in and around nature. We truly love what we do, and believe we have the best job in the world. Which is exactly why, it’s our duty as tree surgeons to safeguard the very environment we love, by nurturing and respecting the life cycles of the trees we work with.

  • ✅ 100% Of Our Waste Is Recycled

    The woodchip we produce is sent to power stations to be converted into electricity for the grid. It’s also used for local allotments and forest schools where children learn about the natural environment. 🍃 All our wood is either sold as firewood for winter warmth or converted into high grade whole tree woodchip which is used for biomass. Our waste really does give back!

  • ✅ We Follow the British Standard for Tree Work

    We only perform tree maintenance that considers the soil, growing environment and the needs of other trees in the vicinity. If you have trees that need pruning make sure to only use a tree surgeon who works to BS3998, which ensures the correct environmental management of trees.

  • ✅ We Plant a Tree for Every Review

    We’ve planted 160+ trees so far in our partnership with ReviewForest, a trusted reforestation project that plants trees to help keep our planet healthy and habitable for us and our future generations. Want to learn more about our involvement? Click here.
