Thank youPosted on Google Ben WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic job clearing trees in our gardenPosted on Google Isabel MadelungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed to trim back our oak tree and also cut out all the dead branches. I got 4 quotes and not only was Joe the most competitive, but he was also the quickest in responding to my queries and answering all my questions. Joe came across as competent, professional and experienced, and very customer oriented. His team that did the job were friendly and efficient and careful in ensuring that branches did not fall into the neighbour’s garden. They took all branches away with them as agreed, and tidied up the garden afterwards. Even my neighbour gave positive feedback saying they did a “very neat and careful job”. And more importantly, the shape of the trimmed back oak tree is excellent and I am a happy customer.Posted on Google Graham WilloughbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a problem with a very large red oak tree with a TPO, some evidence of disease and over hanging my neighbour's property.After acquiring planning permission to pollard the tree I obtained three quotes for the work.Joe's was the most competitive and he the most reactive. He used an impressive machine that clasped a limb and out popped a chain saw severing the branch. With a reach of 27 metres the machine reduced the red oak to the agreed size, transported the bulk timber off sited. tidied the garden. all in one day and with nothing dropping in my neighbour's garden. Joe and his teamed did an amazingly good job. He is very customer focused and quietly efficient. I thoroughly recommend him to you for your tree surgeon work. Graham WilloughbyPosted on Google Elane VassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had Joe and the team back for the 3rd phase of the maintenance programme, and it was all completed to a very high standard, including a very comprehensive clean up as well. We'd highly recommend EH Arborists to anyone who may need tree work carried out in their own property.

Why Professional Tree Pruning Matters
Regular, skilled pruning delivers vital benefits to your trees and property; to prune trees properly, timing depends on the tree species as well as the pruning objective:
Promotes Healthier Trees – Removing dead, diseased, or broken branches helps your trees focus energy on healthy growth and lowers the risk of pests and diseases.
Enhances Safety – Overgrown or unstable branches can fall unexpectedly. Professional pruning removes hazardous limbs, protecting your property and loved ones.
Strengthens Tree Structure – Well-maintained trees develop balanced, resilient frameworks that withstand storms, heavy snow, and strong winds.
Improves Light & Airflow – Thinning dense canopies increases sunlight and air circulation, helping foliage dry quickly after rain, promoting a healthier tree environment and reducing fungal disease risks. For boundary screening, we also offer expert hedge cutting services.
Preserves Natural Beauty – Our pruning enhances your tree’s natural form while managing size to suit your landscape.
Most trees are pruned during the dormant season, typically late autumn to early spring, with November to March suiting general maintenance.
Flowering trees are usually pruned immediately after flowering to avoid removing future buds.
Comprehensive Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming Services
Crown Reduction
Our precise crown reduction reduces tree height and spread by 15-30%, removing thicker branches back to healthy growth points, and on a tall tree or other large trees it is best planned for winter or early spring where suitable. This method prevents unsafe topping and encourages strong regrowth, maintaining your tree’s natural shape and stability. Crown reduction is specialist tree work, and costs for large trees are usually far higher than a basic small-tree pruning job, with major crown reduction starting from about £2,200.

Crown Thinning
Selective crown thinning and removal of small and crossing branches throughout the canopy reduces density without altering overall size or shape. This promotes better light penetration and air circulation, and selectively thinning all the branches helps foliage dry more quickly after rain, lowering disease risk and wind resistance while supporting new growth without changing the tree’s overall outline.

Crown Lifting
We remove lower branches to raise the crown, creating clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, and improving garden light. Ideal for street trees or those overhanging driveways, we tailor crown lifting to your specific clearance needs. When trimming trees near power lines, this work should only be handled by a professional tree surgeon or local tree surgeon for safety and compliance.

Deadwood Removal
Removing dead branches, dead wood, damaged branches, diseased branches, and broken limbs reduces hazards from falling branches and limits disease spread. Dead wooding is often recommended where weak branches or a diseased tree create safety concerns. Where safe and appropriate, some deadwood may be retained to support local wildlife. Dead wooding costs usually range from £450 to £1,500, depending on access and tree size.

Structural Pruning
Targeted pruning corrects weak or problematic tree structures to enhance stability and longevity, and this structural work often includes formative pruning on young trees, especially between 1 and 5 years old, to build a strong framework. Avoid heavy pruning, particularly during extreme heat or active spring leaf emergence, and as a rule no more than about 20% to 25% of the live canopy should usually be removed in one year. For diseased or dangerous trees beyond repair, we provide expert tree removal and stump grinding to safely clear your site.

Before any work starts, check whether your own tree is subject to a tree preservation order, as you need permission for protected trees, and note that cutting in a conservation area also requires local council approval.
Pruning should avoid the nesting season, typically March to August, and because the wider UK period for nesting birds often runs from February to August, you must check for active nests first; it is illegal to disturb nesting birds or any wild bird during that time.
