Comprehensive Tree Surgery Services

Our experienced team carries out a wide range of arboricultural works, from routine maintenance to complex operations involving large or protected trees. Services include:

Tree Felling

Safe, controlled removal of unwanted, diseased, or dangerous trees. We handle everything from single trees to large-scale site clearances.

Crown Thinning

Selective removal of branches throughout the crown to increase light levels and reduce wind resistance, improving both the tree's health and nearby property safety.

Crown Lifting

Raising the canopy by removing lower branches, providing clearance for paths, roads, or buildings, and enhancing sightlines.

Crown Reduction & Pruning

Reducing the height and spread of the canopy while preserving the tree’s natural shape. Ideal for managing tree size in tight spaces or near buildings.

Deadwood Removal

Eliminating dead, dying, or damaged branches to reduce risk and improve safety, especially in high-use areas.

Pollarding

A traditional pruning technique used to manage tree size and shape, particularly in urban or confined areas.

Large Hedge Cutting

Expert trimming and maintenance of large hedges for domestic, commercial, and public sites.

Stump Grinding

Efficient removal of tree stumps to prevent regrowth and reclaim usable space.

Planning Permission & Protected Trees

If your tree is located in a Conservation Area or is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), consent from the Local Planning Authority may be required before any work can be carried out.

At Elite Ecology, we take care of the process on your behalf, including:

Checking TPO and Conservation Area status
Submitting applications for consent
Liaising with your local planning team as needed

This ensures your project remains fully compliant with legal requirements.
