Kings Norton is a place where trees matter, and that is exactly why felling one should be done properly. We take down unwanted, unsafe and overgrown trees for homeowners here, checking the rules first and working with care, so that your property and the surrounding street are left undamaged and the job is done calmly.
Our first step is a visit to look at the tree, how it stands and how we would reach it. We explain whether felling is the right choice or whether a lighter option would do. You then decide, with the facts in front of you and no pressure.
The village centre of Kings Norton is a conservation area, which means most trees there cannot simply be cut down. The council generally needs written notice, and sometimes consent, before work begins. Some individual trees elsewhere in the area may also have a preservation order, so it is wise to confirm the position before you book any felling at all. Checking early saves delays later.
We help you find out what applies to your tree and what to tell the council. A dead or dangerous tree has different rules from a healthy one, and we will explain which applies. It is slower than reaching for a saw, but it keeps you on the right side of the law and avoids the risk of a fine. We can also help you word the notice.
Kings Norton has a mix of older properties and inter-war houses, and many of the gardens hold mature trees that have been there longer than the current owners. Some are healthy and worth keeping. Others have decayed at the base, split at a fork or started to lean, and those are the ones we advise taking down before they cause damage. We will tell you which is which.
Where a tree is close to a house, outbuilding or wall, we take it down in sections, lowering each piece on ropes so nothing is dropped on the roof or patio. For trees with room around them, a more direct approach can work. We choose the method that suits your garden, never the one that is simply quickest. A tree beside a boundary wall gets the same care.
Gardens close to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal can have damp ground and awkward access, so we plan where timber will be stacked and carried. After felling, we log the wood and remove the brash, and the stump can be left low or ground out by arrangement. Beyond Kings Norton we also cover Cotteridge and Bournville, if you are nearby and would like someone to look at a tree.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

If the tree is in the village conservation area or has a preservation order, yes. You normally need to give notice or get consent first. We can help you check your tree's status so you do not cut before the council has been told.
Warning signs include fungus at the base, hollow or cracked trunks, dead limbs and a sudden lean. We inspect the tree in person and tell you honestly if it can be kept with some pruning or whether it should come down.
Yes, with care. We plan where the timber is lowered so nothing goes over the boundary, and we use ropes to control each section. We check ownership of the boundary and access before we start, and agree it with you.
