Services
We specialise in all manners of professional tree services while operating under the philosophy that "Your Recommendation is our Reputation". We use only the safest methods of felling, where possible felling the tree whole, as you would in a forestry style situation. Pollarding is a severe tree pruning technique that involves lopping off most of a tree's branches where they meet the trunk.
There are many reasons for the felling of trees. Occasionally trees may become diseased and be in a state of decline beyond any method of alternate care; the tree/s may be affecting planning applications or construction projects; or the tree/s may be felled out of personal preference. We use only the safest methods of felling, where possible felling the tree whole, as you would in a forestry style situation.
Hedgelines in gardens help not only to provide security and privacy but also help with the aesthetics of a garden. By keeping them well trimmed and maintained the hedges become "trained" to look tight and full and reduces the need to heavily cut them back. Here at Branchwalkers we have all the equipment and ability needed to tackle hedges of all sizes, from small landscaped hedges to large perimeter hedgelines.
Sometimes gardens become unused and neglected; in a short space of time they can become extremely overgrown and totally unmanageable. We are able to clear your garden for you which will in turn allow you to begin any landscaping works you wish and leave you garden neat, tidy and ready to be used again.
Here at Branchwalkers we know that you understand the importance of trees and their maintenance, however sometimes the technical aspects of their preservation and protection can be daunting. Some trees have an order on them which is called a TPO - Tree Preservation Order. These are applied to ensure that no unnecessary works or damage can come to trees of high amenity and environmental value.

Highly recommended..10/10...Wanted a tree removed, another repositioned and some to be trimmed. Business owner Sam responded within 10 minutes and came on time along with Charlie. They were quick and efficiently, knew what they were doing, had all the right equipment and left the place more organised and cleaner, then before. Sam offered many tips, helped in organising my fence (not part of the deal) and was so polite and helpful. He is definitely coming back, to do any garden work I have, for sure....

I called Branchwalkers to request a quote - they came around the next day, gave me a price which I accepted and they the tree cut down 2 hours later, root removed, cleared up any mess and were done in a little over an hour. 3 operatives, who worked well as a team and got the job done with no fuss or drama. Polite and friendly - I would highly recommend them to anyone

I called them up to get a quote for having a couple of trees cut down. The guy agreed to come around on Sunday between 2-3. He didn’t turn up and I wasted my afternoon waiting in for him. I text him and he said he was stuck in traffic, I tried calling him but he didn’t pick up my call. It’s been 3 days since he was supposed to come out to me and he hasn’t had the decency to call me and apologise. Waste of time!!!!!

We had a very large tree in our garden damaged by a storm. We phoned Branchwalkers and they came out to quote within an hour, and came the next day to do the work. The were really efficient and polite, and worked in a really awkward spot between two sheds and over 6m high in the trees removing huge broken branches. All the waste was removed and the place was left spotless.
Incredible service, great work, great price. We'll be using them again and I'll be recommending them to our neighbours.
