Tree Felling Services in Aberdeenshire & Moray
Felling trees in a woodland or forest presents particular challenges. Trees can become hung up in neighbouring trees. While trees on the edge of the woodland are often leaning away from where you want to fell them. Once trees are felled, they will need to be cut and moved to timber stacks for collection.
Epic Tree Care has experienced tree surgeons who are skilled in felling trees in woodlands and forests in Moray, Banffshire and Aberdeenshire. We can provide timber harvesting for small woodlands in northeast Scotland. With tractor-mounted forwarders and other machinery to extract timber from small woodland sites. Or on larger forestry sites we can work alongside machine harvesters to fell and process large and difficult trees.
For felling trees in gardens and built-up areas, please visit the tree surgeon section of our website. There you will find information on our tree surgery services across Moray, Banffshire, Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city.

The majority of our customers share the same goal: to work with a team of arboricultural specialists that is capable of providing them with a turnkey tree felling service. This is the primary reason that they have all ended up together, as happy clients of Epic Tree Care. We provide a full range of all-inclusive tree felling services to commercial and public sector clients in Northeast Scotland, including everything from helping with felling applications, to future replanting plans. Among the specific areas in which we will be delighted to provide you with our professional assistance, those listed below are most commonly requested by our existing customers.
- Assistance with Applications for Felling Licences – With the penalty for unlicensed felling as much as £5,000 per tree, you do not want to make a mistake when it comes to the paperwork that will need to be completed before felling commences. Let our team provide you with full support throughout the application process and you can avoid making any costly errors.
- Help with Felling Operation Calculations – To ensure that the whole operation goes smoothly from start to finish, we can help you to make all the necessary calculations, such as the estimated volume of timber that is expected from the project. With our specialists to back you, it will be much easier to complete the whole operation in a timely and efficient manner.
- Mapping of Area Where Felling Is to Take Place – Once the areas of felling have been identified, we can create a map of your land detailing felling areas, as part of the tree felling services that we offer. Our detailed maps provide a clear picture of where tree felling operations should take place, helping you to obtain the necessary licenses and plan your site efficiently.
- Felling Completed by Experienced Professionals – The felling itself will, of course, be completed by fully qualified and insured tree surgeons with many years of experience. All work will be carried out in accordance with recommended industry practices and relevant government regulations. As highly skilled arboricultural professionals, we are capable of tackling large and complex felling operations with impressive levels of speed and efficiency.
- Replanting Assistance – In the majority of cases, replanting is the preferred option after a tree felling operation has been completed. We can help you to choose the right type of trees if you wish to replant and we can even help you to manage your new plantation as well if desired. Many landowners use this time as an opportunity to introduce more appropriate species of trees if there were any issues with the original specimens.
Whether you need a little help with a small operation or you would like us to manage a large-scale tree felling project on your behalf, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can call or email with details of your requirements at any time.
Testimonials
Trevor Bower2024-06-24I needed to thin an overcrowded small copse at the bottom of my garden. I am so glad I chose Epic Tree Care, as right from the beginning with the visit from Elaine to advise what the best solution would be, to the work being carried out by Jason and his team everything was excellent. The friendly men on site worked professionally and efficiently and with care to avoid any unnecessary damage to remaining trees and fences. They left the site clean and tidy, overall a pleasant experience. I would strongly recommend this company.Gale Solomon2024-06-13Great service with good tidy up, helpful and friendlyRosemary Carroll2024-06-04I recently bought a new home that had very tall, very unkempt hedges and a few rotten and self-seeded trees. Clive and Elaine's team were amazing from start to finish. Elaine came out to assess the job first and I told her my budget. She worked with it to get the maximum amount of work from it, and gave a timescale for the job to be completed by. The team appeared on time at the job and were polite, happy and very informative. They went over the job list to make sure I was happy. Then they got to work. Everything was done to an incredibly high standard. The equipment itself was very impressive. The professionalism of the team was really lovely to see. They even paused at regular intervals to tidy up around them! After they were finished, apart from a couple of pieces of twig that the wind caught, there was no evidence of them having been there! Three trees, one huge laurel type hedge cut back and a whopper of an evergreen hedge completely removed, roots and all, and all done in one day... An absolutely brilliant team. I won't need you again probably, but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to call, and I'll happily recommend you all day long. A trusted and reliable team and a truly epic service, thank you guys!Debra Whelband2024-05-23This company is to be commended! They have all the necessary equipment to make the project as seamless as possible, not to mention the safety gear provided to the staff. Jason was calm, polite and very approachable. Nothing was a problem. They removed a mature Sycamore in poor condition to a habitat stump for the birds and a Crown raise and sympathetic thin of mature Elm tree, which now looks amazing. I enquired about keeping the chippings from this tree and Jason advised to keep it if I had a place to spread it as hard wood timber makes great mulch. Be aware you need to leave it for 12 months if you want to used it around flowers/plants etc. They worked seamlessly and left the place immaculate. Considering the amount of shrubbery this was no mean feat. The costing was very reasonable and to my mind money well spent. Your business model is great!Lisa Rose2024-05-08Very efficient and professional service,excellent communication and friendly staff. Would highly recommend Epic Tree care.Alistair Law2024-05-01excellent advice delivered by a very nice and pleasant and knowledgeable young girlJulia Wright2024-04-02Epic Tree Care have pollarded our big sycamore. They have done an excellent job, very quick and so careful of the surroundings that nothing in the garden was damaged despite the tree being surrounded by borders, sheds and garages. Thank you, guys and thank you, Elaine for the excellent customer service, it has been a good experience from the beginning to the end.Lee Halsall2024-03-20Efficient , professional and affordable . They have the right equipment to carry out any felling and trimming leaving hardly a trace that they’ve been .A Webster2024-02-22Big thanks to Epic Tree Care for their exceptional service in removing a tree and stump from my garden. Their professionalism, efficiency, and tidy work were top-notch. Highly recommend their skilled team for anyone in need of tree services!Rhona Watson2023-11-05Carefully assessed the work to be done and promptly quoted. Agreed dates for the work to be done and came when they said. Carried out the work exactly as agreed. Team was organised and hard working. Tidied up well once the work was completed. I was particularly impressed with the stump removal and the care taken to make sure I was happy with the finished shape of the trimmed trees. Cost seemed high until I saw how many workers were in the team, what work was actually involved, how much wood had to be disposed of and the amount of equipment involved. I was completely satisfied with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
