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 80 reviews Ed Stuart2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, professional and efficient from the start. A major problem for me was dealt with quickly and is now over. Lauriel Simpson2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a tall tree root lifted during the storm but not enough to topple it. Precarious and too awkward for us to deal with so called in Epic Tree Care. They responded quickly, were professional and communicative throughout and took great care of our property whilst safely felling the tree. Left it all neat and tidy. Cannot fault the service and friendliness. Would and will be recommending. Mizan Rahman2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
