Walsall has plenty of mature garden trees, and the houses around them vary from tight terraces to inter-war semis and larger estate plots. We fell trees that have died, become diseased, started to lean or simply grown too big, and we do it in a way that suits the space you actually have.
If you are not sure whether a tree needs to come down at all, ask. We would rather look at it and give you an honest opinion than take down something that could be managed, and we will explain the options clearly before you decide.
Many of the trees we see in Walsall were planted when they were small and harmless: a silver birch by the patio, a conifer along the boundary or an ash that arrived by itself. A decade or two later they shade the whole garden, scatter debris into gutters and crowd the house. Where pruning will not solve that, felling is a sensible choice. It is a common story here.
We usually take a tree like this down in stages, starting at the top and lowering each section on ropes. That keeps the work controlled even when the tree is close to a fence, an extension or a neighbour's greenhouse. Before we begin, we agree where the timber will go, and which parts of the garden need extra protection while we work. Nothing is rushed, and every cut is planned.
A dead tree does not stay solid for ever. Branches become brittle, the trunk can rot from the inside, and a heavy storm may bring part of it down onto a shed, a fence or a car. Signs to look for include fungus at the base, bark peeling away, no leaves in summer, deep splits or a lean that is getting worse over time. None of these should be ignored for long.
If you see any of those in Walsall, get the tree looked at before the next bout of bad weather. Where there is immediate danger, we treat it as an emergency and make it safe first. For trees you are unsure about, check with the council about any protection, since a preservation order could apply to a mature garden tree. We will tell you plainly what we find and what we recommend.
The finished job should look like a tidy garden, not a building site. We cut the trunk into logs if you want to keep them, and remove branches and green waste. The stump can be left low or ground out by arrangement. We also cover Bloxwich, Aldridge and Pelsall, so if friends nearby have a tree in the way, mention it when you ask about your Walsall job.
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.

Look for no leaves in the growing season, brittle or falling branches, fungus around the base, large splits and a lean that has changed. If you see any of these, keep the area clear and ask us to take a look and advise.
Some are, through a preservation order or conservation area status, though many garden trees are not. Ask the council about your address before we start, and if consent is needed, sort that out first so the work is done properly.
Yes. We plan the route in and out, protect the lawn and borders where we can, and lower timber under control instead of dropping it. Tell us which plants matter to you before we start, and we will work around them and keep the rest of the garden as it was.
