    JWT Tree Services Ltd is a friendly, reliable professional tree surgery business, covering Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian and surrounding areas. Trees usually develop in balance with their surroundings and enhance our quality of life both visually – especially in urban settings – and practically by supplying the oxygen we breathe. They also play an integral part in providing habitat, food and shelter for wildlife, such as birds and other small animals. However, often their close proximity to urban structures, like houses, fences and walls, mean that they can come into conflict with people and/or property, especially when they pose a danger through damage caused by extreme weather, pests or disease, or simply through the natural process of growth and dieback. In all cases, our professional and fully licensed and qualified tree surgeons can advise you on the best possible and safest options, taking both your interest and that of the tree(s) into consideration. This can take the form of: pruning, crown lifting, thinning or complete tree removal. Stump grinding and removal. Tree felling. Depending on your location, permission by the local council may be required prior to commencing any tree surgery work. We can help with that. Here at JWT Tree Services Ltd, we always provide you with a detailed written quote and, where applicable, obtain any council permissions on your behalf, free of charge. You will be kept informed throughout the whole process, and a mutually agreeable appointment to carry out the work will be made in advance, so there will be no surprises to you at any stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming

Find answers to common questions about tree trimming and hiring professional arborists in the UK.

How much does it cost to trim a large tree?

Trimming a large tree can be more expensive than trimming smaller trees due to the additional time and equipment required. Cost varies based on these factors:
  • Size and shape of the tree: The larger the tree, the more extensive the work will be.
  • Accessibility: If the tree is difficult to reach, specialized equipment might be needed.
  • Type of pruning required: Crown reduction or thinning can increase costs.
  • Location: Regional differences in labor costs will affect pricing.
  • Waste disposal: Removing and disposing of pruned branches adds to the expense.

Requesting quotes from multiple tree care companies is highly recommended for receiving competitive pricing and accurate estimates for large tree trimming projects. LocalTreeSurgeon will help you compare your options and make an informed choice.

What is the difference between crown thinning and crown reduction?

Crown thinning and crown reduction are two distinct tree pruning techniques:
  • Crown Thinning: This technique selectively removes branches from *within* the crown, reducing its density. This increases light penetration, air circulation, and reduces wind resistance, benefiting the tree's health and vigor. It doesn't alter the tree's overall size or shape significantly.
  • Crown Reduction: This technique aims to reduce the overall *size* of the crown. It involves reducing the length of branches back to strong lateral branches, preserving the tree's natural form while controlling its dimensions.
A qualified arborist can help determine which technique is most suitable for your trees, based on their species, condition, and your specific needs.

How to choose a tree trimming company?

Choosing the right tree trimming company is a significant decision that impacts your trees' health, safety, and the overall appearance of your property. Consider these factors:
  • Experience and qualifications: Choose a company that has a proven track record and employs certified arborists.
  • Insurance and licensing: Verify that the company carries adequate liability and workers' compensation insurance. Check your local guidelines.
  • Safety practices: Inquire about their safety procedures and ensure they use appropriate safety equipment.
  • References: Ask for references and check online reviews.
  • Equipment: Verify they have access to the right equipment for the job, such as aerial lifts, chainsaws, and safety gear.
  • Written estimates: Request a detailed written estimate that clearly outlines the scope of work, costs, and timeframe.
  • Communication: Choose a company that communicates clearly, is responsive, and addresses your questions and concerns.

LocalTreeSurgeon can help you find and compare vetted tree trimming companies in your area, ensuring you have all the information needed to make a well-informed decision.

What is crown cleaning?

Crown cleaning focuses on removing dead, diseased, broken, or crossing branches from within a tree's crown. This improves the tree's appearance, reduces the risk of branch failure, and promotes overall tree health. Crown cleaning is an essential part of tree maintenance.
