At Tom's Trees we only remove trees when we must. Conflicts between trees and people usually arise through growth, weather or human impact, and our job is to resolve them so property and people are safe, while putting something back where we can.
When removal is the right answer
- The tree is dead, dying or structurally unsound and could fail onto people or property.
- Disease has progressed to the point where the tree can't be made safe.
- Storm damage has left it unstable or badly split.
- It has genuinely outgrown its space and pruning won't resolve the conflict.
- Approved development requires it, with the right permissions in place.
Alternatives worth considering first
Many problems (too much shade, branches over a roof, a tree that feels too big) can be solved without losing the tree. Crown reduction, thinning or lifting can bring back light and clearance while keeping a healthy tree in place.
Planting is just as important
Tom has a tree nursery of his own, where trees are often rescued and housed for rehoming. Where a tree has to come down, we'll talk to you about replacing it with the right tree in the right place. As Tom puts it: planting trees is just as important as removing them.
