Over the years, we’ve built a solid reputation across Bolton and the surrounding Greater Manchester areas. From compact town gardens to larger rural properties, we treat every job with the same care, professionalism and attention to detail.
While we’re proud of the work we do, the real proof comes from the people who trust us with their trees. Here’s what a few of our local customers have said about working with us.
“Excellent service from start to finish.” We contacted them about pruning a large mature tree in our Bolton garden. From the first phone call through to the final tidy-up, everything was handled professionally. The team were friendly, hardworking and clearly knew what they were doing. The difference it’s made to our garden is amazing. We’ll definitely be using them again.
“Professional, clear and easy to deal with.” They carried out tree surgery at our property near Westhoughton and did a fantastic job. Before starting, they explained exactly what needed to be done and why. The work was carried out safely and efficiently, and the team were very respectful of our property. A very professional company.
"Quick response after storm damage.” Strong winds damaged one of our trees and it became a real safety concern. They came out the same day and made everything safe. The advice was honest, the price was fair, and they left the garden spotless afterwards. It’s reassuring to have a reliable local company you can call.
“Consistently great service.” We’ve used them several times for tree removal and general maintenance at our home near Farnworth. Every visit has been excellent. The team are polite, respectful to neighbours, and always leave the garden tidy when they finish. Highly recommended

During your site visit, we’ll explain which approach is most suitable for your tree species and long-term goals.
Most trees benefit from inspection and maintenance every one to three years, depending on species, age and location.

If a tree has been damaged by strong winds:
Storm-damaged trees can be unpredictable and hazardous. It’s always safer to have them inspected by qualified professionals.
A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal protection placed on specific trees by the local authority.
If a tree is protected, you must obtain permission before carrying out pruning or removal work. Failure to do so can result in significant fines.
We can check the status of your trees and manage the application process on your behalf to ensure full compliance.
Normally, unless a Woodland TPO is proposed, only trees over 3.5m in height are considered for a TPO. Hedges, bushes and shrubs will not be protected. A Woodland TPO protects all trees within the defined area, including natural regeneration – seedlings and saplings i.e. trees less than 3.5m in height are not excluded.
If you wish to carry out works to protected trees you must first seek the Department’s consent to do so by contacting the Tree Officer in your local Planning Office
