We offer a full suite of arboricultural services to suit the needs of residential, rural, and commercial clients:
Safe dismantling and removal of hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees. We use advanced rigging techniques for trees near structures, roads, or utilities.
Seasonal pruning carried out during autumn and winter to avoid disease and promote healthy growth. Services include crown thinning, reduction, and lifting.
Fast-response service for dangerous trees, fallen limbs, or storm damage. Available throughout Inverness and neighbouring towns.
Detailed tree assessments for safety, planning, or insurance. We also check for nesting birds or bats and pause work if protected wildlife is present.
Selective pruning to reduce height, spread, or crown density. Improves tree structure, light levels, and safety while maintaining health.
Professional hedge maintenance carried out to British Standards. We ensure compliance with seasonal laws and offer one-off or routine hedge cutting for homes and estates.
Efficient removal of stumps to allow for replanting or landscaping. We grind below ground level and manage site cleanup as standard.
Expert planting of native and ornamental species, with soil and site assessments. We help plan for biodiversity, privacy, and long-term success.
We chip branches and clear green waste on-site or off-site. All waste is handled in compliance with Scottish regulations, and wood chips can be left for mulch or removed.
We don’t just serve Inverness, we understand its landscape. From properties near Inverness Castle to conservation areas by the Ness Islands, our work is tailored to local conditions, regulations, and environments.
We’re experienced in providing tree reports, wildlife checks, and safe removals throughout Inverness, always with full legal compliance and local insight.
We’ve completed both residential and commercial tree work throughout Inverness. A recent example includes a clearance job for NGT Projects at Bookers Cash & Carry, where we reduced overgrown pine and elder trees to allow for exterior maintenance. The work involved full certification, risk assessments, and safe dismantling methods.
