Tree Pruning Services
You may find that tree pruning is required to ensure your trees size or shape is maintained and overall look is tidy. At Epic Tree Care we have significant experience with a vast variety of trees. Both big and small, deciduous and evergreen. So if you are looking to maintain them in their best health, you can trust our tree surgeons in Aberdeenshire and Moray to so safely, efficiently and with attention to aesthetics and your end goal.
We will check whether your tree is protected by a Conservation Area or has a TPO, letting you know if there are any limiting factors to any works. Occasionally there will be tree protection orders, which will limit the pruning and require additional paperwork. This is not a problem, just something to bear in mind when planning.
We are, as should all professionals, fully insured against any eventuality. Epic Tree Care holds Public Liability Insurance to £10 million, as well as employee liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance. All staff are fully qualified and experienced. Copies of NPTC City and Guilds Certificates, and Insurance Documentation available here, as is our Waste Carriers licence.
The main part we like to focus on however is not the technical aspects, such as which pruning techniques we can use. Our expert team will engage with you directly, spending time understanding what you really want and why. Because often, our advice will change drastically depending on what your final goal is. At Epic Tree Care we provide tree advice in Aberdeenshire and Moray as part of our inspection service.
