Services
Tree Pruning
Our expert pruning services enhance tree health and structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Using industry-standard techniques, we remove deadwood, thin canopies, and shape trees to reduce wind resistance. This specialist work requires climbing expertise and specialist equipment to ensure both safety and optimal tree development.
Stump Removal
We eliminate unsightly stumps through mechanical grinding or physical extraction methods. Our equipment handles varying sizes while minimising ground disturbance. This essential service prevents fungal infections spreading to adjacent plants and allows for effective land use restoration across residential and commercial properties.
Emergency Tree Care
Available 24/7 for urgent situations, our rapid response teams handle storm-damaged trees and hazardous branch removal. We prioritise safety through immediate risk assessment followed by controlled dismantling procedures. This critical service includes securing unstable trees and clearing dangerous debris from properties.
Tree Surveys
Our comprehensive surveys identify potential risks through detailed tree health evaluations. Qualified arborists conduct BS 3998:2010 compliant inspections covering structural integrity, disease presence, and environmental factors. These reports are essential for property management planning and TPO-related work proposals.
Commercial Services
We provide tailored tree management solutions for businesses and local authorities. Our services include large-scale site clearance, maintenance contracts, and ecological surveys. With specialist equipment and experienced teams, we handle complex projects from initial assessment through to completion while maintaining strict health and safety protocols.

We had just got in from travelling in the evening to find our fallen
neighbours tree closing the entrance to our home. On the off-chance, we
tried some tree surgeon numbers and struck lucky. They moved the tree
for a fair price. 5 Stars.

Excellent Work! Arborist Direct Glasgow is a truly professional company, they respond instantly and take any job (other local tree surgeons I reached out to only wanted to take on big jobs).

Our old tree surgeon retired. Arborist Direct Glasgow and Fraser were recommended by friends. They did a good job tree pruning for us.
