EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Google Luke ReevesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from the East Hants Arb team. 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 Tree Pruning Is Essential
Regular professional pruning delivers several important benefits for your trees and property.
Promotes Healthy Growth – Removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches allows trees to direct energy toward healthy new growth, reducing pest and disease risk.
Improves Safety – Overgrown or weak branches pose risks to property and people. Professional pruning removes hazardous limbs before they fail.
Enhances Tree Structure – Well-pruned trees develop stronger, more balanced structures better able to withstand high winds and heavy snow.
Increases Light and Air Circulation – Strategic pruning allows sunlight and air to penetrate the canopy, reducing disease risk. For boundary hedges and screening, we also provide professional hedge cutting services.
Maintains Tree Aesthetics – Professional pruning enhances your tree’s natural form while keeping it appropriately sized for its location.
Our Professional Tree Pruning Services
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction involves carefully reducing a tree's height and spread by removing outer branches back to suitable growth points. Ideal for trees that have outgrown their space or become top-heavy, we typically reduce crown volume by 15-30% while maintaining natural shape. Unlike damaging topping practices, proper crown reduction promotes healthy regrowth and maintains structural integrity.

Crown Thinning
Crown thinning removes selected branches throughout the canopy to reduce density while maintaining size and shape. This improves light penetration and air circulation, reducing disease risk and wind resistance. We remove crossing or rubbing branches that can cause bark damage and create entry points for pathogens.

Crown Lifting
Crown lifting removes lower branches to create clearance beneath the tree, improving access, visibility near roads, or allowing more light into gardens. We lift crowns to specified heights depending on your requirements, commonly used for street trees and those overhanging driveways.

Deadwood Removal
Dead or dying branches pose safety hazards and can harbour disease. We remove deadwood to reduce risk and improve tree health. Where appropriate and safe, we may recommend leaving some deadwood for biodiversity benefi

Structural Pruning
For established trees showing structural weaknesses, we can perform targeted pruning to improve stability. If a tree is beyond saving and requires removal, we can handle the entire process including stump grinding to completely clear the site.
