Professional tree surgery is essential for maintaining healthy, safe and attractive trees, involving expert pruning, maintenance and care to protect both your property and the surrounding environment.

Advice on protected nesting birds and tree work in the UK

In the UK, nesting birds are legally protected, and any tree or vegetation work must be carefully planned around nesting season to avoid disturbance or legal penalties.

Protecting your trees from storm damage

Protecting your trees from storm damage involves proper planting, regular maintenance, pruning and inspections to reduce risk during high winds and winter storms in the UK.

How do trees survive winter?

Trees survive winter through a process called dormancy, where deciduous trees lose their leaves and evergreens use protective adaptations to conserve energy and withstand cold temperatures.

The Benefits of Regular Tree Pruning

Regular tree pruning improves tree health, enhances safety, supports better growth and fruit production, and helps maintain strong, attractive and well-structured trees throughout the year.

When is the best time of year to have work done on my trees?

The best time of year for tree work is typically late autumn through winter when trees are dormant, with exceptions depending on species, safety needs and nesting bird restrictions.

I highly recommend S P Landscapes - they came out to prune & shape 3 trees at the front of my property and reduce the height of a yew tree in the back garden. Their work was excellent and both guys were very knowledgeable and friendly. They worked safely and the area was left clean and tidy and all trimmings removed. I will definitely have them back again in the winter for more work. Many thanks, L Winstanley

Very Good. Guys who did my work of revamping front garden, jet washed & re grouted back patio were excellent pleasure to have them work for me.

S P Landscapes did a marvellous job of reducing the height and density of several trees and bushes on our property. The operatives arrived and finished on time and tidied up well. I am very pleased with their performance and price and would use them again.

We have used S P Landscapes and Trees before and again we’re delighted with their work. They are extremely efficient and professional. They were working on an awkward side road and made sure they kept the byway open and kept disruption to a minimum. Their employees are appropriately qualified and health and safety is a high priority. I would definitely use them again.

This was the 2nd time I have used this company and, as with the first time, they have done an excellent job at a reasonable price. I needed two hedges reduced in height, and on the hottest day of the year, two young men arrived, with all the gear and worked solidly for 3 hours. They were both polite and very professional, clearly knew their job and cleared away everything before leaving. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and will definitely use again in the future.

All of our concerns regarding safety and damage to buildings and astro turf were more that adequately addressed . I cannot praise this company enough . From start to finish , they were very efficient , very professional and very custoner focused . Great job guys .

I hired SP Landscapes to 'crown reduce' one ash tree and pollard another suffering from ash dieback. This was a potentially tricky job and a large cherry picker was needed to safely access the trees. Also it was important that no heavy pieces or debris fell onto the garden office or into the next door property.
The work was carried out with great professionalism, skill and courtesy throughout the two days. The three chaps were unfailingly polite and explained everything clearly. They left the site very clean and tidy.
I wholeheartedly recommend SP Landscapes. You will pay a bit more but the peace of mind that comes from hiring a team that really know what they are doing is worth every penny.
