Long Term Tree Care.

Annual and multi year care for heritage gardens, estates, schools and commercial sites. Scheduled visits, pollarding cycles, full paperwork.

Who it suits

Long term tree care.

Heritage gardens. Veteran oaks, mature beeches, gardens that have been in the same family for generations.

Estates and large properties. Multiple mature trees, planned cycles, single point of contact.

Commercial sites. Schools, churches, parish councils, letting agents. Annual inspections, RAMS on request.

Insurance conscious owners. Annual documented inspections protect you if a tree fails. Insurers like to see active management.

The plan

What a maintenance plan includes.

One agreement, one contact, and your trees handled for the year. This is what every plan comes with.

Scheduled visits

One to four visits a year depending on the garden, booked in advance so you never have to chase us.

A written record

After every visit you get a short note of what was done and anything we spotted for next time.

Priority emergency response

Plan customers jump the queue when a storm comes through. Your trees, our problem.

Fixed annual pricing

Agreed once, honoured all year. No surprises if a job takes longer than expected.

One point of contact

You deal with the same person every time, who knows your garden and its history.

A watching brief

We track slow changes year on year, which is how problems get caught while they are still cheap.

Common questions

Maintenance plans, answered.

Who are plans actually for?

Anyone with trees they would rather not think about. Family gardens with a few big trees, estates, schools, churchyards, holiday lets and landlords with multiple properties. If trees are your responsibility, a plan turns them into ours.

What does a plan cost?

It depends entirely on the garden, which is why the first step is always a free visit. What we can promise is that planned work costs less than reactive work, because we are never arriving to a crisis.

Am I tied into a contract?

No. Plans run year to year and you can step off at any renewal. People stay because it works, not because the paperwork makes them.

Can a plan include hedges and the wider garden?

Yes. Most of our plans cover hedges, screens and boundary lines as well as the trees themselves. If it grows and needs a saw or a trimmer, it can go in the plan.

Before and after

A hedge, found again.

An overgrown laurel taken back to a clean line in one visit. The garden got its light back the same day.
