Removal of Trees and Bushes
Overgrown trees and dense bushes can quickly take over a garden, block sunlight, damage boundaries, and make routine upkeep difficult. Our tree and bush removal service is designed to restore space, improve safety, and give you a clean slate for whatever you want to do next, whether that is replanting, installing a patio, or simply enjoying a tidier outdoor area.
We handle everything from small shrub pull outs to the careful dismantling of larger trees in confined spaces. Each job is planned to reduce disruption, protect nearby plants and structures, and leave the site neat when we finish.
What We Remove and When It Makes Sense
Not every plant needs removing, but there are clear situations where removal is the best option. If a tree is diseased, unstable, leaning, or causing damage to paving, drains, sheds, or fences, taking it out can prevent more costly repairs later. Bushes may also need to go if they have become unmanageable, are blocking access, or have turned into a hiding place for pests.
Typical requests include:
- Problem trees that are unsafe, dead, storm damaged, or interfering with buildings and power lines
- Unwanted shrubs that have outgrown their space or are shading lawns and flower beds
- Thick hedges that are reducing driveway visibility or narrowing walkways
- Self seeded growth and invasive plants spreading into borders and neighbouring areas
- Site clearance for new landscaping, extensions, or garden redesign projects
If you are unsure whether removal or pruning is the right choice, we can advise based on the plant condition, location, and your plans for the space. Many clients pair removals with tree pruning services to keep healthy trees while improving light and structure.
Our Safe, Step by Step Removal Process
1. Assessment and planning
We start by reviewing access, the surrounding area, and any risks to property, fences, sheds, patios, cables, or garden features. For larger trees or tight spaces, we plan a controlled dismantle so sections can be lowered safely without damage.
2. Controlled cutting and removal
Bushes and smaller trees are typically removed at ground level and extracted where possible. Larger trees are reduced in stages, using safe working methods to manage weight and direction of fall. We aim to protect lawns, borders, and hard surfaces throughout the work.
3. Stump treatment options
A stump left behind can re sprout and get in the way of replanting or paving. Where required, we can cut stumps down low or arrange stump grinding so the area is ready for turf, planting, or construction. The best approach depends on your future plans and the tree species.
4. Clean up and responsible disposal
All branches, logs, and cuttings are gathered and removed from site. We take care of green waste removal so you do not have to organise skips or repeated trips to a recycling centre. Final tidy up includes raking, collecting debris, and leaving paths and driveways clear.
Residential and Commercial Tree and Bush Clearance
We work with homeowners, landlords, facility managers, and small businesses who need reliable clearance with minimal disruption. For residential properties, removals often support improvements like new lawns, safer play areas, or better light into living spaces. For commercial sites, the focus is usually access, visibility, safety, and ongoing upkeep, especially around car parks, entrances, storage yards, and boundary lines.
If your project includes a broader refresh, we can coordinate removals as part of wider landscaping services such as garden clearance, hedge shaping, and preparing beds for new planting. This helps keep timelines simple and avoids gaps between trades.
How to Prepare and What to Expect
Before we arrive, it helps to clear small personal items from the work zone, such as pots, furniture, and children toys. If access is through a side gate or narrow passage, let us know in advance so we can plan equipment and removal routes. We will also confirm where you would like any logs left, if you want to keep them for firewood.
Time on site depends on the size and number of plants, the density of growth, and whether stump grinding is included. After completion, the area will look more open and manageable. If you plan to replant, lay turf, or add paving, we can advise on soil condition and next steps so the space develops well.

FAQ
Do you remove the roots and stumps as well as the tree or bush?
We can remove the plant at ground level and offer stump treatment options based on your plans. If you need the area ready for turf, paving, or replanting, stump grinding is often the best choice. We will explain what is suitable after assessing the site.
What happens to the branches, logs, and cuttings after removal?
All green waste is collected and taken away as part of the service, unless you request to keep logs for firewood. We tidy the area and clear paths and driveways so you are not left with piles to deal with.
Can you remove trees and bushes in tight spaces near fences or buildings?
Yes, we regularly work in confined gardens and along boundaries. Larger trees can be dismantled in sections to avoid damage, and we plan access and lowering points before starting. This controlled approach keeps nearby structures and planting protected.
