24-HOUR CALL-OUT

Tree felling & removal

Trees taken down safely, in one piece where there's room or in sections near houses and fences. Planned or in an emergency.

Pruning & crown reduction

Dead, diseased and overgrown branches removed. The canopy reduced while keeping the tree's natural shape.

Stump grinding

Stumps ground out below soil level so they can't regrow, leaving ground ready to turf or plant.

Hedge trimming & shaping

Hedges cut to your height and shape and kept dense and healthy, for boundaries or decoration.

Garden clearance

Overgrown gardens cleared of shrubs, debris and fallen branches, ready for new planting.

DAY & NIGHT

Storm & emergency work

Fallen trees, hung-up limbs and anything leaning on a roof, car or road. Made safe first, then cleared.

Tree Surgery

Protected trees in Scarborough

Some trees can't be touched without the council's say-so. A tree may carry a Tree Preservation Order, or stand in a conservation area, where you must give the council six weeks' written notice before most work.

Cutting a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence. Tell us your address when you call and we'll help you find out where you stand before any work is booked.

Ask us to check

TPO

Tree Preservation Orders protect individual trees, groups and woodlands. Consent is needed for most work.

6 wks

Notice to the council before work on most trees in a conservation area.

75mm

Conservation area rules apply to trees with a trunk over 75mm across, measured 1.5m above ground.

Mar–Aug

Main bird nesting season. Active nests are protected by law, so we check before cutting.

Where we work
