Services
Tree Surgeons
Our certified arborists provide comprehensive tree care from single garden trees to large-scale commercial contracts. We specialise in safe felling, dismantling, and pruning using industry-leading equipment and techniques. All work complies with British Standards BS 3998:2010 and is backed by 20m public liability insurance.
Forestry Services
We deliver sustainable forestry solutions including site clearance, habitat restoration, and ancient woodland preservation. Our services cover planting, thinning, and environmental management for municipal and private clients. We use specialist machinery to minimise ecological impact while maintaining commercial efficiency.
Air Spade
This high-pressure air tool enables non-invasive root system analysis and soil decompaction. We use it for tree stability assessments, decay detection, and trench excavation near sensitive root zones. The method preserves root integrity while providing accurate subsurface data.
Specialist Services
Our in-house equipment fleet handles complex tasks like crane-assisted tree removal and stump grinding. We offer emergency response for storm-damaged trees and provide recycled wood products. Services include site clearance, biomass production, and horse arena surfacing materials.
Firewood Sales
We supply sustainably sourced firewood dried to below 15% moisture content for efficient burning. Available in netted bags or bulk loads, our product suits domestic heating and commercial biomass systems. All timber originates from managed tree operations and maintenance programs.

Report
Arranged for B&B to come out and give me a quote for some tree crowning. Despite the fact that they are local to me, they failed to turn up on two occasions to do this. On the first occasion they even contacted me to apologise for not turning up, and to reschedule for later on that day. Guess what? They never turned up the second time, nor did I hear back from them! I can only assume they have more work on than they can handle, or that their administration is not up to scratch. I subsequently found another contractor who did the job for me.
