We were delighted with the work undertaken by Ben and Milo. Ben halved our Sycamore tree, hawthorn tree and they cut back the Hazel hedge. All cleared away. So professionally done. We will definitely recommend Ben as a tree surgeon.

Great service, contacted then about sorting out tree that has a TPO on it. They put in the planning application for just £60, and did the work to a very good and quick standard. Very impressed, thanks very much will be using again when my tree needs further work.

Cut down an apple tree for me. They were very professional, on time and efficient. They left my garden and home extremely tidy and even swept my front garden (that attention to detail and kind gesture left me with a smile)

Local Tree Removals

Tree removal in Hitchin – One of the best ways to have a tree removed is to have professional tree surgeons carry out a process known as tree felling. Tree felling is a service in which we completely and safely remove a whole tree, this involves cutting individual trees, leaving a stump, which can later be removed via stump grinding.

Once the tree has been felled, it will then safely be removed away from the property. Before any tree removal work is carried out we will assess the tree and its environment to establish the best method to fell the tree safely and to avoid damage to the surrounding areas. If you want a tree removing for safety purposes, no longer will you have to worry about bad weather conditions or the safety of your family.

What our customers say

The Importance of Professional Tree Felling Services

Tree removal, or tree felling, is a critical service tailored to safely dismantle trees from your property. Employing advanced techniques and precision, our specialists handle everything from towering oaks to delicate cherry trees. Each tree is assessed individually, ensuring the chosen removal method minimises any potential damage to your surroundings.

Handling tree removal without professional expertise can lead to significant risks, including property damage and personal injury. Our team of certified arborists is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to execute the job safely and efficiently, providing peace of mind alongside superior service.Whether you’re in need of a single tree felled or several, tackling this job alone could end up more costly than you anticipated. 

Following tree removal, stumps can be an unsightly and hazardous remnant. Our stump grinding service is the perfect solution, using state-of-the-art equipment to grind down stumps well below the earth’s surface. This process not only enhances the look of your landscape but also prevents potential issues with pest infestation and rot.
