Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover?
We provide tree surgery, grounds maintenance and landscaping services across Sunderland, Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Seaham, and the wider North East. For large commercial contracts, we’re happy to travel further afield.
Are you fully insured and qualified?
Yes — our team is fully insured, and all operators hold NPTC and LANTRA certifications for professional tree surgery and machinery use. We also provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for commercial work.
Do I need permission to remove or prune a tree?
In some cases, yes. If your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or lies within a conservation area, you’ll need approval from your local council before any work. We can help you check permissions before starting any job.
What types of clients do you work with?
We work with both domestic and commercial clients, including property managers, retail parks, industrial estates, schools, housing developers, and private homeowners throughout the North East.
Can you handle large-scale site clearances?
Absolutely. We specialise in large site and field clearances, removing overgrown vegetation, scrubland, and debris safely and efficiently using operated machinery like skid steers and wood chippers and Brush Mow’s.
Do you offer regular grounds maintenance contracts?
Yes — we provide one-off visits and ongoing maintenance contracts for both residential and commercial clients. Our flexible plans include mowing, hedge cutting, litter picking, and seasonal upkeep.
What machinery do you have available for hire?
We offer operated machinery hire across the North East, including Tracked wood chippers, skid steers, ride-on mowers, and brush mowers — all operated by trained professionals for safe, efficient site work.
How soon can you start a job?
For most domestic projects, we can schedule within a few days. Commercial or large-scale contracts may require a site survey first, which we can usually arrange within 48 hours of your enquiry.
What happens to the waste and materials after tree or site work?
All green waste is recycled or repurposed. We chip branches, shred vegetation, and dispose of materials responsibly in line with UK waste management regulations. Nothing goes to landfill unnecessarily.
