What Is Emergency Tree Work?
If you have never considered what might constitute emergency tree work before, below are some examples of the types of arboricultural issues you may encounter that normally require urgent action:
- Fire – If a tree on your property catches fire, you obviously need to deal with it immediately. In the first instance, you should call the emergency fire services of course. After that, you may need the services of a local tree surgeon, to determine whether the tree in question can be saved and, if it can, what needs to be done.
- Weather Damage – One of the most common reasons we are asked to perform emergency tree work is storm damage. Trees that are severely damaged by high winds can pose a danger to people or property in their immediate vicinity and need to be attended to as quickly as possible.
- Pests or Disease – If you notice a tree on your land that is in distress, either because of a pest infestation or disease, we recommend contacting a local tree surgeon without delay. The sooner your tree receives professional attention, the greater the chances it will make a full recovery.
- Intentional Damage by Vandals – Unfortunately, some trees are affected by vandalism. If this happens to a tree on your property, please don’t hesitate to call us immediately so we can provide you with a professional assessment and plan of action.

EXCELLENT Based on 93 reviews Posted on Elaine RushantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just purchased a property in Cullen and the trees in our garden needed to be pruned back as the garden was very overgrown. We were extremely happy with the job carried out by Epic Tree Care Limited. Elaine provided us with a clear and detailed quote. When the work was carried out the whole team were lovely and were really helpful in passing on their knowledge about the various species in our garden. Jason also fully explained what they'd done and what they hadn't (nesting birds!) so we knew exactly how the job was progressing. A great job done! I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in future.Posted on Lorna AdamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a couple of trees removed by Epic Tree Care. They provided a quote very promptly and turned up to carry out the work at the agreed time. The team were all very helpful and friendly. The trees were cut up and left in a neat pile as we had requested. They removed all the unusable small branches and left the area tidy.Posted on Michael BarronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Epic several times to remove large windblown and damaged trees from our garden and they always do the work very efficiently and expertly at a reasonable cost. Epic also deals with getting consent from Moray Council under the tree preservation order which covers all of the trees in our garden, so we do not need to worry about the paperwork.Posted on Beatrix EtienneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve used Epic Tree Care twice now, and on both occasions they’ve delivered excellent service and great value for money. Their pricing is very competitive compared to others I looked at, and they always carry out a survey and provide a free quote before starting any work. The team arrived on time, got straight to work, and were professional and courteous throughout. They did a great job and left my garden clean and tidy afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be using their services again in the future.Posted on Diane WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend.Posted on Dan CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work, done safely, quickly and tidily. Will use again.Posted on Fraser FergusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Epic Tree Care recently dealt with a 20m-plus poplar that had been blown to a precarious angle in the last storm. It was removed carefully and the surrounding area was tidier after the work than it had been before they arrived. I will certainly be using Epic Tree Care in future and am very happy to recommend them.Posted on John KingstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
