Services
Tree Felling
Professional tree felling for dangerous, diseased, or obstructive trees. Our NPTC-certified team ensures safe and legal removal, adhering to BS3998 standards. We handle all sizes, from small ornamental trees to large oaks, with minimal disruption to your property.
Pruning
Precision pruning to enhance tree health and aesthetics. We follow BS3998 guidelines for crown lifting, shaping, and deadwood removal. This improves structural integrity while maintaining natural growth patterns and light penetration for surrounding vegetation.
Bracing
Structural support installation for unstable or damaged trees. Using cables, rods, and webbing, we reinforce weak branches or trunks. This extends the tree's lifespan while maintaining safety for properties and pedestrians in Glossop and surrounding areas.
Planting
Expert tree and shrub planting services with species selection advice. We supply quality saplings suited to local soil conditions and provide professional planting to ensure optimal growth and establishment in residential or commercial landscapes.
Habitat Management
Pre-work assessments for protected species under the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981. Our team identifies bat roosts, bird nests, and mammal habitats to ensure compliance with conservation laws during tree surgery operations in the High Peak National Park.

Used Bankswood a couple of times, for ground clearance and tree removal, and can't recommend them too highly - quick, tidy and professional.

Brilliant. They did a faultless job and nothing was too much trouble for them. The garden was spotless when they left. Highly recommended. Will certainly use them again. A great team.
