What Sets Our Caversham Tree Work Apart
A mature tree in a Caversham garden is an asset right up until it starts overhanging a roof, blocking light or shedding limbs after a storm. We are a family run team of qualified arborists working across Caversham, Emmer Green and the wider Reading area. Every job begins with an honest assessment and a price you can rely on. Call us on 01494 623191 to arrange a free site visit.
Local Planning Knowledge
Large parts of Caversham sit within conservation areas and many of its older specimens carry Tree Preservation Orders. We check the status of your tree with Reading Borough Council before a saw comes out of the van.
Access Without Damage
Riverside plots, steep Caversham Heights gardens and rear access down a shared alley all need planning. We dismantle in sections, rig branches down under control and lay protection across lawns, borders and paving.
A Named, Accountable Team
You will know who quoted the job and who is arriving to do it. Every member of our team is DBS checked and pictured by name on our website.
Responsible Disposal
All arisings leave site the same day and are recycled as woodchip, mulch or seasoned firewood. We can also leave logs behind if you have a wood burner.

FAQs
Do I need permission before removing a tree in Caversham?
Possibly. Trees in a conservation area or under a Tree Preservation Order need consent from Reading Borough Council, and unauthorised work can carry heavy fines. We check this for you as part of the quoting process and can submit the application on your behalf.
Can you reach gardens with no side or vehicle access?
Yes. A good deal of our Caversham work happens in gardens reached only through a house or a narrow shared passage. We use compact tracked machinery, hand carry equipment where needed and remove material in manageable loads.
How do I know if a tree has become unsafe?
Warning signs include fungal brackets at the base, splits in the main stem, sudden leaning, lifted soil around the roots and dead limbs held in the canopy. A tree survey gives you a written assessment and a clear recommendation.
When is the best time of year to prune a large tree?
Late autumn and winter suit most species, as the tree is dormant and under less stress. Deadwood removal and safety work can be carried out at any point in the year, and we avoid disturbing nesting birds during the spring and summer months.
Are you insured to work close to buildings and power lines?
Yes. We carry £10 million public liability insurance and supply risk assessments and method statements on request. Work near live overhead lines is coordinated with the network operator before we begin.
