Three trees shortened in height quickly, and tidily. Couldn’t have been easier to deal with, and the bill even came down with slightly less work than anticipated! Highly recommended.

Ali did a great job of trimming our tree. He was really friendly and helpful, arrived on time and cleared everything away afterwards, what more could you want? Highly recommended!

How do I approach tree removal in North Berwick?

Tree removal in North Berwick, especially in the built up areas of the town can be high risk, dangering people and property. This is why we always suggest using a professional tree surgeon with the experience and knowhow to tackle the jobs. In addition tree removal often requires a permit from the planning department within North Berwick council.

Why you would want to fell a tree depends on many factors, such if the tree was damaged by storms, is poorly placed or if the tree is causing damage to property. In many cases, tree management is the first choice for tree surgeons in North Berwick, preserving the life of the tree and local ecology.

Why is tree pruning is important?

Proper tree maintenance such a tree pruning is an important part of upkeep in towns like North Berwick. It’s not just a job for the local authority, but for those with trees in their gardens. A well maintained tree using branch pruning techniques helps shape the tree, reduce height and thins the canopy. This allows more light to reach lower areas, supporting good health and long life.

While we’re improving the structure of your tree, we’ll remove the deadwood from branches. We do this not just to reduce the risk of disease to your tree but because of North Berwick’s coastal position, deadwood removal reduces the chance of falling branches, a hazard can affect both people and property.

Are there any requirements for hedge cutting in North Berwick?

While there are no specific regulations for hedge cutting in North Berwick, there are a number of consideration to be made. As qualified tree surgeons we’re well versed in hedge care. Considerations include boundaries between properties, as you can’t force your neighbour to reduce the height or size of their hedge. Hedge cutting can disturb wildlife.

Our North Berwick tree surgeons have worked with all forms of hedge types, some require regular cutting, others are easier to manage. Some hedges can be permanently damaged without careful consideration of species and seasonality.
