Services
Pruning
Pruning involves selective removal of branches, buds, or roots to enhance plant health, shape growth, and reduce hazards from falling branches. Our team targets diseased, damaged, or structurally unsound tissue, ensuring compliance with British Standards 3998. This service improves tree longevity and safety for residential and commercial properties.
Felling
We dismantle trees using sectional felling techniques, ideal for confined spaces or areas with nearby structures. Our process employs ropes and precision cutting to ensure safety and minimal disruption. This service is tailored for complete tree removal while adhering to strict safety protocols and environmental considerations.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding eliminates tree stumps using portable and industrial grinders, reducing them to wood chips. This service clears space for landscaping or construction, addressing both small gardens and large-scale sites. We ensure thorough removal while maintaining site cleanliness and safety standards.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction selectively removes branches to reduce wind resistance and improve tree stability. This method enhances structural integrity against adverse weather while preserving natural shape. We prioritise tree health and longevity, avoiding harmful practices like excessive topping.
Hedge Cutting
Hedge cutting maintains aesthetic appeal and health by trimming overgrown foliage. Our team shapes hedges to prevent encroachment and promote dense growth. This service ensures neat, well-defined boundaries for gardens and properties, using precision tools and techniques.

I cannot recommend highly enough. We've just had three trees removed and the service was brilliant. Trees were removed and everything was left tidy. Thank you.

Report
My mother contacted JR Wilson for a Cherry Tree reduction. The tree was very spindling and needed a lot of work. 3 guys arrived on the arranged date and on time to carry out the job. Their manner was professional and friendly. They carried out the job skilfully and promptly, working hard to ensure a perfect result and all debris was cleared. The job was completed for an excellent price, Extremely happy with the work carried out, a fantastic job! I can't recommend them enough!
