Services
Tree pruning
Our tree pruning service enhances tree health and structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Using industry-approved techniques, we remove dead or hazardous branches to promote healthy growth patterns. Clients benefit from reduced risk of branch failure and improved tree longevity, particularly valuable for mature specimens in residential and commercial settings.
Tree felling
We specialise in safe, controlled tree felling operations for hazardous or unwanted trees. Our qualified arborists use precision techniques to dismantle trees in confined spaces, minimising damage to surrounding property. This service includes comprehensive site clearance and stump management options to complete the process efficiently.
Stump grinding
Our stump grinding service eliminates unsightly tree stumps using specialist machinery that reduces them to mulch. This thorough process removes root systems below ground level, preventing regrowth and enabling future landscaping. Clients receive a clean, level finish suitable for replanting or development.
Hedge trimming
We provide professional hedge trimming to maintain neat boundaries and promote healthy growth. Using sharp, well-maintained equipment, our team shapes hedges to client specifications while preserving plant health. Regular maintenance services help property owners maintain kerb appeal and comply with local council regulations.
Landscape maintenance
Our comprehensive landscape maintenance service includes seasonal tree and shrub care, pruning, and vegetation management. We help clients maintain safe, attractive outdoor spaces through scheduled visits that address ongoing tree health and growth patterns. This service supports long-term property value and environmental sustainability.

Report
Arbourtech were extremely professional, exceptionally safety aware, prompt and excellently priced - they undertook extensive work on several very large trees 9 years ago and have executed emergency work 3 weeks ago with the exact same attitude. Very impressive.

Report
We have used Arbortech PTS both on our own trees and recommended their services to our customers. We have found Andrew and his team to be immensely knowledgeable, punctual, polite and tidy. We recently used Arbortech to remove several awkward trees leaning over our pond. The team removed the trees with no difficulty at all. They left a tidy site and neat pile of logs and wood chip for the garden, as requested. We have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Report
Andrew and his team were able to remove 2 trees from our property efficiently and for a very reasonable price. When Andrew came round to quote for the work he was happy to walk around with me and discuss all the options available, this was very much appreciated as we have only recently moved in. Couldn't recommend ArborTech enough

Report
We employed Arbortech to take down a tree in a tricky position in relation to a building. Given the job they did we asked them to come back and take up the branches of many trees in our fields. Everyone was brilliant and polite and the areas on both jobs were tidied up beautifully. Would highly recommend.
