Tree Lopping
Tree pruning services in Aberdeenshire & Moray
Tree Pruning Services
As professional tree surgeons, we sometimes have to perform tree lopping operations on local trees. It’s not normally our preferred option when a tree becomes too big or unruly in terms of its growth but sometimes it is the only practical solution.
If you have a tree that needs to be lopped to bring it under control as quickly as possible (or indeed a number of trees), please do not hesitate to call or message us now.
One of our experts will be delighted to answer any questions you may have and to recommend the most suitable course of action for you to pursue.
Tree Pruning Aberdeenshire
There are a number of occasions when our lopping services may be appropriate, including but not limited to the following:
- Tree Represents a Danger to Property – When a tree’s growth causes it to become a danger to a nearby building or any other type of manmade structure, lopping is an acceptable solution and, in many cases, the only sensible one. If you have a tree that you think may pose a danger to your property, please feel free to call and ask for immediate assistance. We can inspect the tree in question and recommend a suitable course of action if you desire.
- Tree Represents a Danger to People in the Vicinity – Tree lopping is a procedure that we will recommend without hesitation in cases where there is a clear danger to people in the vicinity of a particular specimen. If you have reason to believe that a tree on your land could harm somebody, we urge you to contact us, or another arboricultural specialist, at the earliest possible opportunity.
- No Other Practical Alternative – In some cases, there may be a tree that outgrows its current space but it is in a location that makes conventional pruning very difficult, or perhaps even impossible. In such cases, lopping may be the only practical solution. If you think this may be a possible solution for a tree that is in your care, please don’t hesitate to call or message us.
If any of these reasons apply to a tree in North East Scotland that is under your care, please feel free to get in touch with us to discuss our tree lopping services in more detail. A member of our team will be happy to tell you everything you need to know and to arrange a site visit if desired.
EXCELLENT Based on 93 reviews Posted on Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google Diane WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend.Posted on Google Dan CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work, done safely, quickly and tidily. Will use again.Posted on Google 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 Google John KingstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
