Scope of Work
What's Included
Tree Felling & Removal
Safe, controlled removal of trees of any size, from tight garden spaces requiring sectional dismantling to open-ground straight felling. All waste cleared from site.
Tree Pruning & Shaping
Expert pruning to BS 3998 standards that improves tree health, encourages strong growth, and lets more light into your garden or property.
Crown Reduction
Reduces the overall height and spread of a tree's canopy while preserving its natural shape. Ideal for managing large trees near buildings or boundaries.
Crown Lifting & Thinning
Raises the canopy by removing lower branches for better clearance over paths, driveways, and buildings. Crown thinning opens the canopy to improve airflow and light penetration.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Complete stump grinding below ground level after felling, leaving the area ready for replanting, turfing, paving, or other landscaping work.
Site & Land Clearance
Full vegetation, scrub, and tree clearance for building plots, overgrown gardens, and development sites, including root removal and waste disposal.

FAQ
Common Questions
Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Stirling?
It depends. Trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a Conservation Area require permission from Stirling Council before any work can begin. During our free site assessment, we check for TPOs and advise you on any permissions needed, so you never have to worry about compliance.
When is the best time to prune trees in Scotland?
Most deciduous trees are best pruned during the dormant season between November and March, when the tree is not actively growing. This reduces stress on the tree and makes the branch structure easier to assess. Some species, such as cherry and plum, are better pruned in summer to reduce the risk of disease. We advise on the ideal timing for your specific trees during our free assessment.
How much does tree removal cost in Scotland?
Tree removal costs vary depending on the size of the tree, its location, access to the site, and whether stump grinding is needed. A small garden tree might start from around £150–£300, while larger or more complex removals can be significantly more. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after visiting your property so you know exactly what to expect.
What is crown reduction and when is it needed?
Crown reduction is a pruning technique that reduces the overall height and spread of a tree's canopy while keeping its natural shape. It is commonly used when a tree has outgrown its space, is too close to a building, or is blocking light. Unlike topping, which damages the tree, crown reduction is carried out to proper arboricultural standards and supports healthy regrowth.
Do you offer emergency tree removal in Stirling?
Yes. We provide a 24/7 emergency call-out service for storm-damaged trees, fallen branches, and dangerous trees at risk of collapse. We cover Stirling, Falkirk, Alloa, Dunblane, Bridge of Allan, and the wider Stirling area. Call us any time for urgent tree work.
Do I need a tree surgeon or can I do the work myself?
Any tree work involving height, large branches, or proximity to power lines and buildings should be carried out by a qualified tree surgeon. DIY tree work is a leading cause of serious injury in the UK. Our arborists are fully trained, insured, and equipped to work safely at height and in confined spaces.
Can you remove tree stumps after felling?
Yes. We offer stump grinding as part of our tree removal service or as a standalone job. Our stump grinder removes the stump below ground level, and the area can then be backfilled and used for replanting, laying turf, or paving. Stump grinding is far quicker and less disruptive than manual stump extraction.
