Tree surgery or specifically Arboriculture is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. It is both a practice and a science.

The science of arboriculture studies how these plants grow and respond to cultural practices and to their environment. The practice of arboriculture includes cultural techniques such as selection, planting, training, fertilization, pest and pathogen control, pruning, shaping, and removal.

Selecting the correct diagnosis and remedial works for your trees is very important; this should be followed up with correct pruning techniques to ensure the welfare of trees and shrubs.

William and his team can provide you with the best possible advice and cost effective solutions to any problem.

The company is a registered Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor and has regular audits to ensure we are working in line with current legislation and to the appropriate standards when we undertake tree work and tree felling operations.
