Benefits of Our Tree Inspection Services

If you have never previously considered having the trees on your land inspected or surveyed by a team of professionals, think about the benefits our inspection and survey services have to offer:

The Path to Compliance – Once your trees have been surveyed, we can prepare a detailed report for you to peruse at your leisure. The information contained in the report will depend on the particular service you choose but, in almost all cases, should include our recommended actions in the event any problems are discovered.
Avoiding Unnecessary Hassles and Expense – With regular inspections, you can keep a closer eye on your trees and take preventative action when early warning signs are spotted.

Smoother Planning Application Process – If you are applying for planning permission for a site on which trees are growing, you will almost certainly need a tree planning survey to support your application.
Actionable Information – Whatever your specific situation or requirements, a detailed tree survey from Epic Tree Care will provide you with the information you need to take decisive action.

Elaine Rushant

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.

Lorna Adam

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.

Michael Barron

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.

Beatrix Etienne

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.

Diane Wilson

Great advice, all paperwork done for us. Work was carried out in a timely manner and all debris removed. Highly recommend.

Dan C

Excellent work, done safely, quickly and tidily. Will use again.

Fraser Fergus

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.
