Oldbury gardens are a mixed bunch, and so are the trees in them. Some have a fine old specimen shading the lawn, others have a self-seeded sycamore that has taken over a corner. Whatever the tree, if it needs to come down we can fell it safely and leave the garden clear when we go.
A visit comes first. We look at the tree, the house and the fence line, and talk through the sensible options. If felling is the answer you will know how we plan to do it, what happens to the timber and whether the council needs to be involved.
Across Oldbury you find terraces, inter-war semis and later estates, and the gardens range from compact to quite roomy. A tree that was a modest sapling can end up pressing on a wall, lifting a path or dropping leaves into every gutter. Once roots and branches start to interfere with the house, taking the tree out is usually the cleanest solution. It is better done before damage starts.
Self-seeded trees such as sycamore can appear in neglected corners and grow fast. Early on, they are easy to remove. Left for a few seasons, they become sturdy trunks that need proper felling. We deal with both, from the half-hidden tree at the bottom of the garden to the one beside the back door. Neither is a problem for us, and we treat both with the same care.
Compact Oldbury plots leave very little room for anything to fall, so we seldom fell a tree in one go. Instead we climb and take it down in sections, using ropes to lower each piece slowly to the ground. This protects fences, sheds, parked cars and the neighbours' gardens, all of which tend to be close by in a terraced street. That keeps the work calm.
Access is often tight too, with no side path or a narrow alley behind the house. We plan how the timber will be carried out before we begin. Near green spaces such as Warley Woods, we also check whether any protected trees are involved, because the council can restrict work on some trees even in ordinary gardens. Nothing is left to chance.
When the tree is down, the timber is cut into logs for you to keep or removed along with the branches and leaves. The stump can be cut low or ground out by arrangement if you want to use the space. If you live closer to Smethwick or Langley than Oldbury itself, we cover those areas as well.
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.

Yes. We climb the tree and lower it in small sections on ropes, so fences, sheds and neighbouring gardens are not hit. We look at the garden and access first, then explain how the tree will come down and be removed.
A young self-seeded tree is often simple to remove, but once the trunk is thick and roots have spread, it needs proper felling. We can look at its size and position and tell you what the job involves.
We can leave the stump low or grind it out by arrangement, which removes most of the main root crown. Smaller roots can stay in the ground and rot away. Tell us what you plan to put there and we will advise.
