The tree you’ve
been avoiding

We’re John and James. We take down the ones nobody else fancies — 80ft conifers, trees sitting on the phone lines, whatever the storm left — and then we put your garden back.

Send a photo of the tree or the garden and we’ll come back with a price. Free quote, no obligation.

Three things we get called for

Usually one leads to the other. The tree comes out, then the garden it was standing in needs sorting.

A very tall spruce towering over a back garden before removal

Tree surgery

Felling, reductions, crown thinning, hedge work, stumps out. Rigged down in sections when there’s a shed or a fence underneath.

A finished garden at dusk with new turf, slabs and a fence

Landscaping

Turf and artificial grass, slabbing, patios, paths and driveways, fencing and gates. Dug out and built up properly underneath.

A large striped lawn after its first cut of the year

Garden maintenance

Grass, hedges, weeds, clearances. Every two weeks or every four, or once to get it back under control.

What it looks like after

The before is the reason people phone. The after is the bit they were hoping for.

The same garden after the birch was felled, the field and sky now visible After

Large birch, roots at the fence and the garage. Down and away in under three hours, and the customer got their view back.

A back garden dug out to bare soil with a wheelbarrow standing in it Before
The same garden finished with laid turf, a slabbed area and sleeper beds After

Same garden, one day. We worked into the dark to get it finished — dug out, turfed, slabbed, sleeper beds filled and ready to plant.

Who you’re getting

The JJ Tree Surgeons dark green vehicle with the tree mark and phone number on the door

John Mullaney and James Doyle. Two directors, each with over ten years at it, and a team that turns up when we said we would.

We’ve worked for and been sub-contracted to housing associations, councils and various other companies, and we do a lot of work for letting agents and factors. Most of what we do, though, is somebody’s back garden.

Fully NPTC qualified and fully insured. You pay when the job’s done, not before.

Going back to 2021. Here are three of them, word for word.

“Exceptional, punctual and professional is the best way to describe these guys! They removed two 80ft+ evergreen trees from my back garden as they were becoming a nuisance and blocking sunlight.”
