Successful Tree Surgery Business - Doing Right by Your Trees

Our professional Edinburgh tree surgeons work diligently and adhere to rigorous standards to ensure a superior experience whenever you decide to work with us. We will always aim for our team to be reliable and trustworthy, on time, professional, and efficient in everything we do.

You can call us if you are looking for a professional and experienced tree surgery business in Edinburgh to advise and care for sick or damaged trees or a tree surgeon or an arborist to climb high into a tree to thin or prune a canopy.

Our warehouse is fully stocked with top-notch tree-cutting tools and machinery. We can perform tree branch removal or tree limb removal in the safest, quickest way that ensures the health of your trees. If you are still working out what needs to be done, you can always contact us and we will be happy to provide a free survey and quotation where we discuss the current state of your trees and what work is required.

NPTC Certified and Members of Arboriculture Society

Our tree surgeons are certified by the National Proficiency Testing Council (NPTC) and key staff are members of the Arboriculture Society. This means they are fully qualified in all arboriculture and tree surgery work required for your home or business.  We always put safety first and ensure that any work we carry out is completed safely without damaging any nearby property.

Fully Insured to Carry Out Tree Care Operations

We have full public liability insurance coverage and professional indemnity and employee liability that covers us for all tree care operations. This lets us provide you with peace of mind while we take on any tree felling, pruning, stump grinding, or other arboriculture services you may require.

Strict Adherence to Safety Laws

Our experienced arborists adhere to safety laws at all times. We will always ensure that our work is carried out safely, with consideration given to all safety aspects and the environment in which we are working.

We would never jeopardize your trees in any way and will always use the right tool for the job to ensure it’s done correctly.

Helping with Tree Preservation Orders

A tree preservation order (TPO) is placed on trees by local authorities to protect trees from being removed or damaged, often in conservation areas of cities. To be able to carry out required pruning works on such a tree or to be able to remove it if it has become dangerous requires a tree survey report from a qualified tree surgeon. We can help you with these and advise on what work is required and possible.

Free Quote and Transparent Pricing

Our quotations are among the most competitive in Edinburgh depending on the amount of work that needs to be done and the size of the team and machinery required. We offer a free, no-obligation quote service where we discuss the work and give you the cost before any work is carried out.

Where possible we will break quotes down to parts of the work and time required so that you can understand the work and its costs in a transparent way.

FAQs

At the very least, workers on the ground generally have a chainsaw qualification. Still, they will usually only assist the tree surgeon or arborist when working at height and to maintain the work area clean and safe.

A tree surgeon will have some expertise in trees and tree health, as well as the best ways to prune or fall a tree safely and with minimal damage to the tree. As the name implies, a climbing tree surgeon will also have qualifications for working at heights, frequently climbing into the tree’s canopy.

An arborist, in addition to possessing any or all of the qualifications of a tree surgeon, will have studied arboriculture and will have a thorough understanding of how to effectively care for a tree’s health during its lengthy career.

On a job, one or two “climbing tree surgeons or arborists” may work alongside a groundsman to ensure that cut branches are removed and either chipped or thrown on a truck or van. The groundsman will also keep the area under the tree surgeons safe and clear of people.

A tree surgeon may occasionally work from a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP), a “cherry picker.”

Worry no more if you are wondering how much tree care services will cost you! We offer competitive prices all year while maintaining quality throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. It is always worth getting multiple quotes from tree care providers, but we know that compared to other professionals, we are competitively priced.

Tree surgery services start from on average £150-£350 for small trees (less than 25 ft), £200-£750 for medium-sized trees (25 to 50 ft), £650-£1200 for large trees (50 to 75 ft) and £1000-£2500 for extra large trees (over 75 ft). This price includes high-quality service delivered by our experienced arborists that are available to all types of clients. The day rate for a worker starts from about £300 and jobs may require 2 to 3 people depending on the size as well as specialized machinery as required.

After the quote and estimation, this may be the most crucial question you should ask your tree surgeon. Nobody wants their garden or backyard to be a work site for an extended period. Instead of seeing workmen wandering around your property with heavy instruments for an indefinite period, ask your tree surgeon about the duration of the work. All jobs are different but we will aim to be in and out as quickly as possible.

Customer Reviews

What else should I know before hiring a tree surgeon?

To make sure you keep yourself protected and get the best service from any tree surgery professional you hire there are some basic important questions you should have covered from the beginning.

Mishaps and accidents can happen at any time and to anyone. It would be best if you were prepared against accidents, injuries, and damage to protect yourself and your neighbours by only employing experienced professionals. When selecting tree surgeons in Edinburgh, ensure they have property damage insurance and up-to-date personal and professional liability insurance. As well as the legal requirements for certification for training and competence, tree surgeons or arborists should also hold public liability insurance and specialist tree surgeon insurance.

One of the best ways to know how good your tree surgeons are is to ask for references and check for reviews. References can be easily found on the internet on different social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. There are also review platforms like Yelp and Angie’s List. But what’s better than Google checking out reviews and ratings quickly?

Please check out their past work. You can find them on their websites or Google Business Page profiles.

A verbal quote is generally sufficient for short one-day projects, and verbal contracts are still legally binding in Scotland. However, for larger projects requiring several days or extra workers or machines, it is generally best to obtain a thorough quote of work for the tree services and a written price so that you and the tree surgery contractor in Edinburgh are on the same page. You should know how the work will be carried out and what men and equipment will be employed before the job begins. You’ll want to know if heavy machinery will be required on-site, and you’ll probably want any damage to lawns or flower beds kept to a minimum and corrected afterwards if some damage is necessary.

Ensure that your tree surgeons adhere to standard practices for tree surgery and upkeep. All procedures and tools potentially harming the life and growth of the trees in your garden or backyard should be avoided. There will be no spike shoes for climbing the trees, no topping, and no stub cuts, flush cuts, or heading cuts.

Now the only thing left is to ensure our safety requirements. The tree surgeons should reassure you that all necessary safety procedures will be taken. The surrounding areas should be roped to prevent damage to persons, vehicles, or houses. Safe lowering of tree sections and sectional tree dismantling is also necessary. All crew members focus on the essentials, such as personal protective equipment. Hard hats, face visors, chainsaw safety trousers, and safety boots are all required.
