The kids may have returned to school and the nights are drawing in, but now is precisely the time for selecting the right team of tree surgeons to assess, monitor and maintain the trees on your school grounds.

For instance, as a landlord you go to great lengths to choose the right agents who will interview, […]

Tree surgery is like skydiving, it’s relatively safe, so long as you have the right training and equipment. Attempt it without putting in all the hours of study and experience and, well, let’s just say the results won’t be pretty!

I think it’d be fair for us to assume that the doctoral level graduate will have a far better grasp of their chosen subject than […]

Decades working on our leafy neighbours throughout London, Essex and south Hertfordshire has given me a unique appreciation for how thoroughly diverse, complex and valuable trees are.
