Trees First
A new approach to tree work
Other companies often find ways to justify removing perfectly healthy trees. The way they are set up, it is simply more profitable for them. Trees First was built from the ground up to be different.
We will work with you to create a tailored plan to minimise waste from start to finish. Our sustainable approach is designed to minimise disruption to you while keeping costs down.
Specialised equipment
We select the right kit for each site, from compact chippers to precision rigging, so delicate work can be completed safely where space is tight or a lighter touch is required.
Fully qualified arborists
Accredited training, insurance, and industry best practice inform every action, from routine pruning to complex preservation plans.
Preservation-first philosophy
We prune, brace, and support wherever possible, favouring measured interventions that extend the life of trees. However, we understand that removals are sometimes the best option.

Services we offer
How we work
We arrive when promised and are easy to contact. We work safely and carefully, and conduct ourselves professionally throughout. Every job finishes with a tidy, well‑kept garden, with clear communication from start to finish.
Crown Lifting
Removal of lower branches to raise canopy height, improving clearance for access, light, and views. Ideal for driveways, footpaths, and garden use beneath mature trees.
Fruit Tree Pruning
Seasonal, considered pruning that supports structure and fruiting performance. Selected to encourage airflow, reduce disease risk, and maintain manageable height for harvesting.
Bracing
Discrete, engineered supports that stabilise weak unions or extended limbs. Used to preserve mature trees where structural reinforcement is preferable to heavy reduction.
Use of Woodchip in the Garden
On‑site chippings can be bagged for use in your garden. Wood chip is an excellent mulch, it improve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and builds soil health.
Removals (where needed)
When removal is the only responsible option, we plan controlled dismantling or felling to protect the surrounding landscape. Always accompanied by clear rationale and after‑care guidance.
Hedge Cutting
Regular trimming for formal and informal hedges, keeping lines crisp and growth healthy. Consistent cutting maintains density, controls height, and keeps boundaries looking smart throughout the seasons.
Formative & Ornamental Pruning
Careful shaping to guide young trees and enhance established specimens. We encourage balanced development, maintain long‑term structure, and preserve the visual character of your landscape.
Specialist Garden Clearance
Heavy or awkward clearance, woody overgrowth, and challenging cutbacks where arborist tools and experience make a difference. Ideal for difficult access, dense material, and precise outdoor tidy‑ups.
