Our services
Tree Removal and Felling
Professional and safe tree removal starts with an evaluation of the tree’s health, location and risks associated with removal. With specialized state-of-the-art equipment like cranes and aerial chainsaws, we are able to work efficiently while doing our best to limit disruption. Considerations such as disease, structural failure or risk of structural failure, or proximity to other structures determine the decision to remove a tree. A professional evaluation keeps your property safe and tree-friendly, while respecting local regulations
Tree Pruning, Pollarding and Shaping
Pruning helps keep trees healthy by removing dead and diseased branches and allows for more air circulation and light penetration. Techniques such as crown thinning, crown lifting, or reduction are used to sculpt trees ARTISTICALLY. Our team is well-versed in maintaining all species to achieve the best functional and aesthetic results.
Tree Surveys and Inspections
We provide professional tree surveys and inspections to help you manage tree-related risks, comply with legal obligations, and maintain healthy landscapes.

Emergency Tree Services
We quickly respond to emergencies including storm damage, removing hazards with trained professionals and specialized equipment.
Navigating London’s Tree Regulations
Navigating London’s tree regulations is important to know. It helps to keep tree work done with respect to local regulations, and to find that balance between growing up and growing green. With the right guidance, these rules can simultaneously protect trees and the environment while allowing for property maintenance in a responsible way.
Homeowners shouldn’t have to parse complicated legal language. These regulations determine whether or not you are able to prune, remove, or otherwise manage a tree on your private property.
Council Permission Guidelines
Gaining council approval is an important third stage of tree surgery. That process usually entails the submission of a formal application with a full, written Arborist, specialist report. This detailed description includes the tree’s location, species, size (girth or canopy spread), condition, and justification for the proposed work.
Further specifications could involve 2D or 3D renderings, cinematography, or digitally rendered aerial plans depicting the tree’s Critical Root Zone. Lastly, be sure to update your nonprofit’s records when there is a change in ownership or the primary contact.
You are required to do this within 15 days to inform the City Engineer. Overlooking even small details like these can cause delays or added trouble. Our expertise ensures all documentation is accurate, and we actively help you avoid pitfalls like incomplete submissions or misinterpretation of regulations, saving you time and effort.
Understanding Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are legal protections set on individual trees or woodlands. Secondly, they prohibit all work in advance of getting permission, including routine nuisance pruning.
Failure to comply can lead to fines. Supporting you every step of the way with our extensive experience navigating TPO-related challenges, we help you obtain permissions you need while reducing associated risks.
Conservation Area Considerations
In conservation areas, tree surgery is going to need additional consent in order to maintain the historic character of these historic landscapes.
Our expertise in navigating these limitations allows us to bring the project into compliance without sacrificing the integrity of the area.

Addressing Common Concerns
Every tree surgery project is different and we respect and understand that you may have queries before we get started. Below, we address some common concerns and explain how we maintain professionalism, safety, and consideration in every installation.
Neighboring Property Access
Getting on to adjacent properties or public land can be a tricky, sensitive part of the art of tree surgery. We take all possible measures, beginning with open lines of communication with our neighbors to prepare them for the work and their schedule. This is one way to create trust and reduce assumptions.
Our team works to make sure that each access point is carefully honored and utilized, protecting artists’ privacy while protecting the workflow of the spaces. When operating equipment such as cherry pickers or ladders near shared boundaries, we act to ensure they are adequately protected.
We put up safe protective coverings to make sure nothing gets ruined. Our professionalism means you can always expect a clean, safe and respectful job site throughout the entirety of the project.
Protecting Your Garden and Property
Our deep commitment to protecting gardens and homes is at the center of all we do. Before any installation takes place, we conduct a deep site analysis.
Next, we practice, responding by deploying protective mats or temporary barriers to protect sensitive surfaces from heavy equipment. Just like when working with our stump grinders or chippers, we always make sure to have our equipment placed so as not to destroy any adjacent plants or buildings.
Our experienced team’s in-depth planning and attention to detail allow us to have the greatest minimal impact possible without compromising the artistry of your outdoor environment.
Waste Removal and Site Cleanup
Post-action cleanup is extensive. We haul away all material, including chips and sawdust, leaving your home and yard clear. Green waste is recycled as much as possible, with woodchips turned into mulch or compost.
Vehicle dismantling MOTU’s commitment to environmentally responsible vehicle disposal and leaving the site clean after demolition are central to vehicle dismantling.
What Happens to Stump Grinder Waste?
Stump grinding creates a lot of fine wood particles. These are frequently reused as mulch, which helps to improve soil health by retaining moisture and cooling soil temperature. The majorty of the particles are placed back in the hole where the stump was ground and spread in across the soil nearby where is decomposes and improves the soil quality.
Any excess spread across structures is taken away. Our innovative, eco-friendly approach means that we manage waste in a safe, efficient, and sustainable way.
Our Commitment to Safety and Insurance
For us at tree surgery, safety and insurance are always our top priority.
Safety
Our commitment to safety and insurance goes beyond the required minimums, protecting our clients, our staff, and our environment. We treat every project with professionalism and care. Read on as we dive into the actions that put us in a class of our own.

