Tree disputes are one of the most common issues we see.

Branches overhanging. Leaves everywhere. Light being blocked. Gutters filling up.

And the question always comes up: “Can I just cut it back?”

The answer is yes, but only if you do it properly.

Here’s a clear, no-nonsense guide to where you stand legally.

Over the past 12 months, we have been steadily expanding our presence across the South, and we are pleased to share another positive step forward in that journey.

Modern Tree Removal: Using Mechanised Solutions to Work Safer, Smarter and More Sustainably

Tree removal has changed significantly over the last decade. While traditional climbing and sectional dismantling still have their place, modern projects increasingly demand greater control, improved safety and reduced environmental impact. That’s where mechanised solutions come into their own.

It’s one of the most common questions homeowners ask and one of the easiest to get wrong. Cutting down a tree without the correct permission can lead to fines, enforcement action and an order to replant.

The answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the tree, its location and its condition.

Below is a clear guide to help you understand when permission is required and when it is not.
