PROFESSIONAL TREE CARE

The right work for every tree and site.

Effective tree surgery starts with a careful assessment of the tree, its condition and its surroundings. We recommend appropriate work based on what the tree requires, taking account of nearby buildings, access, public areas and the intended outcome.

From routine pruning to complex removals, each job is assessed and planned around the tree, the site and the result you need.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

Excellent service. Four large ash trees suffering from die-back removed in a mature and confined garden. Messy job with huge amount of wood and branches taken away, but John and his team took time and care to protect plants and buildings from any damage. Very professional service. Pleasure to deal with manager Rob. Highly recommended.

TREE SURGERY FAQs

Common questions about tree surgery.

Helpful answers about quotations, permissions and what to expect when arranging tree work with ATS.

Do I need permission before tree work begins?

Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or are within a conservation area. We can advise what may need checking with the local authority before work is arranged.

How much does tree surgery cost?

The cost depends on the type and scale of work, access, equipment and site conditions. A site visit may be required before we provide a clear written quotation.

Will you remove the branches and timber?

Yes. Unless agreed otherwise, the resulting branches, timber and other arisings are removed and the working area is left tidy.

Are you insured and professionally accredited?

Yes. ATS is fully insured and holds recognised industry accreditations, including ARB Approved Contractor, BSI certification and SafeContractor approval.
