Expert Tree Solutions for Your Landscaping Projects
Picking the right trees makes all the difference in landscape designs. We'll help you choose species that not only look great but will actually grow well in your specific soil and space. We recommend statement trees, screening solutions, and everything in between based on what your clients need.
Our team considers factors like ultimate height, soil pH requirements, drainage needs, and light conditions when recommending trees. We plant trees properly too - correct depth, sturdy staking where needed, and proper initial watering regimes. We'll also advise on mulching, fertilising and establishment care to pass on to your clients.
Handling Mature Trees in Gardens
Taking on established gardens usually means dealing with older trees that need specialist attention. We'll check existing trees for health issues and spot any that might cause problems or need work to bring them back to their best.
Our arborists conduct detailed tree safety surveys, identifying deadwood, weak unions, decay pockets and other issues invisible to the untrained eye. We use techniques like resistograph testing when necessary to assess internal wood condition. We can help develop multi-year management plans for mature specimens, sequencing work appropriately to minimise stress while gradually improving form and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trees work well in small gardens?
We can suggest several smaller varieties specifically bred for compact spaces. We look at ultimate height, spread, root behavior, and seasonal interest to find trees that make a statement without outgrowing their spot. We'll also point you toward varieties that won't bully nearby plants for water and nutrients.
When should we plant new trees?
Container-grown trees can technically go in almost anytime, but autumn planting gives the best results for most deciduous trees. This gives roots time to settle before summer heat arrives. We can advise on the ideal planting window to fit your project timeline.
Can you fix problem trees in existing gardens?
Yes. If you're dealing with trees causing too much shade, dropping messy fruit, or growing into structures, we'll assess and suggest practical solutions. Sometimes strategic pruning does the trick; other times removing and replacing with a better-suited tree makes more sense.
Do you offer maintenance we can include in our service?
Yes, we partner with many landscape companies, handling the specialist tree care while they focus on other garden elements. We can set up regular care schedules for trees in gardens you maintain, helping you offer a complete service to your clients.
