We had some huge trees pruned this week. James and his team were super nice, punctual, and neat. I was worried about other people’s gardens, but they were super professional and cleaned up everything. While on job, they asked my opinion multiple times. Super happy with the result.

Quick response and kept in touch with messages, polite and friendly. Showed up on time and removed two trees and a huge amount of bamboo in a garden with no access except through the house. The price was reasonable and would absolutely recommend thus company.

Say goodbye to unsightly tree stumps with ARB UK’s professional stump grinding and stump removal services.

Any underground root systems will decay naturally over time.
Crown reduction reduces the height and spread of the crown, or top of the tree, and is somewhat of an art form. Our experienced arborists can assess your tree and recommend the correct level of reduction for its species and age, and then carry out a neat and balanced reduction.
TREE POLLARDING
Pollarding is a technique where trees or shrubs are regularly pruned back to a head of branches. Our certified arborists use specialised techniques to selectively remove branches, which stimulates new growth and rejuvenates mature trees. Our tree pollarding experts will tailor their approach to your specific needs.
TREE SURGEON FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Accreditations Do ARB UK Tree Surgeons Have?
ARB UK is proud to be accredited by the Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor Scheme, which is the only comprehensive accreditation for arboricultural contractors (tree surgeons) in the UK. This accreditation shows that we have been thoroughly assessed in tree work and health and safety, which means you are guaranteed high quality tree care carried out safely and professionally to British Standard specifications.
Do I Need Permission To Prune Or Fell A Tree In My Garden?
It depends on the tree and its location. If the tree is in a Conservation Area or is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you will need permission from your local authority before performing any work.
Unauthorised work on protected trees can lead to legal penalties and fines, so it is always worth a check before you go ahead. Our team can check whether a TPO or conservation area applies to your tree and assist you with the council application. If you rent your home, you should report any tree issues to your landlord or letting agent rather than arrange the work yourself.
Even if the tree is not protected, it’s always a good idea to talk to a professional tree surgeon like ARB UK to ensure the work is done safely and in a way that benefits the tree’s health. You can find out more information here.
How Much Does Tree Surgery Cost?
The cost of tree surgery depends on the type of work, the size and height of the tree, and its location on your property/premises.
