 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely excellent, from start to finish! The quote was to remove 2 tall stumps and to grind the roots. The preferred method was to use WhatsApp (On a Saturday) by sending a photo. We agreed a price, and a date for work to commence (the following Monday at 8am). The workmen were on time, very polite, wore all the PPE required, even put up hoardings around the site when using machinery. Job done by 9am, all cleaned up and equipment removed. The site was left in an excellent state, would never have known there was a tree there. Photo's included show the work site before and after. I have decided that all our future arborist work will be directed their way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the tree survey supplied by Crown Tree Surgeons. We had been asked to produce a tree survey by our local authority as we currently have a planning application to build a flat roof extension. David  talked  us through the process, gave us his time when we met in person explaining what the report contains and how it is used by the planning department. Overall I am very happy with the no fuss approach and would recommend Crown Tree Surgeons to anyone looking for a tree survey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used Crown Tree Surgeons to undertake a tree survey of our sycamore tree as it was a requirement by our local planning authority before we can build an extension on the back of our house.
This was all new to us as we had no idea that a report was necessary. David explained the whole process and how a BS5837 report would be needed and compiled and then used as part of our planning application process.
Both myself and my husband were very grateful, we would recommend to anyone also looking for a tree report.

The team gave their time to come and help Demelza Hospice Care for Children with their 2023 Tree-Cycle Event. Around 300 trees were chipped on site and we couldn't be more grateful for their support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super pleased!

We have never used a tree surgeon before and didn't really know where to start.
I made contact with Crown Tree Surgeons a couple of months ago, a young pleasant guy turned up to quote he explained that the tree was protected and that planning permission was needed.
There price was not the cheapest but we still decided to go with them as i wanted to be sure that my neighbours garden was protected as he kindly agreed to remove the waste from the tree through his garden.

So i left for work early morning and didn't return until late, i woke up this morning to see the result and i am so pleased, the trees look amazing, we  finally have light  in our garden and our neighbour is also very pleased!

thank you

What is the difference between tree stump grinding and full tree stump removal

The difference between tree stump grinding and full tree stump removal lies in how much of the stump and root system is eliminated. Stump grinding involves using specialised machinery to grind the stump down below ground level, leaving the roots to decay naturally. It’s faster, less invasive, and ideal for gardens or lawns.

In contrast, full stump removal involves extracting the entire stump along with major roots. This method is more labour-intensive but necessary when preparing land for construction or replanting trees.

At Crown Tree Surgeons, we offer both options, depending on your specific needs and the condition of the site.

What preparations should I make before you complete a tree stump removal

Before we carry out a tree stump removal, a few preparations help ensure the process runs smoothly.

For residential properties, please clear any garden furniture, pots, or obstacles around the stump area to allow machine access.

For commercial sites, ensure clear access and notify any staff or contractors about the scheduled work. If the stump is in a restricted or public area, we may need to coordinate with property managers or local authorities.

At Crown Tree Surgeons, we assess each site in advance and provide guidance to make sure the stump removal is completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

Should I contact the council before removing a whole tree

Yes, you should contact your local council before removing a whole tree, especially if it is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a conservation area. These protections are in place to preserve valuable trees and require formal permission before any work can begin.

Removing a protected tree without consent can lead to significant fines. At Crown Tree Surgeons, we advise all clients to check with their local authority first.

We can also assist with the application process, ensuring that all removals are fully council-approved and comply with relevant regulations for both residential and commercial properties.
