Tree surgery: pruning, reduction, felling and stump removal
We prune, reduce, fell and remove trees in gardens and on business sites across South and West Wales, and clear the wood and branches afterwards.
Signs a tree needs work
- Branches are touching the roof or gutters, or hanging over a neighbour's garden.
- There are dead branches, or fungus growing at the base of the trunk.
- The tree is leaning further after a storm.
- It shades too much of the garden or a row of solar panels.

What to send for a tree surgery quote
A photo of the whole tree, with the house or fence in shot, shows us its height and what is around it.
Go to the form- How many trees, the species if you know it, and a rough height
- What you want done
- Photos showing each tree and the buildings near it
- Whether the tree has a preservation order or is in a conservation area, if you know
- Whether a van can get close to the tree
Questions about tree surgery
Do I need permission to cut a tree?
A tree with a tree preservation order needs the council's consent before work starts. A tree in a conservation area needs six weeks' notice to the council. Your council's planning team can tell you if either applies.
Can I cut back my neighbour's overhanging branches?
You can usually cut branches back to your boundary, but no further, and the cuttings belong to your neighbour. A tree preservation order still applies to overhanging branches.
