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.

I 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.

I 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!

This 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!

Epic 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.

Carefully 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.

We operate with £5 million Public Liability Insurance and £10 million Employers Liability Insurance.
