Services
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction involves carefully pruning a tree's canopy to maintain shape, reduce height, and prolong its lifespan. This service helps manage large trees without full removal, preserves veteran trees, and mitigates risks from overgrowth. We follow BS3998 standards to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning removes selected branches to improve light penetration and air circulation within the tree. We remove up to 20% of secondary growth, focusing on deadwood and crossing branches, to enhance tree health while maintaining its natural form in accordance with British standards.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding eliminates tree stumps using specialist machinery, restoring usable land after tree removal. We ensure thorough removal of root systems to prevent regrowth, leaving the area ready for landscaping or development projects across Bolton and the North West.
Storm Damage Repair
We provide rapid response to storm-damaged trees, addressing hazards like broken branches or unstable trunks. Our team secures the site, performs controlled removals, and offers 24/7 emergency services to protect properties and ensure safety during adverse weather events.
Tree Planting
Our tree planting service includes site assessment, species selection, and professional installation to enhance landscapes. We prioritise suitable tree varieties for local conditions, ensuring long-term growth and environmental benefits while adhering to arboricultural best practices.

Stump Grinder Guard
We have been using the TreeHog fold out Grinding Guard for about six months now after we were asked to trial it for Arbortech. We have used different guards in the past and this one completely outperforms them all. It is robust, easy to pack away into a compact bag, and does the job perfectly. It comes with metal pegs to keep it in situ on windy days but seldom needed. I can not recommend this product highly enough to anyone engaged in stump grinding services. A great investment.
