Tree Pruning in Edinburgh
Tree Felling & Removal
Need a tree removed from your property? Our tree felling and dismantling services are carried out with care and compliance, whether for safety, space, or construction.
We carry out full risk assessments and, where space is limited, use sectional dismantling techniques to remove trees safely and efficiently.
Reasons for tree felling include:
- Diseased or dying trees
- Storm-damaged or leaning trees
- Roots causing damage to property
- Site preparation for building works
We can assist with local authority applications if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or located in a conservation area.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Leftover stumps can pose a safety hazard and hinder garden plans. Our stump grinding and treatment services eliminate stumps efficiently, allowing for turfing, replanting or landscaping.
We offer:
- Mechanical stump grinding down to 300mm
- Eco Plug Max herbicide treatment for inaccessible stumps
- Safe, tidy and eco-friendly service
All waste is removed or repurposed responsibly.
