What we do

Every kind of tree work

From a single overgrown conifer to a big tree taken down piece by piece next to the house.

Tree Felling & Removal by Tree King

Tree Felling & Removal

Dead limbs fall without warning. Taking them out early protects people and property, and often saves the rest of the tree.

  • Safety work over gardens, roads and roofs
  • Advice on whether a tree can be kept

Are you insured?

Yes, Tree King is fully insured.

Do you take all the waste away?

Do I need permission to cut my tree?

Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or sit in a conservation area. If you're not sure, check with your local council before work starts — and mention it when you send us the photo.
