Our services in Motherwell

Most calls start with a simple worry: a branch is too close to the house, a stump is in the way, a hedge has grown out of reach, or storm damage needs clearing. These are the tree surgery services we provide across Motherwell and nearby areas.

Professional Tree Surgery in Motherwell

Motherwell was once known as 'Steelopolis', home to the huge Ravenscraig steelworks and one of the largest concentrations of steel and heavy industry in Scotland until Ravenscraig closed in the 1990s. That former industrial land, between Motherwell, Carfin and Wishaw, is now Strathclyde Country Park, a large area of parkland and loch that gives the town a very different, greener character alongside its older terraced and tenemented streets. We carry out tree surgery for homes and gardens across Motherwell, working around everything from town centre streets to newer housing on reclaimed land.

Tree Removal in Motherwell

We remove dead, dangerous or unwanted trees from gardens across Motherwell, including older, tighter streets around the town centre, where controlled sectional dismantling protects boundary walls, sheds and neighbouring properties.

Tree Cutting & Felling in Motherwell

Tree cutting and felling in Motherwell covers garden trees on residential estates as well as larger specimens closer to Strathclyde Country Park, where access and felling direction need extra planning around the loch and parkland.

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal in Motherwell

After a tree is removed, we grind the stump down below ground level so gardens across Motherwell, from older terraced plots to newer estate gardens, can be replanted or relaid without an awkward leftover stump.

Hedge Cutting in Motherwell

We cut and maintain hedges across Motherwell, from boundary hedges on residential estates to larger hedges on properties closer to Strathclyde Country Park and the town's green spaces.

Emergency Tree Surgeons in Motherwell

If a tree or large branch comes down in Motherwell, whether in a garden or near Strathclyde Country Park, get in touch and we'll assess how urgent the work is and respond accordingly.

Tree Pruning and Crown Work in Motherwell

Mature trees around Motherwell's older residential streets and near Strathclyde Country Park often need crown reduction or thinning to manage size safely near houses, walls and footpaths.

Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Areas in Motherwell

North Lanarkshire Council is the planning authority for Motherwell and administers Tree Preservation Orders alongside the Hamilton Road Conservation Area. Given the number of mature trees in the town's older streets, it's always worth checking before carrying out work — we can advise on what to look into.

Tree Work Around Motherwell's Homes and Gardens

Motherwell's housing reflects its industrial past, with older terraced and tenemented streets near the town centre offering more modest garden space, and newer housing built on reclaimed former industrial land, including around the former Ravenscraig site, offering larger, more conventional gardens. We adjust our approach for access, machinery and waste removal depending on which part of Motherwell a job is in.

Areas We Cover Around Motherwell

Alongside Motherwell itself, we regularly cover the surrounding North Lanarkshire towns nearby.

How Much Does a Tree Surgeon Cost in Motherwell?

Tree surgery costs in Motherwell depend on tree size and condition, access — particularly around older town centre streets — and whether stump grinding or full waste removal is needed. See our full tree surgeon cost guide.