We carry a $12 million liability insurance policy, including very strong coverage for professional tree surgery. This means that you, our client, are not at risk for any unexpected events. Our insurance covers damages and potential liabilities, providing peace of mind every step of the way.
Before hiring any contractor you should check that they’re insured—and we pride ourselves on being open about our insurance coverage. This ensures that your property and interests are protected at each step along the way.
Stringent Safety Protocols
Safety is non-negotiable in our work. Each project begins with a thorough risk assessment, following the guidelines set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and arboriculture best practices. Our team is equipped with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chainsaw-resistant boots, helmets with eye and ear protection, and protective trousers.

The Consultation and Work Process
Our tree surgery consultation and work process leaves nothing to chance. It provides a clean, prompt, and professional experience catered to your needs. We divide the process into integral phases to provide you with the highest quality deliverables, customized to your vision. We continue to communicate clearly, every step of the process.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The initial consultation sets the foundation for successful tree work. During this stage, we evaluate tree health, inspect site conditions, and discuss your preferences. Understanding factors like tree size, species, and location helps us craft solutions that meet your goals.
Thorough assessments are essential for identifying potential risks and ensuring a safe, effective plan. For example, when reducing an apple tree or trimming wisteria, our arborists determine the best techniques to maintain tree health and aesthetic appeal.
Detailed Quotation and Planning
We believe our quotation process should be as simple and transparent as possible, providing reassurance along the way. We take estimation seriously and look at things like necessary equipment, labor, and complexity of the task to give the most accurate estimate possible.
Above all, transparency—clients get a full service breakdown to keep them apprised and there are no surprises. Whether you’re taking out invasive vines or pruning trees, having clear plans in place makes for more efficient workdays.

Aftercare Advice and Support
We provide follow-up support, teaching clients proper long-term tree care practices to ensure success for years to come.
London-Specific Tree Surgery Challenges
Tree surgery in London presents its own specific set of challenges. The limited working space, high species diversity, and regulatory environment unique to the capital make the trees’ care tricky. Trees in areas like Kensington, Chelsea, and Wandsworth often grow in tight, confined spaces surrounded by buildings, utilities, and busy streets.
That has implications for tree management planning especially as it pertains to avoiding hazards while maintaining efficiency. Accessing these neighborhoods has often been a historic challenge. While these narrow alleys and side passages make removing logs and branches more challenging, they provide an alternative to stepping foot into someone’s home.
Our team has deep expertise in working with these constraints, avoiding disruption to your property and surrounding environment whenever possible.
Managing Trees in Urban Environments
Urban tree care requires an approach that addresses conflicts with infrastructure and issues of space and growing room. We have to navigate extensive utilities such as power lines and water pipes underneath the soil, making sure that no damage is done during pruning or removal.
Buildings and pavement roots are just as important, as trees that aren’t dealt with correctly can start to crack foundations and concrete. Our arborists follow BS3998:2010 guidelines to maintain urban tree health while balancing safety and aesthetics.
For example, pruning overgrown branches near buildings reduces hazards while preserving the tree’s vitality.
Adapting to Local Climate and Species
London’s unique wet winters and dry summers add further complications when it comes to growing and maintaining trees. We tailor services to species like London Plane and Horse Chestnut, common in the area, ensuring proper pruning and feeding schedules.
By controlling tree growth, we encourage the tree to develop a sturdy structure that will withstand urban stressors such as pollution, soil compaction, and limited soil nutrients.
Working Around Infrastructure
Working in tight spaces and coordinating with highways authorities for permits, particularly for protected or legally acknowledged trees, ensures adherence to conservation protections. Mitigating disruption takes extensive planning, whether in winter’s most active months when storms can hamper our work schedule.
Why Professional Qualifications Matter
Considering the delicate nature of tree surgery in London, professional qualifications are an essential starting point for high-quality work. Certified arborists, with NPTC qualifications, are the most highly trained professionals in the business. Their diverse skills save clients money, make communities healthier, and protect the environment.
These qualifications represent an advanced understanding of professional tree care practices. Beyond that, though, they demonstrate an acute focus on following industry standards, maintaining safety, and promoting efficiency.
Ensuring Expertise and Competence
Professional qualifications assure you that your tree surgeon has the expertise to tackle complex tasks, from pruning to disease management. Through NPTC certification, these professionals gain a wealth of knowledge on tree biology and anatomy. They’re taught the latest science of correct treatment so trees are offered the best and most responsible care.
Continuing education is equally important to arboriculture, where it’s essential for practitioners to remain informed about new developments in practices and laws. Our team only uses certified arborists with a passion for tree care ethic and expertise. We serve our clients with accurate answers to problems such as a pest invasion or loss of structural integrity.
Taking this approach protects the health and longevity of their trees.
Adhering to Industry Best Practices
They are dedicated professionals who are required to adhere to high industry standards in order to provide safe and effective tree care. For example, NPTC qualifications focus on ensuring adherence to applicable local laws and further encourage the adoption of best practices that minimize risk while conducting their operations.
When we uphold tough standards, we improve safety on our project and your assets. Beyond public safety and aesthetic considerations, there are compelling, sustainable reasons for responsible tree management that lead to healthier urban ecosystems.
Providing Peace of Mind
Doing this gives the public confidence that tree work will be carried out with professionalism and expertise. Our professional qualifications prevent these hazards, whether it’s damage to property or bad pruning practices.
By prioritizing long-term health, we provide the best possible results that help your trees blossom for generations to come.
