Solihull is known for leafy roads, large detached houses and some very big trees. When one of those trees has to come down, because it is dying, dangerous or simply in the wrong place, the job needs care and the right paperwork. We handle the felling and leave the garden clear afterwards.
A visit comes first, so we can see the tree and its surroundings. We then explain the method, the timber arrangements and whether a conservation area or preservation order is likely to apply. You get a clear plan before any work is agreed.
Parts of Solihull are conservation areas, and many individual trees have preservation orders. If yours does, felling it without the council's consent can be an offence and lead to a heavy fine. This is the first thing we raise with Solihull homeowners, because it affects whether the work can go ahead and when. Planning ahead saves a lot of frustration and avoids any awkward conversations with the council later.
We can tell you what is likely to apply and help you put together what the council needs, such as the reason for felling and which tree you mean. Dead and dangerous trees follow separate rules, but they still need handling properly. We never fell a protected tree until you have confirmation in hand. You keep the paperwork for your own records.
Large detached homes on generous plots usually mean mature trees and tall hedges, some of which have been left to grow for a long time. A tree like that can be huge, with a heavy crown that needs to be taken apart carefully. We climb it, rope each section and lower it down, whatever the size of the garden. Solihull plots often allow good access for timber.
Tall boundary hedges and mature screens sometimes hide the trees from view, so problems go unnoticed until a limb falls. If you have worries about what lies behind a hedge, we can look at it as part of the visit. In Solihull, tree work often involves neighbours close by, so we keep them in mind. Everything is planned before the first cut.
After felling, we log the timber for you or take it away with the branches and green waste. Stumps can be left low or ground out by arrangement. Besides Solihull itself we cover Knowle and Olton, so if you live near the edge of town and have a tree that needs to come down, we can arrange a visit.
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.

Ask the council's tree or planning team, giving your address and a description of the tree. It can also be checked if your property is in a conservation area. We can help you work out who to contact.
You could face a large fine, and be told to plant a replacement. That is why we ask about protection first and only go ahead once the council has confirmed what applies to your tree. Asking first avoids that.
Yes. We climb the tree and lower it in roped sections, protecting fences, glass and borders as we go. Where it overhangs next door, we plan the work carefully and suggest you let the neighbours know in advance, so nobody is surprised.
