Tree Removal Nottingham | Willow Removal and Birch Pruning, Leicester
After years of re-pollarding this old Willow tree had finally succumbed to old age and decay. Part of the tree had already collapsed in high winds last year.

Willow trees are a very vigorous species of tree and ...

Ash Tree Removal, Keyworth, Notts | Leaf Tree Services
This Ash tree was in an awkward position. It covered three gardens, two sheds and all manner of fragile shrubs and garden ornaments. To make things just that little more challenging the tree had no central stem so it was a technical climb. All went well, another happy customer! Great to have summer back again too!

Nottingham Tree Surgeons | Acacia Removal, The Park Estate, Nottingham
This False Acacia was covered by a Tree Preservation Order but due to the root system causing structural damage to the retaining wall, the Council had consented to its removal.
