Professional Tree Surgery in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and, as a city built across seven hills between the Firth of Forth and the Pentland Hills, it has a genuinely wide range of settings for tree work — from tenement back greens in the Old Town to the mature gardens of the New Town and Morningside, the wooded slopes of Holyrood Park and Corstorphine Hill, and coastal properties at Cramond and Portobello. The Old and New Towns form a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 4,500 listed buildings, and the city holds 49 separate conservation areas, so a huge amount of tree work here has to account for real heritage constraints. We carry out tree surgery for homes and businesses right across Edinburgh.

Tree Cutting & Felling in Edinburgh

Tree cutting and felling in Edinburgh covers everything from single garden trees in the suburbs to larger specimens in parks, along the Water of Leith and around Holyrood Park and Corstorphine Hill. Given how much of the city sits within conservation areas or has listed buildings nearby, we plan felling direction and access with real care.

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal in Edinburgh

We grind stumps below ground level after a removal anywhere in Edinburgh, from small back greens in tenement properties to larger gardens in the New Town, Morningside or the coastal suburbs, so the ground can be replanted, relaid or turfed.

Hedge Cutting in Edinburgh

We cut and maintain hedges across Edinburgh, from tidy boundary hedges in suburban gardens to larger, more established hedges around villa properties in the New Town, Morningside and Corstorphine, and hedges on properties bordering parks and green spaces.

Emergency Tree Surgeons in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's coastal edge at Leith, Portobello and Cramond means some properties are exposed to storm winds off the Firth of Forth, while the wider city sees its share of storm and gale damage to mature street and garden trees. If a tree or branch comes down anywhere in Edinburgh, get in touch and we'll assess how urgent the work is and respond accordingly.

Tree Pruning and Crown Work in Edinburgh

Mature trees across Edinburgh's parks, streets and established gardens — particularly in the New Town, Morningside and along the Water of Leith — often need crown reduction, thinning or deadwood removal to manage size and safety near tenements, listed buildings, roads and footpaths.

Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Areas in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has 49 separate conservation areas, including the Old and New Towns, which together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 4,500 listed buildings. The City of Edinburgh Council requires consent for work on trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order and written notification for trees within a conservation area. Given how much of the city — from the historic core out to many of its inner suburbs — falls within one designation or another, it's always worth checking a tree's status before carrying out work, and we can advise on what to look into.

Tree Work Around Edinburgh's Homes and Gardens

Edinburgh's housing is genuinely varied — tenement flats across much of the city typically share back greens rather than large private gardens, New Town townhouses and Victorian villas in areas like Morningside and the Grange often have established private gardens with mature trees, and suburban areas further out have more conventional garden plots. We adjust our approach to access, machinery and waste removal significantly depending on whether a job is in a tight central close or a suburban garden.
