Working for countryside estates, commercial clients and domestic customers, we perform a wide variety of tree surgery and woodland management services through the South West of England.

Planting - A step in the right direction

This year NB tree services will plant at least one tree per day worked. Spending a lot of time working in woods, we are more aware than most of the importance of quality woodland management plans- which thankfully have to be present to obtain permission for felling operations.

Our planting scheme can only be a step in the right direction as we aim to significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

NB have looked after all our trees for over ten years now. They always do a great job, are very professional and reliable, and a pleasure to have around.

NB were prompt, helpful and carried out the work exactly as we wished. Ned offered appropriate and friendly advice and his team carried out the work professionally and neatly.

Michael, Clutton

NB pitched into what seemed to me to be a daunting job involving the felling of several large trees with great energy and enthusiasm. Ned was also happy to take on a few other smaller jobs within the couple of days that we had agreed to in advance. We now have lots of neatly arranged logs and a much sunnier spot. Highly recommended.

NED SAYS:

Straightforward and well-grounded advice

As a student I was proud to receive an award from Cannington Agricultural and Horticultural College for being their top practical student. After graduation I was lucky enough to work for some well known, established tree care firms. These were mainly in the South West of England but I also worked for a year in Sydney, Australia. I have clocked up thousands of hours experience, often dealing with some of the larger more technical tree surgery / dismantling / felling work around. My skills and services have also expanded over the years to include carpentry and woodland management.

I like to offer straightforward well grounded advice that comes from a ‘hands on’ career in tree care, coupled with an in-depth understanding of tree biology. I hope this website gives you all the information that you need and hope that we can help you with your tree care needs.
