Arboriculture/Tree surgery
We offer a complete range of tree care services—from careful pruning and crown management to full tree removal and new planting. All Colwood Land Care staff are fully trained, qualified, and insured arborists who take great pride in the quality of their work.
All tree work carried out by Colwood Land Care follows BS3998:2010 – Recommendations for Tree Work, ensuring every job meets the highest industry standards.
If your trees are located within a Conservation Area or are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), consent from the local planning authority must be obtained before any work can commence. We can manage this entire process on your behalf and secure the necessary permissions.
We provide a full range of arboricultural services for both domestic and commercial clients. Every project is completed to the highest standard by our team of qualified tree surgeons.
Why Proper Pruning Matters
-
Correctly pruned trees live longer and develop a healthier, more natural structure.
-
Professional tree pruning reduces the risk of damage during storms or high winds.
-
Removing dead, diseased, or unsafe branches improves overall tree health and safety.
-
Thoughtful crown management increases light penetration and reduces shading.
While many species can be maintained year-round, certain trees benefit from pruning at specific times of year. We can advise you on the best approach to ensure the ongoing health and vitality of your trees.

Stump Grinding.
We proudly serve both commercial and residential clients, offering expert stump removal for projects of all sizes—from single small stumps to multiple large ones.
Leftover stumps from previous tree work can be unsightly, obstruct future landscaping plans, and even pose safety hazards. If you need a stump removed, simply contact us for a competitive, no-obligation quote. Additionally, if you have recently had a tree dismantled by us, we’re happy to provide seamless stump grinding as part of the service.
Our Equipment – Tailored to Every Job
To ensure efficient and effective stump removal regardless of size or location, we use two specialized machines:
-
Predator 28 – A narrow-access grinder just 670mm wide, perfect for fitting through tight gateways and confined spaces.
-
Carlton 7050trx – Our powerful large-capacity machine, designed for continuous heavy-duty grinding of large stumps.
Eco-Friendly By-Product
The wood chips generated from stump grinding can be left on-site as nutrient-rich mulch, helping to improve soil health, or removed entirely if preferred.
